Waking dreams

there is a moment in time    
between waking and dreaming
as souls wander in the delirium of desire  
and deeply sensual yearning  
as hands caress, arousing  
rounded hips, bellies and breasts  
seeking softness and gentle yielding  
in lingering perfume and scents  
that deepens the dreaming  
of the slow undulating rhythms  
an erotic metronome of lust  
bodies swaying, achingly enthralled  
caressing hidden imperfections  
your intimate soul laid bare  
the perfect flaws of beauty revealed  
all your carnal secrets known  
as shyness turns to playful lust  
in the waking dreams of desire
