chili simmering
outside leaves blanket the grass
Coltrane plays softly
my head rests on your shoulder
we sway then dip for a kiss
a few words spewing from my soul…

Tracing the constellations
on your bare shoulder

The moonlight spills through
my bedroom window, highlights
the curve of your spine
as you curl away from me
drifting softly into sleep

feeling young romance
even more intensely as
the body grows old

Ella softly sings
our feet bathed in the moonlight
you slip off my dress

Here goes the next round – have fun all! The challenge is posted here ramblingsfromamum so take a peek! Words are river, salt, and book.
patchwork quilt beneath
stretched out across the grass
just beyond mud
along the banks of an almost river
spine bent
the book lay forgotten
as your lips traveled
up mine
then tasting
the salty nape of my neck
beneath the ringlets
heat left there
