To lie upon our silken bed
your body cradles mine,
bathed in dappled moonlight
imbibing sweet red wine.
To lie here in the Afterglow
and listen to our hearts,
passions slowly ebbing
as fever pitch departs.
Embraced within our loving
all senses at their height,
our lips not quite so fervent
but awash with sheer delight.
Soft words of affirmation
whispered on the breeze,
eyelids closed in slumber
sweetest kisses tease.
To settle down together
spooning in our bed,
the Afterglow subsiding
as you kiss my sleepy head.
To waken in the morning
and feel your skin on mine,
remember night time passions,
the moonlight and the wine.
