Slow Dance


from the ABC set Lurve Ramblings

We move, imperceptibly
to the music;
my hands behind your heart,
as it races ahead of the beat.
Your arms around my neck,
your breath sending ripples
of pleasure down my spine;
eyes closed on my shoulder.
I breathe the scent of you;
passion's musk, made
heady by anticipation.
Drawing back my face,
I sense your lips part,
My heart whispers
... 'I Love You'.....
Your eyes, through
half closed, heavy lids
and your lips, as they
lay gently on mine,
reciprocate.

This is beautiful, Chris - love those lines Magic picked out and

'I breathe the scent of you;

Very good =) My favorite lines were

"I sense your lips part,
My heart whispers
... 'I Love You'....."

I am quite a sucker for a good romance novel/poem. Awesome job. =)
