I was inspired to write this while taking a bath and waiting for my boyfriend to come home. I hope you like it!

~Together~
Steam from the bath filled her lungs
With lazy soothing heat.
Muscles sighing, caressed with warmth.
Her body, though not her mind, was quiet.
Upset with her solitude,
She waited still
Without him.
The cold bit at his small frame
Like relentless needles.
Breath was ragged, hanging in the air.
He clutched his weapon tighter,
Glared at his opponent and
Through the air
His sword sang.
Gently her hand raised from the water.
She watched it fall,
Creating ripples that pushed the soap
Farther and farther
From her body.
Like the wind, he moved, surging forward.
A streak of red
Bright against the whiteness of the snow
Closer and closer
To his target.
Softly waves lapped against her swollen belly.
Unwavering from a candle came
A stream of smoke.
Blade against blade, sparks flew and burned them slightly.
They moved together in a circle
Like feral wolves.
She ducked her head underwater.
With a roar, his blade connected.
She became liquid surrounded by warmth.
At peace until her body
Cried for breath.
The man didn't struggle, just dropped to the ground.
His sword returned to the sheath
With a clink.
Hot air rushed into her chest.
Still he had not come.
Her pretty face twisted with worry.
She gripped her stomach hard and thought
Of the life inside.
His breath was harsh as he stared
At the fallen man.
He might have had someone waiting too.
His thoughts were of his wife, then
They turned to his son.
It seemed he would always be waiting
For his father to return home.
Constantly disappointed,
Alone he's play in their spacious yard,
A desperate joyful boy.
It hurt that he would
Know her pain.
His hands would be callused very young
By the rough hilt of his large sword.
He would swing it recklessly.
Day after day, he'd practice alone,
A strong, hard budding man.
Behind him walking
The same path.
Together, they wept.
