In the Moonlight
by R. Leigh
In the moonlight
I lay here naked
Anticipating your touch
Your breath on the back
Of my neck
My skin awakens by the
Thought of your presence
As the bed moves under me
By the weight of
Your body
In this moment it is
Just the two of us
Lovers in every past life
Soulmates connecting in
This brief encounter
Maybe this way is better
Every minute full of desire
Because there will be
Very few chances for a
Fire that will not die
The intensity of your eyes
Keeps me lying here drawn
To you begging the universe
For this night to never end
But my prayers are distracted
By the sound of your voice
The soft, deep hum mixed with
Relaxed breaths transforming
Vowels and consonants into
Phonetic aphrodesiacs
I thought about writing
My name in your chest
With my fingers
Running my tongue over
Your tribal markings
While I watched your
Lips move.
Please keep talking
And Please let’s
Do this again are
Attached to the end
Of my prayers
This…this…
This flower of affection
Planted as a seed in an
Early 20’s car ride from
School to Newark
One hundred miles
Of stories, laughter and
Smiles watered in the
Summers by the occasional
Dutch visitations only
Now to flourish when
Mature nerves have the
Courage to surface
Leading to glorious
Glistening, post-sex sweat
Afterglow
The firmness of your embrace
Around my waist and
The warmth of our bodies
Makes me drowsy
But I fight sleep
Struggle to keep my
Eyes open tattooing
On my mind every detail
Of the moment I spent
In the moonlight
Divinely honored to be
Lying naked next to
You.
