Above the Clouds

Above the clouds... I’m reaching there…. In the "twinkling of an eye" Your eyes That sparkle Of fierce possession Of domination Of the cave man…”You’re my woman!” Sensation I’m getting there My body floating Your touch Speeding me on my way Wanting Demanding Claiming Inflaming Almost...almost there…. I’m breaking free The world falls away With a sigh I pass through There in brilliant blue Above the clouds Scorched by the blazing sun Eyes closed...I'm floating free Nothing can bother me The sheer abandon to ecstacy Envelops me I long to stay here In this place Untouched by time And yet, I slowly descend Very slowly I sink Beneath the clouds Opening my eyes To the ordinary world Of you and me Wishing I could always be Tasting eternity... Above the Clouds. June 14, 2013 For Drake E's Contest
