This Afterglow

(A song with no music)

the love we just made

lays crumpled on the floor

a pile of discarded clothes

in a trail from the door

soft lights and rumpled sheets

bear silent witness to our tryst

bathed in the sheen of the moment

we ride a wave of pure bliss

the fires in your eyes

they burn soft and slow

silently we hold each other

as they ignite this afterglow

the fires in our hearts

the flames that we both know

this cool fire that burns so hot

and ignites this afterglow

we lay there in a slow dance

to a tune that only we can hear

our love hums all around us

in your eye a silent tear

we lay in the waning warmth

our hearts beat tightly in our chests

we melt into each other slowly

between every sated breath

    Very visceral! I think you need another band to sing your love songs then :) I’m sure this poem will have its unique power with the music, but even without it it’s so good!
