Floating in pools of expectation,

feeling your excitement,

hearing your voice,

low and melodious, gently teasing,

unfastening one button at a time,

and all the while, your liquid eyes

butterflies-inducing that mesmerise.

I shiver, quiver in readiness

as anticipation eats me up,

we kiss and tremble in each other’s arms.

Soon there will be nothing left to hide,

my emotions laid as bare

as newly exposed flesh

but deep down I always knew

that with you it would have to be

the sweetest surrender of all.
