Outside, world was changing. In full sunlight and sky of clear and open blue, snow melted fast in drip and patter song from roof and awn of home and limbs of the trees in wood.
Finding no book that moved their spirits, they wrote stories of their own—romances composed and bursts and pause of smiles, sign of see and love’s admire, then word’s return, inspiration again into whole telling of a dream. Then when complete, they offered page for other’s eyes and read: a gift of thought, a gift of hope, received in ready acceptance.
They read the other’s dream. Dream imprinted into mind where, there, it became their hoped own.
In finish of read, smile returned—a greater know, greater aware of their other’s hope and dream and wants. In understand and wanting, too, live of dreams became.
Again and again, through arc of the sun and melting of snow away, they wrote and read: sharing, giving, receiving—becoming—every essence of their dreams.

Pitter-patter of snow’s sun melt sounded faint through windows and walls, and in room’s still, she took deep breath that swelled her breasts—naked and open in spirit-way of home’s two-heart flames. Her back soft-arced. Chest further swelled in invite and unspoken offer.
Bow of his body, find of kiss, she breathed, slow and deep and full again, matching kiss’ press.
His take of her body, hook of her leg, hand’s hold and draw to tender of high and inner thigh; his lips to her neck smooth, full feel through together fall and give into the romance.
