We Lay In The Dark (MILDLY Suggestive)

by Ken Harnisch

Be still, love

The ragged sighs

And heated coils

Of passion

Have had their say

And now we lay in the dark

As in days of old

Wondering

If this is our nirvana

Or its epitaph

 

I would smoke

In the darkness

And ponder, if I smoked

And you would

Rise and close

The bathroom door

While I cocked an ear

To wonder

What song that is

You hum

Behind the door

*softly smiling*.... Uuuummmmmmmmm how well you paint the scene! It is good to see the passion begin to flow once more from your pen!

I love how you express intensity in a casual way...there is presence in your writing and there is something that begs you to read and reread this and so I do...
