We Drank Of Stolen Moments

By DescendingDown

Bathing in his Romanesque presence
Everything else had the volume turned down


I lay in a rumpled shyness
chin to my shoulder
His breath on my neck
painting standards


Do I dare to look up
To see the static lullaby
playing softly in his eyes
Vibrant waves of hazel & emerald


He is the way a stuttering innocence blushes
in the late spring nights that left me gasping for more
Bodies braided in the sexuality of intellect
& I left my heart tangled in ivory sheets

    a work replete with ephemeral beauty - this was truly stunning - in such a serene manor

    Sounds like one of those wonderful moments you want to replay over and over in your mind. A very calming read, thank you for sharing.

  • A former member wrote: Very serene, especially for an erotic piece. It doesn't make you feel uncomfortable or blush. Just calm, the calm you get while you're in the most perfect place you can be at the particular given moment. Sweet post. +tpu+
