*****
Crimson waves cover the pillow
A peaceful smile is on her face
Snuggling into his embrace
From her milky skin
Littered with freckles
To amber eyes
Filled with fiery passion
He loves everything about her
She’s the light to his darkness
Fire melting the ice
Of his past, of his future
He needs her more than air
She’s forbidden
She’s his soul mate
No one approves
Of his intentions, they can’t be sure
But no one knows
What he’s like around her
How he’s a better person
Because she offers him peace
She gives him something to hang on to
Thinking of her can save him
She awakes from slumber
After a night of sated love
Amber melts into gray
He doesn’t have anything to say
She smiles at him
Trails kisses down his jaw
As long as they’re together
Alone in his bed
Everything is perfect
In silence, nothing goes unsaid.
