unforgotten stairway

 


where you last swept me

off my feet

 

your breath

fanning me tender, fanning me light

 

drowsy as my fingers linger

tracing your smile

 

the throb of promise

at sunrise

 

on the rose of my lips

holds memory of the curve of your kiss

    I…… I think I need to get glass of ice water to cool off after reading! Sensual, poetic beauty - I’m speechless.

    All of that happened on a stairway! Very sensual, Jennifer, and I love how the curve of the stairway is reflected in the curve of the kiss.
