Winter Sun

Lying before me like a forest blanketed in snow
She is untouched and cold
   But receptive.

Gently, as the winter sun
I caress her, warming her, melting her,
   Until she is moist.

Soon she is teaming with life,
Awakened by wandering touches
   In a slow timeless dance

And when we are done and still
A smile is all that is necessary to assure her
   I will return again tomorrow.
