Aria

Silken fingers flow into mine
tender hands caress my cheek
your mesmerising voice drifts across
my senses as raindrops cling
to summer’s ripened fruit.
You are my nectar sent to
saturate my tastes -
how  sweet this ecstasy
should one person be, so blessed?
Picture perfect  life’s moments
shared – together – we two.

Resting on this plateau of
perfection let me never
feel the earth beneath
my feet, for those mere mortals
could never once compete.
Your taste of ambrosial
perfume infuses my senses
even when you are gone.

Linger please I beg
stay an infinity longer.
Let this melody never end
my life’s aria played - to be played
for all eternity...
