Afterglow

Charles Fields II 1955 (Fort Bragg, NC)



After making love…
each time a blessing

Fresh emotional energies
still making waves

Breaking upon sensual shores

between you and i
still streaming

in the afterglow…

confessing,

where our minds go

our bodies know its truth...
and it shows

we play music...

each note, resounding

With joy between us making sparks,

kisses sweet

Still dancing in our open
mind’s/eyes/hearts


enhancing our perspectives of this existence
in flux with emotions …our driving focus

Stronger than any other thought or fear in tow
the cement of our will and passion,

mixed with stones of opportnity
our building blocks in our shared… reality

If carefully prepared with a loving mate

A place for us to live our dream…
build lasting realms an artistic concretion

Produced by the two of us

Putting finishing touches upon our visions

Pouring into our shared mold
forming a foundation of our truth

Uplifting thoughts of a beautiful  life

coming ever further together…

made with Love
