Surely this is heaven.

Surely this is heaven.

A return from the outside world
where we aim for nothing more
than to make each other
feel good
toes curled

tune out the background melody
tune in to your sweet touch-
my remedy

A dusty rose blanket
a bed of sweet surrender
you lay me down passionately
but always supple and tender

a stroke and a simultaneous,
brush of hair off my face
I trace a faint stream of silky sweat
down to the place;
that gives me such pleasure
when you are I are one
I will always remember...

Looking in your eyes
like I never have before
Surely this is heaven
that always leaves me wanting
more

Won't you do it one more time?
before I go and leave
Days later, the memories offer me
desperate reprieve-
from missing you
two minutes and twenty-three seconds
into my drive

A preset seat
a rear-view mirror
your was as you walk the pups;
googbye
everything flashes all at once
even our sipped liquid love
the thoughts could conceive goosebumps

a thin stemmed glass of wine
anything that will prolong our time
forever engrained
the whisper in my ear
the sun's Orient park shine

A beer and cider
never just one
I can still taste your kiss
on the tip of my salivating tongue

coffee mugs for two, sugar, not stirred
when you catch me off guard with "I love you", I
hang on every. word.

Surely this is heaven
us nestled here
a lounge chair made for us
wasteland, baby
kisses our ears
as the amber leaves
dance and fuss

surely this is heaven
I whisper twenty-three and a half times
I only tell you once
in the midst of a satisfied sigh

my toes curled, atop yours
passerby's on harbor tours
a window framed love
here at first and south
anywhere with you
my love
the rest we'll figure out...
