It is three a.m. and I lay sleeping

When the scent arouses me

A crisis at the power station

Your job’s to check and see

I didn’t hear the door

Nor did I hear the shower

As deep as I was sleeping

You’d been home an hour

When you entered the bedroom

Quiet as a mouse

I didn’t hear a sound

No stirring in the house

What stimulated my senses

And then awakened me

Was the smell of your cologne

Brought forth the woman in me

No longer was I tired

Or in another zone

I knew that you were near

And I was not alone

I reached across the bed

And gently stroked your skin

You turned over to face me

To hold me close again

I felt you pull me closer

Your lips pressed into mine

I kissed you oh so deeply

As slowly we entwined

Your body was inviting

Mine receptive too

There was nothing on my mind

Except for loving you

As fingers traced my neckline

And shivers rippled in

Lips nibbling all my curves

My head began to spin

Two people here together

Loves passion, legal lust

I knew this was the lover

I could always trust

To protect me and to love me

Take me to greater heights

Fulfill the need within me

For a century of nights

Bring to my knees

Make me cry out for more

I return the favor

You knew what lay in store

The joining of our bodies

Our spirits, souls and minds

As two become just one

Consummating ties that bind
