So deep within my heart

When did that implant begin?

That haunting smile

On lips of such promise?

Or the subtle depths

Of those laughing dark brown eyes

So sensual when the time was right?

Maybe your mobility caught the eye  

The lilt and the sway.

Of hip and thigh.

Then add delicate gentility of touch

When fingers first intertwined.

While that lustrous raven black hair

Swayed with every move.

That early touch of lips on lips

Skin caressing skin.

This heart had absorbed your being

Had itself become entrapped

Long before total intimacy took us

To unexpected heights of joy,

And even now you still remain, so deep within my heart
