Taking a leisurely drive in our convertible
enjoying the warm spring air
CD bringing enticing instrumental tunes,
relaxing under the rhythmic sway of the racing spell,
all the cares of the world swallowed
as we begin the ascent on the snaking mountain roads.
Exchanging glances with curl of lips,
eyes knowing the harmony of hearts
that will play once we reach our lover’s hideaway.

Insides swirling with anticipation as we enter the lobby,
bags taken to room by the staff
so we can stroll hand in hand
to inhale the pine scent
while gazing over the cascading waterfall,
letting the rushing sound sooth our souls
before wandering the trees,
speaking the soft affections between long kisses
and tender embraces.
Standing wrapped in each other’s arms,
watching the stunning sunset,
allowing its magic to enchant in a mesmerizing spell.

Making our way back to the room,
mind feeling so lightheaded
from the power of passion’s charms.

Sitting next to the fire
savoring the wine and cheese,
music on the stereo
playing love songs,
bouquets of lavender and lilac perfuming the air,
only other light
comes from candles with aroma
of almond and cinnamon.
Running fingers through her hair,
whispers cooed my adoration
for the beauty she possesses,
deep wet kisses seal our surrender to rising needs.
Standing up and slow dancing so tightly
unto sounds of romance filling the air
until her eyes offer their invite
unto intimacy’s waiting lair.

Moving towards our night’s mattress vessel
and its sea of satin ivory sheets
soon it will be our sail to a night of ecstasy,
crumples clothes on floor
stripping away the last distractions
before being utterly submersed
in the tides of intoxicating affection.
