The Kiss

You kissed me 
I surrendered
It was involuntary
The seed was planted
It grew. It blossomed
Passion abounds

The Nape of Her Neck

I can visualize you on your side, sleeping
Gently, I lift the hair from your shoulders
To expose the nape of your neck
It whispers, quietly sings a sensual song
My lips gently touching your skin, we dance
My tongue ventures into the valley
The nape of your neck, indented, erotic
Eyes fixed, I see your body respond
Your skin tone reveals red, passion
You gasp, quitely your body reacts
No words are spoken, yet you speak loudly
I can smell, I can taste the desire
The nape of your neck, calls my name

Love and Destiny

Sometimes I close my eyes and smile
I try to imagine what you will look like
I try to imagine how it will feel to hold you
With my eyes closed, I see your smile
Patiently I wait. Your love is my destiny
I know that we're close. Watch for me. 
Listen to every sound, especially voices
Pay attention to scent, you will smell me
Look into the eyes of strangers
You will find me. I'm already inside you
I already love you. I always have

The Most Beautiful Scent

The most beautiful scent I can imagine is you
L'odeur la plus belle que je peux imaginer vous est.

I breathe the scent of your body 
Inhale, the scent excites my senses
Exhale, in anticipation of my next breath

I breathe the scent of your body
Your scent is born of passion
Its purpose is to ignite

The bouquet is unmistakably yours
I recognize this scent anywhere
Blindfolded in a crowded room

It is a scent that only I detect
It is a scent that drives me
It is you. It is beautiful

And long after you have left 
I breathe your lingering scent on my body
I breathe your lingering scent on my pillow
I breathe your lingering scent on my lips

Innocent Innuendo

Innocent innuendo
Illusion turns to reality
Clay oven, fire, heat
The kiss, passion erupts
Standing in the rain, frozen heat
Your body is wet, torrential rains
The kisses become more sensual
The rythym accelerates, faster
Rain dripping down your face
I can taste your essence
I can smell the feminine scent
Your body is wet, I feel fire
The taste of romance
Simultaneously, we collapse
Innocent innuendo

Casualties of Love

Casualties of Love
Check the victims report
Broken hearts, pain, ice cold
Check the newswire
Filled with heartbreak, desire
Walk away, never look back
That’s how it’s done, no emotion
Don’t forget to look in the mirror
It’s a reflection of your life

Illusion

Sometimes imagination is my only friend
Mind over matter, there’s no strings
With a leap of faith, interpretation speaks quietly
Without an audience, reality is but an illusion
Waiting for answers, charging forward
Faith carries its own club, weighted down
Gently it reaches, precisely engineered
Generations wait with flawed anticipation
Giving solace to the masses, ignoring the obvious
Without pretense, conclusions are discarded
Abandoned with care, loneliness gives way to hope
Respectfully declined, lost in vengeful victory
Where love triumphs and hope is a futile answer
Where feelings, dreams and destiny have been stolen
Given freely, tempted by life, we control fate
If you’re in the game, you’ve already won

The Small of a Womans Back

The small of a womans back
Sacred ground, desire
It beckons, quietly inviting

Waiting to be caressed
Waiting to be touched
Waiting to be claimed

Unmistakably feminine
Uniquely landscaped
Female curves, danger

Feel the touch of my hands
Strong, firm, suggestive
Soft, tender, comforting

The small of a womans back
Waiting to be caressed
By the hands of her lover

When I Sleep

When I sleep
I dream of your kiss

I imagine your body against mine
I imagine your skin touching mine
I can feel it. I can sense it
I feel the pressure of your lips
Your tongue gently touches mine
I taste the sweetness
I inhale an unmistakable scent
It is the scent of your body 
It inflames my passion
I open my eyes, expecting to see you
I want to touch your soft skin
Only to discover, I am dreaming

Never Before

Never before
Have I been moved
Emotionally ravaged
Loved so intensely
Penetrated so deeply
Invaded to my core
My heart pounds
Strangers turn and stare
I cannot contain it
The explosive power
The force of love
Consider this
I surrender!
I surrender!
I waive a red flag
I surrender!
Take my heart
I surrender!
Take the key
I surrender!
You are my love
You are my soul mate
