Our Purple Passions

 

We Know Exactly

 

It wasn’t that long ago, and surely at the time,

it wasn’t exactly what we had in mind.

That we would gradually lose each other’s grasp,

leaving wide-eyed infatuations behind.

 

For a while I questioned

what there could ever be,

      as you danced your life

      light years away from me.

 

We know exactly from our heart’s emotions

about impetuous and ardent love so pure.

About our deepest dreams, some secret notions,

and enchantments that still endure.

 

I know exactly when you smile at me,

that you know exactly just what you do.

You know you melt my heart when we kiss tenderly,

I know I make you happy with my point of view.

 

We know exactly and we don’t pretend,

that we don’t know it’s true.

Because you feel it when you’re close to me,

and I see it when I look at you.

 

 

 

A Most Romantic Interlude

 

Patiently we waited for that

perfect place in time,

if spontaneous or planned,

we knew it would be sublime.

 

Not wanting any of the passion

and pure rapture to subside,

only trusting that our love

would unequivocally preside.

 

In sync with the gentle rhythm

heart to heart as we embrace,

my mind delights as you tantalize

in your delicate soft lace.

 

Enamored with your silken skin

and warm sweet sighs

it’s you I desire most tonight,

as you melt into my eyes.

 

 

 

As Close As Close Can Be

 

I love your expectant gaze

into my gleaming eyes,

as you follow my every move.

Instantly hope increases

as love’s prospects soar,

our aspiring hearts approve.

 

Magnetically attracted, eagerly engaged,

our bodies committed,

wanting to occupy the same cozy space.

We’re riveted together, focused and attentive,

thoroughly absorbed

in one unending sweet embrace.

 

Playful ambitious lips and hands

enthralled by your body’s heat,

completely devoted to our love’s delight.

Hold me, just hold me close,

as close as close can be,

until we awaken at early morning’s light.
