Silhouetted Sigh |

The sound of a door closing softly awakens me. Groggy, unsure of what has happened, questioning. A light fragrance assaults my senses, so pleasant and soft. Has some one been close beside me? Dreaming again, feeling the touch of another on cool arms. The kiss of a thousand dreams covering my eyes. I stir slightly, not waking. A shape from the far wall approaches. I am caught in a spell, unable to see, unable to move. A sudden feeling of softness overwhelms my soul. Touching me teasingly. Stirring, not waking, yearning for more. The sound again, of a door, awakens me. My dream shattered, I quietly follow the sound of distant steps. Cool floor beneath hot feet, soothing to my soles. My inner soul afire, flames licking high within me. A light shatters the darkness of a still house. Slight resistance yields to my touch as I enter a darkened room. A familiar and stronger fragrance assaulting my senses, reminding me. Against a far window, silhouetted by a full moon, I see a shape. The slim but full lines of femininity finely formed. The rasp of breath alerts and increases my desires. Slowly I approach the sound in my ears. The rise and fall increasing with each step. Joining hands....sighing together. Two shapes become one silhouette against a silver moon as curtains rustle...as if smiling... approving... My first post at PIP...now slightly revised... |

Magnus - I am glad that you reposted this. It is simply beautiful. Chris Life is not measured by breaths you take, but by moments that take your breath away. |
