Octaves of Love

Line of inquiry: 

“joy, empathy, compassion
on an upward arc
an effervescence eternal
causes bliss ignition to start”



Hushed footsteps, 
    lilting notes play.
        Brahams fills the air.
            Hesitent breaths.
                Anticipated waiting.
                   Eyes glint.
                       Thoughts unspoken.
                            Evocative emotion.                   
   Tenderly touching.
        Body trembling.
             Aroused pleasure .
                   Inviting, beckoning kisses.
                          Tempestuous taste.
                                  Tantalising whispers.
                                          Sensual surges.
                                                    Beetoven's 5th livens the tempo.
    A teasing pause,
       as minds unite.
            Firm pleasurable grasp.
                   Ecstasy within.
                       Rhythmic motion.
                               Pulsating pleasure.
                                       Two become one.
                                               Tumultuous need.
  Intense thrust,
        Ignited lust.
               Passion pinnacles.
                       Exaltation.
                            Rapture.
                                  Smoldering heat.
                                          Pronounced breathing.
                                                    Heart beats pounding.
   Melt into each others arms, 
            Eyes intimately meet, 
                    Smiles, 
                         exhausted contentment.
                                 Exhaling calmly.
                                          Eyes close. 
                                                 Restful sleep.
                                                          In love.
