Connect the Dots

Connect the Dots
For the past hour I have been tracing your profile gently 
with me finger. I started at your forehead and traced the 
side of your face, stopping at your temple. First stop, 
one kiss. Scrolling over to the contour of your 
nose. Stop two, second kiss. 
Look at those wonderfully 
designed eyes. Oh, how they captivate me. 
Third stop, fourth stop. Kiss three and four softly 
cover your eyes. My finger moves slowly across your 
face. It must tickle because you start to wake.
Quickly I pause. Oops, I cannot erase the line I just made.
Kiss number five is slightly out of place, 
but it does not matter you still 
lay sleeping peacefully. 
My finger again acts as beauty's pen. 
Tracing down to your cheek, the sixth kiss
is put in its proper place. 
Slowly, my finger slides towards your chin. 
Dot seven is worthy of savoring  
Ever so softly, the pen rises to your lips. 
From corner to corner eight and nine reach 
their mark. Yes, I see a picture now. 
Only one dot remains, but now you are awake 
mumbling, "What are you doing?"
I place my finger in the middle of your lips.  
"Ssshhhh," my reply placing my lips on of yours 
completely fulfilling number ten.  
"Good Morning to the sexiest woman alive.
I was just connecting the dots. 
How did you sleep? Well, I hope.
You look so beautiful lying there in all your splendor.
Could you feel me covering you with my kisses?
I am sorry I woke you. Go back to sleep so I can finish 
tracing the rest of you." 
And it is off to dot eleven
