Undressing

Harsh light casts a pale sheen and stark shadows
Across your curving hourglass shape
Perfect contours like the arching scrolls of a cello
Rolling and twisting, spiraling and peaking in round softness
Your body worthy of centuries of study and art

I have been undressing you in my dreams
Night after restless, sleepless, unfulfilled night
Yearning and aching for the moment when
You would reveal your naked unadorned self to me
And that moment is now

I hold you gently between my legs, my arms around you
Always exploring and supporting, never overpowering
Our bodies swaying together in a gentle adagio
I am captivated by your beauty, I am glowing in your luminescence
I am breathless in your presence

I am above you, probing, my eyes to your eyes, my body to your body
We are pouncing and prowling, teasing and coaxing, caressing and lingering
You turn your lips to my biceps, you taste my sweat and
Fill yourself with the strength flexing beneath my soft skin
A sweet joyful vibrato escaping from your throat

I am still undressing you in my dreams
The lines now blurred between what was real and what was imagined
Between what was distinctly you and me and what is now and forever us
We are growing together, beyond the physical and into the eternal
Sex is overwhelming and powerful, love is so so much more
