(I posted this a month ago - in 'Adult' [8/9/00] - but since in my not so humble opinion - it could 'pass' here - and 'kissing you softly' succeeded I wanted to see if those who like the latter would like the former) Each moment has its value Be it preamble, or afterglow Some focus on the coup de grace It's the glow for me I know Not to shorten any one For I too love them all There's no dance its equal That makes me feel ten feet tall Yet in the glow that follows There's a magic unsurpassed After the pant's subsiding When breathing's no longer fast That's the period that I treasure When we're snuggled side by side And I start in memorizing And my fingers once more can glide I memorize with my eyes true But also with gentlest touch Each hollow and soft indentation The roundness' I love so much The downy smoothness of each cheek The nose bridge dividing the eyes The soft brushes of your eyelids Caressing fingers, creating sighs A feather's touch grazing shell ears Feeling pulse quicken below your ear You may not sleep 'fore I finish Sleep needed soon or we'll be drear Yet like Ali Baba in cave of thieves How I feel gazing at your treasure Must count every jewel, feel every silk Each bolt examined and measured Each toe gets its value instep and arch Calves get tongue measures too Neglecting no knee, thighs caressed by cheeks Sometimes thighs clamp me like glue Lest one think I am silent doing this They're wrong as we share conversation But vocal chords fail when in treasures deep Guttural sounds known in each nation ~Why not seize the pleasure at once? How often is happiness destroyed by preparation, foolish preparation? ~ Jane Austen ~ wilfredyeats@hotmail.com |

Bill--that kind of afterglow sounds a little like foreplay...lovely love scene you paint. [This message has been edited by Martie (edited 09-09-2000).] |

Whisper- Memories are made of this eh? - sounds like the title of a song - I'm old enough to remember - afterplay - afterglow - or simply memories - My kind or memorization - ~S~ thank you~Life is a romantic business, but you have to make the romance. ~ Oliver Wendell Holmes ~ wilfredyeats@hotmail.com |

Whenever I fell eroticky In a sexual sort of way I turn to Wilfred’s poetry To kind of make my day He says it is the aftermath Martie says that it’s foreplay Before or after, I only know It is well the “play of the day” One more for a hat trick, sir Liz |
