Time slips away, leaving only the memories,

shadows of reality once solid,

now fleeting and flawed

yet no less precious for that.

The memory of waking to find you next to me,

arms across me, holding, touching me as I lay,

seeing awareness in your eyes as they open,

to see me smiling, welcoming you to a new day.

Seeing the look change to hunger and lust,

bristles against my cheek, scratching, rubbing,

My hand reaching down, feeling your hardness grow harder,

teeth on my breasts, fingers between my legs, touching.

Breath coming faster as arousal increases,

Electricity in the slightest touch of your hand on my skin,

Desire overwhelming all other feelings,

wanting you as part of me, joined, linked, within.

My arms opening to you, inviting you,

legs parting as you move to accept the invitation,

bodies joined in mutual love, lust, need.

My legs locked behind your back, holding you,

pulling you deeper, trying to hold the moment,

to make it last, eternal, never-ending.

Then we are climbing the mountain together,

 to come, come closer, nearer, together, in love.
