Dance Beneath The Stars
I watch the crimson sunset with its ever changing glow
inky velvet backdrop, stars put on a show,
the fragrance of the roses climbing up the wall
the drift of his soft voice as through the door he’ll call
His footfalls on the pathway, the chink of glass on glass
we sit in silent wonder side by side upon the grass,
imbibe the honeyed nectar from the grape the sweetest flavour
intoxicating minds with each sip so long to savour
The mellow strains of music are caught upon the breeze
he asks me if I’d like to dance there beneath the trees,
he pulls me to my feet slips his arms around my waist
we sway together slowly, for this evening there’s no haste
His kisses slowly placed upon my lips ignite my fire
one look into his eyes fills my body with desire,
our bodies pressed together feel the heat begin to rise
he smiles that crooked smile, he knows he’s got his prize
I whisper “Bed”, into his ear, he squeezes even more
he picks me up and carries me, we head towards the door
with my head upon his shoulder I caress his eager lips
feel his supple body beneath my fingertips
We lay upon the bed as our bodies we explore
sensations overtake us, the climax we adore
breathless as we come, together we’re replete
man and wife as one, our love is now complete.
