Alone
In the afterglow
Lying here
In our memories
Reminiscing
How it felt to be
An inspiration
For your
Creative fingertips
How I melted
Like soft clay
In the hands
Of a dedicated sculptor
As you made me
Your secret masterpiece
And yours alone
I still am
In the afterglow
Of our love
Reminiscing
How it felt
To unfold you
With my love
One layer at a time
How my hopeful lips
Stole your breath
And made it ours
In the kiss
Of truths
And expectations
And still tonight
I breathe our love
When I escape to the place
Where yesterday’s spark
Still flames
Where unwritten poems
Sensuously moan
Where you stay
With me
Unforgettable
In the afterglow

“As you made me

You paint with all the great images, layering your words to create different shapes and colors, which are then left vividly dancing in the corners of the mind, long after the page is turned and the image is lost visually. I completely love that about your writing.
