In the Beginning: Love Is

lazy midmorning brunches
unexpected midday lunches
quiet candlelight dinners
walks in the park
simply holding hands
stolen kisses in the dark
clandestine afternoon delights 
orgasms all through the night
dressing up for a theater date
rushing to make cocktails at eight
watching an old movie in front of a warm fire
breakfast on the run so neither of you will be fired
total distractions
fatal attractions
sending each other e-mails or text messages on your cell phones
anticipating and waiting for the next moment you can be alone
it's a many splendid thing 
it makes the heart sing
it has it's ups and downs
it makes the world go round
exotic
erotic
sexual healing
an overwhelming, all consuming
emotional feeling

In the beginning love is all that and more
