Stealing the Night


There is a fire burning white
Within my soul
Stoked, fed by only one thing
You, when...
In the stillness before dawn
You hear the whisper of my need
Reach out to feel the swell of my chest
The strong beating of this heart
Knowing, cherishing the fact
That every beat belongs to you.

And it is that moment,
With your cheek pressed to my breast
When every thud resounds
In the echo of your smile,
That I love you the most.
That I need you absolutely
To complete my life.

For in the deep morning hours
You know the sensation of my lips
To skin gone flush at first touch
Awaiting each caress with greed.
You know the trace of my touch
Hands gliding the path of your pleasure
With a strong tenderness
Pressing with a tentative surety
That grows bolder with every moan.

You know the sound of my passion
As the moans grow louder by the minute
When you take me beyond heaven's gate
And bring me back in the same breath
By simply whispering my name.
And you know that moment of completion
When forever freezes in a super-heated nova
And it is your face I see in every star in heaven
As we fall into each others arms
And sleep steals the remainder of the night
Just as you stole my heart
Long ago.
