I had planned to take my time
To savor every sensation
To will myself into a hyper state of awareness
I wanted to remember every touch
Every taste
Every breath
Every beat of your heart

The door opens and all thoughts escape
Like the breath I held awaiting your arrival
The vision before me too much
Too powerful to feign nonchalance
My vision a blur of movement
As I touch you with my eyes
From every curl
To every curve
Waiting has never held such worth

In a wave of desire too strong to resist
You are in my arms
You are in my senses
You are in my blood
Every touch a warm shot of electricity
I am dizzy and unsteady under your pull
Torture has never been so deliciously sweet

Are you vulnerable in the peaceful quiet of your slumber?
Where does your mind go when it is still from the stresses of your day?
Do you dream in color?
Do you remember your dreams?
To see you lying there,
Eyes closed, relaxed and unguarded
In all your exposed beauty
Would be like looking at the sun too long.
Eyes closed, that vision would be all I could see
 
Wait. Yes, this is a lovely thought.
 
Sleep. Rest your hiding mighty heart,
Weary from holding your soul earthbound,
The weight of responsibility holds you like gravity
Rest your sentry standing poised to strike.
Close your eyes and slip away.
Let the calm take you like a lover
Quietly, soothing you into submission.
Sleep well beautiful one.
But wake soon.
The colors on my canvas
Are always more vibrant when you are in the painting
The textures more interesting
The strokes more titillating
Yes, sleep well angel full of fire
And wake to a brighter day
