Heaven in My Mind's Eye


In my mind's eye
I can be with you.
I can feel the warmth of your hand
as you gently stroke my cheek
The sensation of closeness
as I lace my fingers with yours
and think that this is already
more lovemaking than I've ever done.

In my mind's eye
I can see you.
I can see the searching in your eyes
as we gaze breathlessly at each other
There is passion mixed with pain
in the look you bring to me
and I think you've never been closer
to letting anyone see all the way inside.

In my mind's eye
I can kiss you.
I can feel the tentative touch
of lips that yearn to explore
Lips that linger, drink in each other,
then hunger and thirst for more
as our mouths, covered, seem to speak more
than volumes of words could express.

In my mind's eye
I can touch you.
I can feel the yielding warmth under my hands
as I caress your chest, your shoulders, your back
I can feel the tension, hear the intake of breath
as I slide my hand along your inner thigh
And as I gently, lovingly stroke the hardness of you
I feel the heat in it and see it in your eyes.

In my mind's eye
I can feel you.
I watch your hand as you caress my breast
and I look up at you in wondrous passion
I can feel your hands slide down my sides
over hips and thighs and back up to the central place
And as you gently, lovingly explore the warm crevices
I feel the heat and show you with my eyes.

In my mind's eye
I can be with you.
I can feel us coming close together
you sliding into me, me sliding onto you
And I can feel the wonder of the joining
as our gentle thrusts grow in passion
Our eyes meet in a statement of love and trust
as our lovemaking laces our souls together.

In my mind's eye
this is all possible.
In my deepest dreams, my most honest fantasies
I believe in this like I believe in nothing else
I've never believed in much of anything before
but I believe in this with everything I am
and I wonder how I ever could have been afraid
of something that is heaven in my mind's eye.
