At the End of the Day

At the end of the day...

When you are tired
When you have worked too hard
I will take your hand and lead you
Through the woods to the mountain pool

I will undress you
And carry you
Into the cool refreshing water

I will wash your silken hair under the waterfall
I will caress your tired body
And invigorate you with sweet smelling oils
Crushed from wild herbs

I will kiss you dry
And dress you in a gossamer gown
And lead you back to our table

I will feast you on fruits of the forest
And jasmine tea

Then I will take you in my arms
To our bed of moss
And under an eiderdown of autumn leaves
I will caress your body

My hands and my lips will explore you
Gently tracing an outline of your sensual curves
I will linger in the hills
And slowly cross the plain

And when I reach the essence of your femininity
We will wrap our bodies around each other
And dance in unison to the fire of our passion

And I will love you and treasure you
Honour and protect you
Until the end of time
