LOVE AND DESIRE

Original Submission by Chantal Lombard

LOVE AND DESIRE

I watch you move, eroticism in your every step

You walk in beauty, like the night

With your lovely eyes and skin so fair

Sweet ecstasy that only lovers share

I feel the magic of the night embracing us

As fresh as a clean cotton sheet

Make love to me in the moonlight

Share the sensations and love me

An explosion of feeling, an explosion of desire

Your slender fingers entwining with mine

Touch of a hand, breath on my skin...

Your touch, gentle as a feather

With warm lips we smiled, we yearned, we sought

A heart on fire, burning with desire

Each sensation of your electric pulse

And you smile, the goddess of my dreams

With bosoms heaving and hips pressed so near

And you lay before me like a vision

And then, my lover, you let me explore

Erotic touches, warm loving caresses

I feel the sheet give way to your body, back arched

I kiss your lips, I kiss your nipples

Pale pink rose of many petals… teasing

Sighs escape me... and the petals open

I warm your bud in my hands carefully, my fingers massaging tenderly

Husky breaths as blood rushes in our veins

The lips that mix with mine with murmurings

As the pale pink petals slowly fall away

You look to the skies holding your breath, awaiting my every touch

Your head tilts to the side sensually

I love the feelings that well up in me

Electric sparks in socket walls… Explosive

Giving to each other, measure for measure

Lips tasting each other’s sweetness

With loving touches and sighs

Lost in the slow consuming fire

Night sweats; pearls of sweat drowning in this heat

Skin against skin… soul to soul… velvet lips

Heaving bosoms, bodies so tight… gasping

And I feel the brilliance and softness of you

The two of us swaying to the music under the moonlight

Moving slowly… every inch, sound, smell, touch

My tongue between your velvet lips… Sweet nectar

Then I kiss you with honeydew on my lips

Our emotions will grow and our sensuality will breathe

Candles flickering, head leaned back

Breathless Angel in my teddy bear arms

In life and laughter, of love, promises and desire.
