Darkened Senses

lips, love, romance, intimacy, sensation, passion, breath

When we kiss I shut the light out with my hand
So I can keep you all for myself.
I feel the softness of your lips
As they linger on mine
The breath hovering between us
Night passion
Amid sleep
Drawing in deeper breath
Exhaling shakily
Losing hold on the world
Giving in to sensation.
That’s what this is, in its essence
Giving into the sensational sensation
That is you.
