.
Calm quietude
After we
Released our storm.
Legs entwined
And smiling...
"Honey keep me warm."
.
We are two
Lazy turtles
Basking in Love's hot sands.
Our thoughts are suspended
Like untensioned rubber bands.
.
Gentle kisses
Caressing touch...
I cannot conjure
The words to say how
I Love you so much.
.
Our speech for now
Has changed...
Touches are sentences
Smiles are words;
Reality is rearranged.
.
Passion has
Yielded to wonder.
A blissful quiet ensues
Where moments before
There was lightning and thunder.
.
We are
Love's Thanksgiving
With memories
New and settling
As Winter's first
Delicate snow.
.
Aye, there isn't
A warmer place
To be
Than wrapped in your arms
For eternity!
.
You can have Bermuda
And fit my desire
For Cancun in a spoon.
There's one place I'd
Much rather go...
To be with you
In our afterglow.
