In the Afterglow

Mmmm, no explanations needed ...


In the Afterglow

Lying in bed,
holding off reality,
I’m caught
in the cozy place
between dream
and fantasy.
Heart slowing
back to a walk,
I’m wondering,
does it get any better
than this?
A lingering taste,
man-woman scent
hovering in the air,
is it any wonder
the mind’s eye
is still open,
watching what is past?
How astonishing,
the way the brain
lays a path
to a woman’s senses
so they remain
heightened and alive,
though the moment is
only a sweet memory.
His body,
all warm and sensual,
enfolds mine
as he sleep-sighs
next to me
in the afterglow.

your work is so hyper-tensile and strong, CJ, whilst being couched in alluring sensual and pliable sensitivity. Have to say, the delicacy in these phrases brings out the animal in me! :)) TY K xx

Soft and magnifiscent. I don't think colors, smells, taste or touch are anymore heightened than at those moments. Bliss is the perfect word to describe the abundance of feeling in this poem.
Love,
Susan

Lying in bed, holding off reality,
I’m caught in the cozy place
between dream and fantasy...I love how "Afterglow" starts of shining these lines, and yes, isn't it funny how a women's senses are so much more heightened after the fact, "Afterglow"
Excellent write~
Love and Peace~

Someone said, 'The mind is the largest erogenous zone in the body'. Perhaps that would apply to this wonderfully written poem. Yes? As always, you're more adult fare has an alluring glow.(couldn't help myself either)lol
