Lying In Your Arms
Slowly, the world returns
from just the two of us.
We lay here, limbs intertwined,
bodies glistening with perspiration,
gasping for breath.
I snuggle with you
and look into your eyes,
eyes the clolor of saphire,
I see an encompassing love,
and I hope you see the same,
mirrored in my own.
I can't explain this
infinite desire I have for you.
This hunger I feel
every waking moment,
consumes me supremely.
As we talk, laugh, and dream
we realize the hurdles we must surpass.
We know our road
is a tumultuous one.
One that must be crossed
step by step,
one day at a time.
Together, we will confront
those insurmountable hurdles,
conquer them as one,
knowing nothing else matters
except the love we have
for each other.
Slowly, the world recedes
to just a single pair of connected souls
lying in each other's arms.
