Life Begins
The candle flickers on it’s stand he hugs her waist and holds her hand. He gently whispers in her ear so softly she can barely hear. He tells her all the things he craves the words for her alone, he saves. Undoing buttons on his shirt as he gently lifts her skirt. Her hands they seek a place to rest and find one on his hairy chest. Hands sliding slowly over skin awaken feelings deep within. Mixing love and lust and passion in a careless lover’s fashion. Hands unsteady, body shaking as if the very earth were quaking. Sweet release; a lover’s bliss followed by a gentle kiss. So out of love begins a life free of tension and of strife, without flaw in every way perfect as a summer day.
