Full Moon Afterglow
Her gaze is sublime,
as warm as porch lights,
inviting me into her embrace
Her head tilts
in that cute, affectionate way,
curious, with intimate questions in her eyes
Her lips curl and purse,
the prettiest smile I’ve ever seen,
softly whispering to my heart, which flutters like butterflies
I am a feather
she makes me breathless,
as my body feels so light in her essence
Her hands caress me,
softly, delicately, but sure,
fingers deftly dancing, effortlessly
She pulls me in,
grounding me in this moment,
a gentle reminder of her safe harbor
Her hand settles,
contented and serene,
quietly absorbing my heartbeat's ardor
Her smile is radiant,
I feel illuminated by her love,
bathing in the glow of her countenance
About this poem
I was inspired while driving to work. I saw the warm, inviting glow of porch lights on the houses I passed. I reflected on the sense of acceptance and kindness that the sight invoked, not dissimilar to the gaze of a lover. I jotted this down at work.
