I want to feel your breath
in a slow but speeding
up rhythm as I enter your
body, filling you with my
love.

I want to feel your skin and
the goosebumps on it as you
are reaching that peak of
pleasure and I feel the final  
movements of your your
body under mine which is
almost still.

I want to hold your hand as
you squeeze mine when you
are absolutely satisfied
because your body has told
you so.

I want to see you smile when
you, worn out from making
love to me are being carried
to the shower by me where...

the warmth will sooth us back
to life, warming me like sunlight
and soothing you like rain and
burning  us both with passion
and stealing away the pain.
