I stare into her eyes and float in those bottomless

pools of sun-kissed honey,

words flow from her mouth like poetry as we lay intertwined

in the silvery silk sheets as if we are but one

I drape her hair around my fingers,

as her’s caress the skin above my heart 

The warmth betwixt our bodies softens the pain. 

We lay 

and 

we lay

as our heartbeats become a singular force

until finally, 

I am content.
