One by One

One by one,
Raindrops fall heavily,
Pounding an insistent rhythm,
Lulling her to slumber

One by one,
The clouds break and depart
And the moon peeks out.
One by one,
Stars twinkle~
Through unshaded windows,
Black velvet diamonds
Shine happily

One by one,
He climbs the steps
Carrying her to the warmth
Of her bedroom

One by one,
He removes each piece of her clothing,
Drawing the lacy edge of her camisole
Teasingly over each nipple
Which spring to attention
One by one

Laying her back
Against the soft cotton sheets
Swinging her legs around
One by one, tucking them
Under the thick comforter

One by one,
He extinguishes the candles
That are scattered around the room,
The smoke mixing
With the sweet smell of roses

One by one,
They lay parallel
Moving closer
Melding together
Back to chest
Mouth to ear
Hands caressing soft skin
Hips and cheeks and protrusions
Fit together, one by one,
Like pieces of a jigsaw puzzle.
She wiggles happily against him
Surrounding his hardness with her warmth
Steel gainst the gates of dawn.
Locked in mutual embrace,
They drift off.....

One by one,
Two are one.
