Let Me Lead You, My Love
Take my hand and let me lead you
Let your strong hand be pliant
In my soft and tiny one
Let me lead you
Enjoy the journey
Knowing my heart is a true compass
The map to my hidden treasure clear
Be trusting as a child
I will protect your heart from all harms
Darling, let me lead
My steps are sure and light
We soon break upon the sight
An enclosed bit of paradise
Beside the bubbling brook of my dreams
Is a sheltered nook
I lead you to lie down
And rest your head in my pillowy lap
My hand caresses your face
My lips plant little kisses on your forehead
And murmur sweet nothings in your ear
I feel your body relax
As I sing my love songs to you
Under the weeping willow tree
Of my fantasy world
I let you sleep
Knowing you need rest
Before you can experience
All I have in store for you
And while you’re away from me
In your enchanted “dream within a dream”
I let the wind teach me the art of caressing
The sun how to warm a body
The stream how to flow with pleasure
The flowers how to give nectar sweet
And the clouds how to tease
I learn while you sleep
You start to stir
Nimbly, my fingers undo
The upper portion of my dress
Eager to bare
My womanly charms
Underneath which beats
A heart wanting to please
I then lean over you
Brushing my lips against yours
You respond with warmth
On the verge of awakening
Your eyes flutter open
Take in my half naked form
You lower me down to you
And turn to lean over me
My face looks up to the azure sky
I look at a lone eagle soaring high
And I smile, knowing
Our love is about to take flight
But….I am not being touched
I look up at your face
And I quickly draw in my breath
For your eyes are hungry travelers
Taking in every curve and peak
Your pent up passion
Needing permission to touch
I reach out to you
My hand finds yours and guides it
To what your eyes admire
And with a sigh, I reach up
And drawn your head down
So you can savor me
As the eagle circles overhead
Circling and circling
Watching you
Feed
And now I let you lead
You undress the remaining piece
That keeps you from full possession
I am pliant in your hands
As each sensation
You orchestrate
Trembles through me
Drawing from my lips
That which assures you
The music is about to crescendo
To your grand finale
I close my eyes
To keep back ecstacy's tears
For I am loved as only one can be
In dreams
We later bathe in the stream
We bask in the sun
You help me dress
And you give me your hand
As with the kiss of a breath, you whisper,
“Lead me, my love, lead me.”
