The Secret

Dabbing cologne on my body
I smell him enter the room.
The night lights shut off
and his thought becomes
the shadows that move.

His hand guides mine
and I feel his warm touch
returning to me once more
in the darkness to love me.

I call to him softly
and he answers I am here,
his breath felt as I exhale.
This is the secret I share,
my love dwells in silence.

This is rather good, Sharon...shades of illicit love perhaps? Thought I would call around and inquire as to how you are these days...good I hope? My very best regards! :) john
