As the candlelight flickers in the darkness
And catches the essence of your brown skin
I see myself drifting, getting lost in your eyes
All while holding your hand.

A fresh cool breeze blows through the window
And whisks through you velvety hair
You throw your head back and smile
As you inhale the godly refreshing air.

You speak with a voice that's so serene
And it plays a blissfully sweet melody in my ear
I hang onto every word that parts your smile
And each seems to gesture for me to come near.

I kiss you ever so gently on your scented wrist
And gaze one last time into your eyes
I turn and look towards the heavens
As I lay my head upon you thigh.

So many great lines, but oh how wonderful...  "I hang onto every word that parts your smile And each seems to gesture for me to come near."  How fantastic to experience those feelings for another human being.

Thanks for your response.  I believe everyone will enjoy the next one I write. I collaborated with a friend and we were both proud of it.  Everyone look for "Quiet Storm."
