she lingers as long as she can in the mirror
trying to be perfect in every way
trying to see herself as i will see her
trying to be as radiantly beautiful as i see her
biting softly her lip she turns
and walks with the grace her shoes allow into the room
to the bed where i wait for her
feasting on her with my loving eyes
she smiles
she knows i am pleased
she wants me as i want her
she melts onto the bed
flows like forbidden sweetness into my arms
a song to her body against mine
a beauty that has no sound
but fills every sense
a living breathing as one
that cannot be defined as anything but one word
love
