In a bubble bath for two
 

What mirror can face the heady vapours of love

Yet still give good upon reflection? Candlelight

Flickers in the still moist air, perfume tantalises

The senses and a dressing gown loosely tied slips

Silently to the floor in a bubble bath for two

Unclear images reach out, touch, retract, and

Touch again, no reason now to give way to

Distance when willing flesh waits upon willing

Flesh and tallow light heightens the thrill of love

Upon love in a bubble bath for two

Hasty riverlets rejoice under the spell of gravity

Unnoticed by eyes lost in a ravenous plunge of desire

Breath comes quickly now, soft music fills the air

The taste of love is on the tongue whetting the

Appetite of eager lips hungry for more in a bubble

Bath for two

Words fail, lips tremble, fingers more used to chores

Find pleasure in the simple act of cupping a face

They love, wherein whose eyes so many thoughts reside

'Worry not my love, there is no such word as no

In a bubble bath for two'
