The Fire In My Blood

I've told you before my sweet
but it bears repeating now
upon this helpless edge of joy

bodies joined
breath shared
hearts hammering
skins melded
heat welded
to this pressure ridge
that seperates
our pleasure from our ecstacy
where your impish grin becomes
a lower lip caught in teeth
and your face says that
you cannot quite
believe the pure delight
of rhythm we're about to start
love flooding from your dark
jet eyes into my heart...

of all the women of the world
the only one
who'll ever feel my touch
is you
the years we've spent together
seem as brief as stolen moments
and the years we'll share
for decades hence will never be enough
marriage, children, work and play
long years of building family
I thought I'd never have
and even now
you fire my blood.
