Senses

Feeling
The soft warmth of your skin
Close against mine
Steaming and sizzling in the dark.

Tasting
The sweet, salty musk of your lips
Open and inviting
At once both tender and passionate.

Smelling
The gentle perfume of your hair
My face nuzzled close to your neck
Intoxicated in the rapture of you.

Hearing
The constant rhythm of your breathing
Lying here next to me
Hypnotic and comforting, the melody of dreams.

Seeing
The shadow of your form
Snuggled close to me in the dark
Watching you, captivated, longing, yet content.

Knowing
The closeness of you
And how the presence fills my senses with delight
And bathes my soul in love.
