Waterdance

Fading into Dark

Your perfume lingers

In the momentary solitude,

Your warmth still radiates 

On my bare skin.

Fire crackles down into ash,

I await within the cocoon 

Of these sheets

For a renewal,

Passion's kiss,

Sweet caress,

You and me

Entwined.

~

The door opens

And you let the robe

Slip away.

Your body sways,

Your steps

A language

No emotion

Can express.

~

We huddle,

Freedom

In each other's arms,

Heart to heart,

Fire fading to ash

Into the dark.
