Under The Stars

They lay there, looking up at the star filled sky Holding onto each other as if they were afraid the other may vanish in a dream Hand in hand, legs entwined, skin to skin- almost as one

The sunset over the lake had been so beautiful and still you could almost hear it. The passion they felt was so intense that neither one could seem to contain it And at the same time holding onto it slowly letting it seep out into the other ever so slowly as they made such sweet tender Love under a blanket of stars in the autumn sky.

The breeze was cool over their skin drying the beads of warm sweat that lingered from their most intimate encounter A shiver ran through them both simultaneously It was as though they were one flesh sharing the same feelings and sensations

Suddenly a bird outside the window startled her awake She lay there a moment it was so real, she felt the sweat and the chill- was it a dream, a vision or a memory?
