It’s just another
mundane Monday
sitting on the front porch
in the early evening.
You’re smoking your
vanilla scented cigar
as the swollen moon
rises over the swaying shadows.
Wisps of fragrant mist
waft up to mingle
with the clouds that
trail across the cosmic sky.
I know the stars are there, but
they play peek-a-boo
and hide
behind the trees,
behind the haze
behind the radiance of the moon
and I think;
those stars
are somehow
just like me…
You smile in your lazy way
a knowing look upon your face
as your fingers
curl around
a wayward tress.
You draw me closer
breathing in
and I feel creation
dance around my heart.
Feral eyes glow in the dark
Rivaling the mystic moon
and in your grasp
I’m helpless as the tide.
I shiver
as you stroke my arm
caress my back
fluently flowing
lower.
You swirl me
in the heat of your breath.
Envelop me
in your heady bouquet.
Kisses whispered
across my throat
create eddies
corkscrewing my core.
I mirror your radiance
reflecting silvered beams
that tangle in the shadows.
You tremble
and I realize
there is no time
…no place
I’d rather be.

This is a creative and sensual twist on the title, as well as the contest. I enjoyed reading it and you have great skill in your writing talents. It flowed! Welcome to the contest! I am so happy you entered. I might have to stop working so much overtime this week, so I can write a poem for my contest too!
Thanks for the sharing the beauty...love that vanilla cigar image!

really a pretty poem which draws on so many of the five senses and lets the reader actually feel to be part of the scene, Angel. and I understood the title in relation to this poem very well, and I think it was an excellent title choice myself. it felt homey and cozy as the boy next door...
the poem is a normal story, but your elaboration into the details really made it all seem fresh and new! excellent writing!

Odd and interesting although I have no idea why the title has any reference to the rest of the piece. So, yes, odd and weird and freaky but at least it's not illiterate. Thank buggery for that at least.
