Starlight

We had lain back in the meadow

Looking up to see the stars,

They were clustered all together

We were trying to find ours,

For we each had picked a single star

Up in the sky so high,

Then I rolled around to face you

And I found your naked thigh.

They were not among the brightest stars

Up in the sky that night,

But they shone on down upon us

With a pale and pinkish light,

And I wondered why the astral ray

Was pink, and nothing less,

When I realised, reflected was

The tint of naked flesh.

For your dress, it lay unbuttoned,

Was flung open, side to side,

There was nothing left uncovered,

Not your body, nor your pride,

You had never let me see your

Secret places there before,

But you whispered, ‘take me gently,

You may enter at the core.’

Now there wasn’t but a single inch

Of you but gave me bliss,

Not an inch of pulsing womanhood

I felt I couldn't kiss,

From your ankles to your calves and up

Along each silky thigh,

To that tiny sacred wilderness

That opened to the sky.

I have tasted balm from heaven

From your ankles to your breast,

For your love is all encompassing

I’d not expected less,

And I thank the lord for giving joy

When stars above us shine,

For giving life to womanhood,

And for his grand design.

I hope that was your wife. It flowed well to the crescendo of bodies joined and the waves receded as passion was spent.

This erotica commands the same level of interest as your thrillers.

Their is something of your writing that reminds me of Herman Melville. You seem like a mans man who happens to write beautiful poetry. I enjoyed reading this.
