how do i tell you

how do i tell you

how happy i am

how do i tell you

that i love you

first i

bring your incredible body

close to me

i whisper in your ear

letting you know

how lovely you are

i slowly touch you

firm but gentle

never wanting to

harm a single petal

of my rose

then i kiss you

softly

slowly savoring

every taste of your nectar

i touch your hair

caressing it

between my fingers

i tell you

that no other

has ever

made me feel this way

then i must stop and just embrace you

and in return

you embrace me

the scent of you suddenly

intoxicates me

i lean backwards

against the wall

for i fear

the sudden weakness you caused

i steady myself

close my eyes and say that

i love you

you reply

i love you

now that i possess your love

i feel a lightness

as if gravity lessened

my mind tells me

to kiss you

my heart soars to new heights

i can fly

i see the world so tiny

i am looking down

at the clouds

the sun warms me

the moon

glows for us

the water looks a pale blue

and it so quiet

i kiss you again

and the coolness of the ocean engulfs me

a cloud

in the shape

of a heart

casts a shadow over us

then we lie together

and the music of the nite

overtakes us

i awaken and you are next to me

still in love

how do i tell you
