Your head on my shoulder, in love’s afterglow,
as we cling to each other and find a plateau
of emotions and feelings that words can’t explain.
Our quiet breathing is our love’s refrain.
Behind closed eyes, images I can’t ignore
of consuming passion that moments before
overwhelmed all my senses, kept thoughts at bay,
as we found completion in a physical way.
The taste of your skin intimately lingers
in remembered touches with lips and fingers.
The warmth of you enfolding my heated desire
as we came together in a blaze of fire.
Those moments have passed, but in memory keep,
as you lay here beside me and drift off to sleep.
An unbidden thought comes from out of the blue
as in darkness I whisper “I so love you…”

this is a very beautiful, loving & sensual poem that you've written. why be sorry, I think you did a wonderful job with the prompt.. I find that the sensual side is often move arousing than the erotic.. but that's me.. ok so maybe I'm weird.. what else is new..
Excellent job
good luck
