Love’s Caress

I long to touch your life with sweet surrender

leaving soft fingerprints caressing your name

as your skin rises up to meet me in shouts of joy

and your fragrant hair tickles my belly.

Love presses between our souls as we hold on

to two halves of our hearts stitched in ribbons.

Laughter of love breathes for us in silken sounds

rushing in like a breeze unfettered and free,

hypnotizing when you whisper your sweet nothings.

I reach up and pick a shooting star from the heavens,

weaving it between the fullness of your breasts

and pause the moon while I touch your inner core.

Silence pulses in my soul as I dive beneath your surface

with secret thoughts of bodies entwined forever

in shouting crescendos exploding in ardor and love.

I tuck your kisses under my pillow and save them

for the morning when I’ll need a little extra love

until you return to my open arms which wait

until you, my love, are back where you belong.
