Blue Velvet Above

Blue velvet
above satin sheets
our bodies between
where flesh doth meet,
Two hearts in love
that madly beat,
passionately drumming
through waves of heat.
Two souls entwined,
mellow and slick,
your love and mine
so heavy and thick;
I kiss the thoughts
going round my head
as I look at you
beside me
in bed…
such thoughts I have,
such longing for you;
sleep my love,
we're one
not two.

JWesley, I admire the tenderness, simplicity and rhythm of your poem. An intimate vignette. Thanks for it.
