Full Moon Afterglow Poem by Thomas McKelvey

Her gaze is sublime,
as warm as porch lights,
inviting me into her embrace


Her head tilts
in that cute, affectionate way,
curious, with intimate questions in her eyes


Her lips curl and purse,
the prettiest smile I've ever seen,
softly whispering to my heart, which flutters like butterflies


I am a feather
she makes me breathless,
as my body feels so light in her essence


Her hands caress me,
softly, delicately, but sure,
fingers deftly dancing, effortlessly


She pulls me in,
grounding me in this moment,
a gentle reminder of her safe harbor


Her hand settles,
contented and serene,
quietly absorbing my heartbeat's ardor


Her smile is radiant,
I feel illuminated by her love,
bathing in the glow of her countenance
