Flights of Passion

You give me a lift
to those heights I once dreamt of.
You support me in your warm embrace
and the heat comes through the silk and lace.
I cling to you with all my might.
We pass unseen from day to night.

          There’s no care to prey on both our minds.
          Scarlet sky lies wrapped in bliss.
          Gentle breeze bestows a kiss.
          It feels good to be so close, real close to you.
          Floating, floating over land and sea.
          Floating, floating, floating endlessly.
 
You ravish my soul
in pleasured ways that you know.
Fingers rouse each dormant fantasy;
your voice entreats me to set them free.
I yield as your lips have their way,
thoughts break free; I’m taken away. 

          There’s no care to prey on both our minds.
          Scarlet sky lies wrapped in bliss.
          Gentle breeze bestows a kiss.
          It feels good to be so close, real close to you.
          Floating, floating over land and sea.
          Floating, floating, floating endlessly.
 
We lose count of time
as it comes to a standstill.
We can read each other’s thoughts so well
though we dare not talk or break the spell. 
Our eyes and cheeks with pleasure glow.
Emotions rise and freely flow.

          There’s no care to prey on both our minds.
          Scarlet sky lies wrapped in bliss.
          Gentle breeze bestows a kiss.
          It feels good to be so close, real close to you.
          Floating, floating over land and sea.
          Floating, floating, floating endlessly.

We lose conscious thought
as pleasure exerts control.
Our bodies prove the zenith is near
and we arrive in euphoria’s sphere.
We revel in passionate thrill
until every tremor is still.

          There’s no care to prey on both our minds.
          Scarlet sky lies wrapped in bliss.
          Gentle breeze bestows a kiss.
          It feels good to be so close, real close to you.
          Floating, floating over land and sea.
          Floating, floating, floating endlessly.

Y'all did a great and impressive job. I could actually hear music while I read the lyrics. Good dynamics make a dynamic duet, lovely and a great romantic slow dance ... CayCay
