To Trace Her Form

I dimmed the lights for fear I'd see
Such loveliness and find it real
Let my eyes wander on this shape
So like my hands, they longed to feel

But dark was not enough, it seems
My other senses came to play
Her voice was that of twilight sleep
Her scent was of an autumn day

I placed my lips upon her own
Then drew her close to take all in
And drank of her, my thirst so great
Intoxicated with our sin

So fragile within arms so strong
So delicate and supple warm
I listened closely as she breathed
Allowed my hands to trace her form

In earnest did moist lips I taste
And with my fingers, combed her hair
So like the night, with my eyes closed
This dream I held while standing there

Forbidden was our touch to be
So foolish was this long embrace
We left with blush still in our cheeks
I still remember her sweet face

The years now cloud some memories
But this one's never trapped in haze
I still can smell her autumn scent
And feel her eyes upon me gaze

Michael - this is simply beautiful. Chris

Life is not measured by breaths you take, but by moments that take your breath away.

Well, there you go Michael, always messing with our breath. Either giving it, "if there's no wind,..." or, taking it away. This, of course was just that, a breathtakingly sweet and sensual memory.

Very nicely done. With those dimples I don't know how you get away with this;
without women chasing you down. Maybe they do...

This was very good and I loved every word of it.

Warmly,
Pat

when the shadow stands: fixed
unmoving
but moved within
it can be traced
by the fingers of the heart

I am sooo glad i got to see this, Auguste. Each line was a distinct pleasure to read,
feel, and remember.....*s*

This was beautiful, Michael.

Stunning. What I like to write, such grace, sensuality, honesty, and elegance. Smashing.

(did you want that to read 'my' not 'me'?)

Sincerely,

This is absolutely amazing! She must have been quite a woman to have left such an impression on you after all these years.
