I close my eyes
And I see your face
Like a beacon in the night
Welcoming.
Warm.
Inviting.
Calling me home.
You embrace me with your smile
And I can feel your love wrap around me
Like the security blanket
I had when I was a child
Wide-eyed.
Eager.
Anxious to grow up
Into the young woman
That I am today.
Wishing.
Waiting.
Hoping.
Praying.
For my Prince Charming to come take me away.
Far away
From my inner demons
Who haunt me
Torment me
Tell me that I am not worthy to be loved
By someone like you.
You are the epitome
Of all I have ever wanted
Yet who I never imagined
Could
Would
Want me.
So I run from you
Insecure.
Hiding.
Afraid of all you have to offer me.
But the love in your eyes
The sweet sound of your voice
The warmth of your caress
The thought of your lips on mine
Draws me closer
Makes me weak
I shudder at the thought
Of us together
Bodies intertwined
Two people becoming one
Against the world
For you are the forbidden fruit
That fell from the tree
And I want to taste you
Savor your flavors
One…
By…
One…
Devour you with my passion
Undeniable.
Uncontrollable.
Unfathomable.
Until we explode from ecstasy
And fall asleep in each other’s arms
Enveloped in love’s rapture
Only to wake
And do it
Again.
