For You Are My Great Escape

Gently and softly, you tease me that way-
Resonating chills down my spine lead to
Enchanted fields where we become one.
Attraction becoming an ineffable distraction,
Taking me higher as we make our great escape.

Eternal haven where we can be intimate, 
Soft sentiments of silk seem to shine-
Crepuscular nights of splendor with thee,
Awaiting the touch you crave from me.
Perpetual truth that my affection wears
Ethereal wings (flying to you forever)

"Taking me higher as we make our great escape." This is where my heart stopped and said "OH!"
