Desert Secrets

We sit upon the soft desert sand, the ruby sun just setting.
Slowly we join hand in hand, our minds for the moment forgetting.
Leaving the cold world behind we watch in love and awe.
Feeling for the first time that there is no real flaw.
The beautious spectation crawls across the sky.
I place my hand upon your chest so timidly and shy.
Feeling the heartbeat beneith your shirt, the contact innocent and benign.
I rest my head against your shoulder, knowing that you're mine.
Now day creeps into night, and here we sit so still.
The two of us so silent, as the air grows chill.
