dusk arising

beautiful pastime


slowly, oh so slowly, 
as if stroking the warm night air
which clothes her nakedness
his fingertips,
barely touching 
trace her soft curves 
tell of the tenderness 
full in his heart
for the gift of her love, 

relaxed, content,
oiled, perfumed
gossamer caresses
trace unhurried journeys
of discovered pleasure
over tingling flesh 
bringing shudders
sudden quiet gasps
whimpering 
breaths held
released
uncontrolled panting
then thrashing
grasping his hand to stillness
the longed for look
of her eyes
a time of pleasure
and for no return
no lustful gratification goal in mind 
other than to feel
her pleasure....
to please her
this way 
pleasure itself
needing her to know him
for his delight
in simply worshipping
her beauty
