The Moments After

"Poem about the precious moments after making love"

Font Size

My leg draped over your thigh

My hand rests on your chest

Shallow breaths

As quickened hearts’ rhythms

Return to a normal cadence

I’m in awe of your essence

Your fingertips trace my canvas

Intrinsic,

You’ve left an indelible imprint deep within

There are times, I can’t tell where you begin and I end

Magically,

Wrapped in a cocoon of honey

Until we fall asleep.
