My Love

He enters my life through the front door.
Using the key I have to him.
I watch him enter and my breath quickens in anticipation.
Knowing what's to come.
He takes me in his arms and holds me fast.
I grab on to him.
Like a drowning person holding on to a life preserver.
Without feeling my feet moving we are suddenly in my bedroom.
Our clothing becomes pools of fabric at our feet.
Finally we are in bed, in each other's arms, where we belong.

He looks deep into my eyes and caresses my cheek.
He slowly moves his head forward until his lips touch mine.
Our tongues move in a dance that has no beginning, no end.
His large calloused hands move over my skin.
Touching, rubbing, cupping...
Until I can't breathe from the sensations.
Our bodies are pressed together.
Flesh touching flesh.
I can feel his heart beating,
Its rhythm matches mine.
He enters me and we become one.

I can no longer think, I can only feel.
I hold him to me tightly with my arms and my legs.
Sensations wash over me like a tidal wave.
Colors I have never seen before dance before my eyes.
My every nerve ending is alive and singing.
They reach a crescendo, an explosion!
I yell out his name!
He yells out mine!
He collapses next to me and pulls my trembling body into his arms.
We cannot speak.
We can only breathe.
Sweet ecstasy.

Finally, he caresses my cheek again and kisses my forehead.
As I watch him dress my heart starts to sink.
One more kiss and then it's goodbye.
He leaves my life as he entered it.
Through the front door.
Using the key I gave to him.

The passage above is an original poem written by me.  Even though I write a lot of it, I NEVER share my poetry with anyone so this is really scary for me.  It's at this moment that I don't care that no one actually reads my blog.  Ha-ha.
