Love Song Poem by Toni Atchison

Somewhere in the realm of candle,
the light strikes a beam from your eyes.
A lover's voice calls a name so soft,
hands touch warm cheeks and thighs.
Lips coax sighs in voices tempered
by desires of skin to skin in cotton sheets,
a unified movement like ocean waves.
Scent of love and sweat perfumes the air,
tasted in gasps and moans so sweet.
Bodies intertwined in an ageless dance,
the cycle that renews us forever.
