To Trace Her Form

by Michael

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 so beautiful. And I know how some memories never fade. We may have to ignore them to keep on going, but they don't ever truly leave.
