For the first time in a long, long time
she felt beautiful in her eyes
her lips red from his kisses
arms warm from his embrace
long after he left
the bed still warm
but only
where he
lay
In Her Eyes (A Nonet)
For the first time in a long, long time
she felt beautiful in her eyes
her lips red from his kisses
arms warm from his embrace
long after he left
the bed still warm
but only
where he
lay
I love the warmth of emotion that develops and the sudden twist in the end, like self doubt returning.
Yup! But then he could also just be in the bathroom 😉
(The thought came to me at 4 in the morning for some reason when I was reading the poem again LOL)
