Depths of Passion

We lie here in the dark, our breathing deep...

No deeper than the feelings just expressed.

With energies deplete, I could find sleep...

Instead, enthralled by beats beneath your chest.

***

It was a night of passion, love, and heat

That left us spent and on the edge of dreams...

But now, near morn, and wrapped up in this sheet,

I feel a different warmth - I'm left agleam.

***

My head grows heavy on your chest - I sigh

And whisper that, "I love you," to the dark...

With those soft words, a brush of lips on mine,

I fall to sleep with promise of that spark.

***

Our love has reached new depths with passion shown...

We have our lives to learn what can be known.
