Fulfilled

Laying on her bed, nude and vulnerable
I allowed her to do this, for her and for me
I cannot see
she has taken my eyes for a time
but they will be returned
a new toy- what is that?
doesn't matter, she knows
that I enjoy this as well
"Are you thirsty?"
"A little."
Silence
what's that new thing,
that new scent?
Dare I pray
dare I hope
dare I believe
that after all these long years
one of my wishes
one of my dreams will be?
the scent, stronger- she is silent
I cannot hear her
the wind from her movement tells me
she is closing the distance
though it isn't much, I know
something brushes my hair-
a hand holds my head, raising it
my lips brush skin
and
sweetness
my body convulses
sweetness
finer than any wine
sweetness
the room falls away
sweetness
the bed falls away
sweetness
I stay with her, but I fall away
sweetness
I never knew that liquid fire would be so
Sweetness
All that has gone before
sweetness
is a distant memory, already faded
sweetness
there is only the
sweetness
