'in Response To My First Poem'

An Offering

I offer you a glance
And our eyes instantly lock.
An unexpected shiver runs through me
And time stands still on the clock.
 
I offer you my hand
And you take it warmly into yours.
No words have to be spoken
Yet we have opened so many doors.
 
I offer you a dance
And our bodies meld together.
We are both in awe and astonished,
Both wanting this to last forever.

I offer you a kiss
Which makes us quiver in delight.
The passion and the pleasure
Intensifies through the night.

I offer you my heart
and I trust that you won't break.
To fall in glorious love
is a risk we yearn to take.

--------In Response-------

I see you looking at me
My eyes are riveted on yours
I see you tremble from the cold
I beckon you to come in from outdoors

I take your delicate hand
It's cold from the chilly night
Your touch speaks volumes
Your hand in mine feels so right

I guide you to the dance floor
Like magnets we sweetly entwine
Impressed and full of wonderment 
I wish then that you'll be eternally mine

I taste your heavenly lips
So stimulating I shudder with bliss
Exquisite and heavily intoxicating 
I want to drown is this delectable abyss

I see love radiating from you
Positive, confidant and sincere
This journey is going to be amazing
You are my future that is absolutely clear

Cecilia, it is still passion but aged like a fine wine. It's much better than that, but there are not words to describe it easily. Coming in from the cold makes me wonder a bit. Also, I am thinking it is the same person, but the way this is written there is a slight doubt--all in my own mind. So this is tickling me, and that is something wonderful.
