Collaboration Contest

No Looking Back


Morning light breaks through my trance...as
your loving words float off into the wind...like
a kaleidosope of butterflies,
flashing before my eyes.

Too many forgotten words...
long after the euphoria of your first caress.

Your eager fingers playing smoothly
along my nerve ends...like
a magical moonlight sonata
lain out on an ethereal keyboard.

Droplets of musky perspiration
trailing down your chest...
lips, those precious lips, following
into the glistening valley of desire...as
a blue haze of passion
is thrown to never ending heights. 

Side by side two lost souls passing in the night...grasping
seeking solace one more time,  holding each other tight.

Silent as a whisper... I slipped away
not looking back at your slumbering form
I knew I could not stay in the safety of your arms
I could not endanger your life again.

I could not write anything to express my feelings more than what I wrote on Seren's post, so forgive me for c/p it to.... The end is driving me insane... go back! The danger lies in NOT having such love. Seriously, you two wrote a beautiful, if somewhat sorrowful night of passion that fits perfectly with the sonata.
