The Lady on the Wall

Your eyelashes flutter soundlessly against my cheek,
your breath is warm on my neck, giving way to a quiver.
My head is tilted, my hair touches the small of my back
Your hands tangled in the mass of curls slide to my hips
and up my ribs to my shoulders, tracing my outline
with only fingertips.
Your mouth has yet to say my name,
but your eyes speak volumes
when you give me a glimpse of them
in the dim light from the hallway.

Fire is nothing compared the way you make me melt.
I watch our shadows make love
on the wall beside me.
And strangely I'm jealous because I have to share
your passion with the lady on the wall.
