Always One

Curled contently in a sleeping bag

Fireflies of sparks rising in the night

Your arms holding me so close

Making my world seem, oh, so right

The mountain night serenades us

Canyon breezes and a far off train

Crickets and coyotes join the song

Rustling leaves sound like rain

Relaxing in each other’s arms

We surrender to the peace

Not wanting sleep to come

Relishing this sweet release

Unbuttoning your flannel shirt

Laying my cheek upon your chest

I can feel the temperature rising

As you gently toy my breast

As warm pants get discarded

Tender kisses set the pace

I’m wet and its not just sweat

Reveling in this sweet embrace

The night has given rise

Your strength is in full bloom

I want to feel your weight

My body to consume

Becoming one with nature

Beneath the stars and drifting clouds

Our only clock the setting moon

Darkness our only shroud

Sleep comes and hours pass

Awakening to the morning dew

We know how to warm the chill

And with dawn’s fingers, we do
