Candles lit, soft music seduces my ears She takes my hand and shows me the way I stroll into a cloud with footsteps of ardor Plans for the evening thrown out the window She kisses my ear and whispers, "I love you" My knees weaken at the hint Her feminine allure too strong to resist Chemistry, physics, biology all doing their thing Blood accelerates through racetracks of my veins Sound disappears save for her voice Eyes closed, her head tossed back in anticipation Temperatures escalate as I nuzzle her neck Steam jaywalks on our bedroom window Therms of endearment The moisture on her skin collides with my goose bumps Hunger and thirst assuaged as lips caress lips Our hands investigate regions that are only ours to know My soul disappears as it merges into hers Eros meets Psyche in her palace of gold This must be heaven, or a dream, or a dream of heaven The clouds part and the music returns to soothe my pulse Afterglow dissolves all aches and thoughts of growing old We are one

Thank you my dear friend! I don't often write in the genre and needed the nudge of Silent One's contest to push me into new territory. I'm grateful for the fave, and as always, your thoughtful and encouraging words. They mean so much to me, Aditi! God bless you as well ~ John

Beautiful set scene, to two became one amidst the clouds of passion, as for 'The moisture on her skin collides with my goose bumps' what an attraction via action. A thoroughly enjoying piece, and rather dreamy I have to say. Big congrats on your win John, very nice, James :)
