Listening

I heard you in the night...
your breath, your tender sigh,
eyes piercing beyond the surface,
your beauty unmasked by the moonlight,
lips inviting to stay,
a sharing of life, love, and hurt -
a sharing of two, 
soft skin and smooth curves,
my mind on fire
your body aglow,
passion flows like a mountain stream
knowing its path...sharing its gifts,
we give, we take, we share -
a night, one night, a moonlit night
I heard you.....
