Afterglow

- laying on your side
Gray cigarette smoke gently caressing
a crowning halo around the silhouette of your body
which just minutes before was creating a shadow on my world
deeper, firmer right into the very inside of me. 

I hold my breath while I look at you
Controlling my apprehension,
I slowly reach out and touch your skin on the middle of your back
The warmth of it surprises me as you half turn and smile
Making my heart leap and open with anticipation.

You look at me now, again…
And there goes my heart once more
I know you can hear it
It is in the way your eyes touch me
that I can finally feel this much sought after comfort. -

¡Ah! Sweet pain of hope how it chokes the past right out of my head.
