Harmonies of Love

Dearest heart, have two lovers ever known such wondrous joys
As those with which our marriage bed has been so often blessed,
When words of love and passion in the dark night whispering,
The lonely hours between bedtime and dawn we have beguiled.
As together we rise to heights of pleasure yet unknown.

You body is an instrument upon which I summon
Dark music, new melodies of sweet seductive power,
Binding your flesh to mine with strange and thrilling potency,
Wild exotic harmonies that fill your enraptured mind,
Until every fibre of your soul vibrates in ecstasy.

Sometimes in the soft darkness, my darling, we like to play,
Seeking to amuse each other in wild erotic games,
Playful exchanges designed to arouse and titillate,
Such naughty fun for two, filled with laughter and hot desire,
Their consummation finding in all consuming fire.

Some nights you tease me, darling wife, by making me lie back,
Naked against the pillows, my wrists by cords gently bound,
While you seductively discard each garment one by one,
Until all that shields your full beauty from my aching sight
Are pretty yet inconsequential scraps of lace and silk.

Condemned for now to watch, I slowly grow to my full height
Inflamed by desire, my heart beating with ascending beat,
And a volcano starts to rumble deep within my loins,
Dormant no longer, but primed to erupt in liquid fire
When at last you relent, and enfold me in your embrace.

Oh most ardent love of my life, there is no greater bliss
Than to lose myself once more within your yielding body,
And find in those warm and velvety depths, exquisite joy,
Secure in the inchoate knowledge that as I am pierced,
The same ineffable pleasure carries you to heaven too.
