forevermore

photography by ilya rashap

was it his quiet intelligence drawing me further into his arms?

perhaps....

was it his discerning sensuality that seduced me?

possibly...

all that is certain is a constellation of butterflies

in varying shapes and sizes swam through my veins

revolving and then spinning like multicolored divas

repeatedly whispering his name in pitch perfect harmony

when i awakened from the remnants of my dream

the effervescence of stars danced upon my tongue

            that’s why

the pockets of my jeans are blissfully filled

with the magic of romantic moons

overflowing with the scent of his cologne on my pillow

cascading memories of the morning after the night before linger

                        right there…

tickling the spot on my hip that belongs to HIM

forevermore

dear Lydia... a constellation of butterflies ... revolving and then spinning like multicolored divas repeatedly whispering his name in pitch perfect harmony... The pockets of my jeans are blissfully filled with the magic of romantic moons... I can experience it all from the deck of a ship on the high seas of a dream. I hold these lines
as tangible proof that life is delectable.
truly, Pat

Descriptively romantic and deeply sensual in a lovely whimsical fashion. Who thought Levis could feel so sexy!
