Lost In You

Lying in the emerald grass, I gaze upon you, transfixed in the moment, your beauty astounding. I watch you breathe as my finger tips slowly trace ribbons through the cerise highlights in your long saffron hair. Gently I caress the contours of your closed eyes, then your cheeks. Your lips curl in a subtle smile as I, oh so slowly, follow the curve of your neck down the valley of your soft skin to your low cut tangerine dress. With each lilac button that I release it falls away revealing your smooth ivory skin. You gasp gently when a cool breeze tickles you and I watch in enraptured desire as your bistre peaks rise firm above your bosom. With the touch of a feather my fingers draw circles and figure eights around your navel. Your body tenses, as goose bumps cover your skin, and your smile tightens. I lean forward, your crimson lips beckoning. The softness of your kiss presses against me and lingers for a long moment. "I love you," I whisper and your beautiful eyes awake. Titanium sparkles cast glitter in their deep sapphire pools and I fall, lost forever, into your bottomless loving abyss.
