The glory before me
by Sommer
Copyright - 2000: Paul Sommer, All Rights Reserved

Steam from the shower fills the room with an intimate heat;
Your body, bare and beautiful, is an unplanned invitation;
Droplets of water cling to it desperately, then trail over your curves;
Your silhouette calls my name, as dreamy echoes fill my head;
I pause and absorb this wonderful glory, you before me;
My hands reach out to express my love;
My lips seek your tenderness within;
Warm water flows over us both;
And you smile, opening up a like wild flower after needed rain;
Oh, how I live for your sweet soul.
