I See You

I can see you lying still
Trembling
Breathing
Anticipating
With half-shut eyes of what is to come.

I can see you lying still
Waiting
Waiting
Waiting
For the first shock of my touch.

I can see you lying still
Quiet
Quiescent
Still
Responding to my first touch.

I can see you gleaming
In the dark
Pale breasts
Rising uninhibited
Proud under my hands.

I can see you surrender
In whispers
In moans
In half-voiced words
To my love and longing.

I can see you smiling
Breathing
Relaxing
Satisfied
Reluctant to release me
From the prison of your arms.

I can see you so clearly
Pearl of grace
Lying
In languid delight
But only in my mind's eye.
