Ever Closer
By Richard Maxfield
12-8-2000

It starts with your eyes
Soft deep alluring
Flashing the message
I receive it no doubt

You hold your body
In that special way
Reassuring, inviting, sensual
It tells me more

The look on your face
Waiting, wanting, asking
Beckoning me to come
Closer and touch

I respond in kind
Moving closer to you
Opening my arms
Inviting you in

You’re in my arms
I’m in yours
Our bodies touch
As we melt into one

Peering deep in your soul
We know with anticipation
What our further holds
For us the world stands still

Ever closer we move
Until ecstasy at last
Your soft sweet lips
Fall upon mine

Max, welcome to Passions!  We hope that you find many wonderful moments within...sit back, relax, read, write, ... enjoy all!

And check your e-mail for a special greeting!

I would rather be silent and write, than speak loudly and be bound.

Welcome to Passions Forums!  We are glad to have you here, there is something for everyone here, and the people are terrific!
I thought this was a very moving, romantic piece, and I'm glad to see you are not afraid to express yourself!

What is that you express in your eyes? It seems to me more than all the words I have read in my life.
