Afterglow

My lover and I
relax on soft alpaca fur
and silken pillows
before a warming fire....
She traces patterns on my chest,
I draw I Love You's on her arm.
We are warm, and worn, and sated....
Between soft, lazy kisses in varying locations
we talk of love
and life
and our future together....
We speak of children, choosing names,
often laughing, touching love....
Two sons she wants, fine lads,
perhaps a painter
and a poet
and a daughter
Just like her mother
an intellectual beauty
a musician or philosopher, perhaps....
And in time... Speech grows less
as we come to remember
that often the most beautiful words
are those which are not needed
the unspoken love
between us
for which no words suffice,
for which even a Pair of Poets
are at a loss
for
words
and she nuzzles my chest
as I stroke her heavy golden hair
softly, gently, slowly....

    Falling

      Asleep....
