For one more moment,
I would give up forever.
Tight embrace, a wool blanket
to conceal us in affection.
Nearby fire mirroring our desire,
hot, some like it, but tonight
warmth and ease
blissful peace of togetherness.
A still night, but save for
the faint sounds of raindrops.
Opened wine, scented candles
eyes closed, a slow passionate
kiss to destroy all before it...

Eyes open, unhurried,
blurry scene come to focus.
Sounds like a dream
Or a forgotten memory?
Perhaps a glimpse,
a mere twinkle,
of what's to come
