She Sighed Softly

As the fire flickered
And the clock chimed 7
She sighed softly
As he became her
For a while they laid
     Still...
Capturing the moment
Their souls merging
As if it were their last
     Time together...
The without a sound
He moved softly
     Rhythmically...
Time ceased to exist
As his movements
Became more demanding
And yet still gentle
His eyes glued to hers
His thoughts flowing into her
    "I love you"
Said mutually inside
      Yet held back...
And then let out
       She moaned...
It was as if there was no room
No light outside
As if the world broke away
And left them 
       There to stay...
She floated higher
Grasping his shoulders
       She felt his shivers...
And finally breathing in heaven
And exhaling pleasure
       They felt release....
       Trembling...
Hearts rapidly beating
Their souls
Dancing happily....

As the fire flickered
The clock chimed 8
She sighed softly 
And he became her....
