for lori How do you want the room lit? How do you want the room lit? Do you want the curtain drawn so we can see the moonlight sifting through the trees, making shadows on the ground that spell out our names? How do you want it? Will your hair be brushed back? Will I wear clothes or walk in naked? My body is not perfect. Do you love me? Will you touch me? Your body is perfect. Lie on the bed. I want to shiver with you. I would die to live with you. I’m alive. What taste? Smooth, chilled wine? Melting ice crescents? Anticipation, flowers and dreams. When we’re this close, will we notice the stack of sheets on the chair? Our unwaiting, unbinding release. Consummate. . Now ... now ... . Hold my hand, girl. The curtain is drawn. I’ll watch the silk billow and fall like the breath of god in earth’s heaven. We can fall in slow motion, wake up in the heat of our dawn. How do you want it? How do you want to live with me tonight? Tonight is now, girl. Tonight is the color and the shape of the curtain shadows, the clock that waits. Tonight is the color and the shape of our bodies under sheets. Tonight is the color and the shape of your eyes, your mouth and your hands, your hair. Tonight is our color to paint in a caress of trembling light. |

Yes, wonderfully sensual with a sincere sweetness. Well done! Although I feel allowed in to something too private to enter. |
