aFTER dARK

Curled up on a couch for 1,

with your feet keeping warm between my legs

& my arm wrapped around your waist, and

locked in by your hand, my safety belt;

our bodies so close, locking away all space

with only our body heat keeping us warm...

just taking in the small moments together,

as the gloom from the television provides the

setting and mood to the evening, as the smooth,

soulful sounds, harmonize from this box, flowing

through the air to our ears, note by note, interacting

with us, making its way through our ears to our souls...

Hips begin to move as only they can when two bodies

are so close together... but this is tasteful.

Your head turns slightly to face me, but not all the way,

your smell is so nice and this is exactly how one

should feel after a long day... touch of music

& the loving touches of the one who touches your heart.

A kiss is shared and our night comes to an end,

as the remote kills the music, the television,

but the music's harmony is playing with in us

as we keep our arms lock as we walk to our room;

simple love, after dark...



Nights might come & go like this without being savored,

but its always the lil things that LOVE provides that

lock within our minds and hearts.
