Our Golden Veil

She moves to kiss me from above, 
her body over mine, 
moves to brush back her hair, 
to keep it from my face, 
when, 
stopping her hand I draw her closer,
and, nearing me, 
her hair falls around my head.
A curtain, golden, for us, 
just her and me, 
intensifying intimacy, 
and concealing us, 
just her and me, 
in a golden dusk 
that, as it closes, 
disregards all the world, 
but her and me. 
Her eyes, 
her lips, 
her breath, 
her mouth.
And me.

Ooooh, making love under a blanket of golden hair must be the ultimate experience. I'll cancel my haircut due this week and opt for a dye - gold, of course. lol. A sensual write, for sure. You're good. :)
