The Bath

I gaze at you in candlelight.
Eyes liquid with desire look
back at me. Our legs touch.
Skin against skin is a spark,
an erotic tingle, a sensual
brush that swims through
steam. Each moist caress
is a night full of pleasure.

We reach deeper. The flame
flares, circling our eyes.
Warmth wraps our hearts.
Exposed and radiant, we
float through our longing
into the light of our love.
Dreams open. Lifetimes
later, the bath still steams.
