The Dinner

Your eyes were locked on target, looking beyond what you saw into the unknown, (me) and as you stared at me, I felt like everyone of my last thoughts you owned.
As you sat there..i could hear your voice..such sweet sounds..I heard ..I listened I sat in awe.I felt envious of me and all the men in that room that night
As the waiter brings the first entree and you sip...you burst out laughing..that gleeful laugh that calms the hardest of souls..A bit too hot for your liking..yuh nuh like nottin too hot.
And as i watch you..a myriad of thoughts cross my mind.
"Life allows us to meet the wrong people first, so when we meet the right ones we know them." 
You are able to see things in me that people who are close to me fail to see that sums up why I feel so connected to you: "" You've gotten me to express myself in ways I usually wouldn't.
I have seen many sides to your persona..the tough, no nonsense,the business and the soft, fragile and sensitive side to you. The "enigma" to you which is all you, 
I have realised its not a show , it's just the side to you that's easiest for you to portray..it attracts,disarms,but,I want to go beyond that. beyond your smile, your upbeat spirit and your some-what flawless happy-go-lucky demeanor .
But then i have digressed.
The sound of your laughter brings me back to you.
the aroma from the food,curry,not your fave ,but then on a cold portland night ,it hits the spot.
The wine ..white wine goes down smoothly..enhancing that glow on your face...
after we dine,we are conscious of the music in the background ,our song ..yes we do have a song.  
(if only for one night,luther vandross)
We excuse ourselves from the table...
....i lead you onto the balcony.
as we look ou,the landscape,everything is in sync,the stars,the breeze..the music
as we embrace,a sigh escapes from you...as if all your cares,thoughts.were let loose....I run my hand down your arm,soft..your body seems to have become entwined with mine.. separated by lace ..brush against me..i can feel you slowly wining,your hand roam beneath my shirt all over my smoothly shaven skin..I slowly run my hand over your assets . feeling those curves,i feel my hands trembling..its so hard to play it cool.. when deep down deep down..my heart races...
I feel you come up on me,twin mounds still stiff..as if about to explode...
and as we dance , we have reached another plateau.
.and i cant resist .
my tongue reaches your ear.
..your body tightens on mine.
i feel you tighten.
