My Nocturnal Valentine

Pulse quickened at sight of you
  eyes glinting in light of room
Perfume lingers....lovely...lasting
  intoxicates with waft of passion
   lips part slightly, invite me
A kiss I long for each moment that I breathe

 Velvet touch, your skin defies a texture
   to akin it to-heavenly smooth
I crave these days of touching you
  Your sighs sweet music
I read the sheet music of your beauty marks
  praise each part....caress complete
Tenderly touching forehead to feet
  
   Sensitive and searching...your voice soothes
quietly echoes through love soaked room
   Your smile tortures me as it fades
The cruelest game as you fade away..........and I wake

Cool sheets.....cold bed
  I pray we meet again as I sleep
So I may steal you from my dream
 ..... lovers divided by the walls of waking day

You really had me ready to say what a lucky Valentine. The delicacy of your passion is worded to perfection. Such a surprising and disappointing ending, sigh. Someone is definitely missing out. Thanks for your thoughtful comment Steve. I am off the site this week due to personal reasons, but should be back next week and will try to catch up on your other posts. Just had to stop by and say thanks. Love, Shar
