          Afterlust
          daybreak hinting around the skylight
          CDs blasting serene melodies
          feeling giddy in the Morningafter
          as the cold arranges what I think
          cozy-shimmy down in my four-poster
          empty now except for me
          dozy with your taste in my mouth
          & the exquisite commotion that you leave
          shadowprints my body over, waning warm spots in my bed
          must leave the covers the way they tangled
          when, with watch advice, you shyly fled
          mind slipping easy with the flu of you
          fever burning up my eyes and lips and fingertips
          dizzy stars around my head --
          me sinking in my stupid grin
          vain attempts to sleep to dream about you
          as I giggle and push the pillow in

Excellent Grandiloquent! Such a smooth read from thought to wonderful thought ... I could picture this scene perfectly as she flitted about in afterglow, wonderful!  

Best wishes,

grandiloquent,
it was grand and it was eloquent, with vivid imagery to boot. I loved it

Billy,
you keep me grounded when silly fear/impatience wind into my doubts. Thank you for your persistance and generous compliments.

SpitFire,
*grins* Well, I guess that means you liked it   And you're going to do further research? woohoo!

Kit,
Thank You. Hmm, sounds like it would've been a lovely experience to have sorted through your mind as you read this. With that sort of mind's eye, I'd love to see your interpretation of a similiar scenario...
do you have anything posted I can seek out?

doreen,
Word from you is such high praise... gollygoshgeesthanks *blushes*

Martie,
Wow, this went all the way to your lips?  
I'll take that as a compliment. Thank you for reading!

Kethry,
I can hardly come up with a reply quite so flattering and concise as yours... A few timid words of gratitude: I'm so glad you enjoyed it; thank you for taking the time to let me know you did.

p.s. I don't know that I would call anything I've ever written grand or eloquent, but, heavens, you made my day by saying so!
