Sweetness

Sweetness in your smile
In a reflected light
Beneath shadows
of a fantasy come true

You with me
In a quiet place, resting
In peace with the world
Planning togetherness

Sweetness in love
From the first glance
Loving each other
Separate lives, joined now

A lovers pact
In a time of passion
To live together
In harmony
of intellect

Intimacy in touch
Bonded, entangled
In caring rapture
Two in likeness
Loving intensely

Sweetness in you
In us, sweet taste
Of a caress, a kiss
We are connected
Despite the differences

Sweetness, the key
The pleasure
In leisure lying, enjoying
Sweetness enduring
In loves alluring
