With the Dawning Light
I lean against the railing
Drinking in the setting sun
The breeze dances in my hair
The day will soon be done
I feel your arms around me
Your body pressed against mine
I lean back on your shoulder
Drink in your scent like wine
Your lips linger on my neck
I let out a gentle sigh
“Come inside, my sweet darling
Let the moon rise in your eyes.
I know I’m often busy
Love making seems so rushed
Tonight I’ll take things slow
In a room tranquil and hushed.”
You turn me round to face you
You claim me with a kiss
“Oh, come with me, my darling
Let me fill this night with bliss
You give me all that I want
You never withhold my due
Tonight, lie back, my darling
Let ME make love to you.”
You carry me to our bed
And gently lay me down
I close my eyes and sigh
As your hands undress me now
“Just let me love and hold you
Let me ravish till morning light
In liquid warmth of sweetness
Is where I will pass this night.”
I feel your hands caress me
I feel your lips of fire
I faintly hear your murmurs
As I’m taken by desire
Tenderly, gently, slowly
You tease my receptive mind
Knowing full well, it is there
My fantasies you will find
I listen and I follow
I surrender as I'm lead
Tonight you want to give
Tonight I will be fed
Passion has shut my eyes
Every touch...magnified
Your lips kiss away my tears
When in release I have cried
I finally resurface
Your hand toys with my damp hair
Your lips give a longing kiss
Of your need I’m now aware
I croon softly in your ear
“Let desire now take flight
Come in to me, my darling
Come now with the dawning light.”
