Stargazing

Close my eyes and lean my head back. I breath in, slow and deep, taking in as much of him as I could. Quiet laughter sounds around us, but together we are alone. I feel him as he turns to face me, his arms surround me in gentle embrace, protecting me from cold cold night. The sky long since had drawn over us a curtain of darkness, threatening nothing but to yield way to the stars as they peered through the wispy clouds.

I open my eyes to gaze at him, and he draws closer, his breath tantalizing me. I watch him watching me, reading me with pools behind which lie feelings and thoughts easily discerned by the way his eyes met mine. He edged closer, discarding his comfort for mine as we sit atop the rocky hill. He smiles at me as he closes in, his breath becoming the only air I breathed. Our faces slowly meet, tickling his nose with my lashes. Now I smile. He's quietly stroking my cheek with his fingers, his lips. Mine meet his, and we kiss softly. Now he pulls away, smiling once more. I readjust the butterflies in my all of me as he readjusts in his stony seat.

This time we're even closer, our arms entangled. My hand in his cool fingers. Sighing softly together, always together, we move in again. This time he kisses gently my face, my nose, my forehead. He furtively hoping I enjoy the attention as he enjoys giving it. I reach in for another kiss. Happiness dancing inside. Taking the moments, the hours, as they pass in swift pace. Trying to grasp that this moment was the briefest eternity we would ever know, it seeming to last forever, but ending so early. And soon, both knowing this night was over, we stand, hand in hand, and make our way down the windy dirt path.

Author's Note

Just a short piece. I haven't written anything very good in a while, but I'll post this one:)

very romantic, sensual and tastefull.

I like how different this felt, like the hybrid of a short story and a poem. Excellent work.

Stripped and but into cadence, you do realize this would be exceedingly fine stuff.
