In The Afterglow


you caress me with a reverence
I have never known, while
your every whisper holds
a thousand unspoken nuances

as softly uttered words take us
on a journey of discovery,
we seek comfort in
the warmth of our sighs

there is beauty in the joy
that flows between us,
as intangible feelings 
surround graceful movement

in that moment when the afterglow
of our lovemaking descends upon us,
I am in awe of the intensity
with which you give yourself to me

so many years I searched until
I found my destiny...or it found me,
you are my lover and my friend
what more could I ask?

    ..."as softly uttered words take us on a journey of discovery, we seek comfort in the warmth of our sighs..." and "there is beauty in the joy that flows between us" and "you are my lover and my friend, what more could I ask?"...You express in so serene a way the give and take of real love-making...love that creates and brings life...Bless you...Peace, Rhonda

    You really do have a unique way of putting such thought and feeling inside a poem. I know you will do well in the contest because you are such a gifted poet, but you really did write such a very special poem.
