dVerse Poets

***

I stay in the garden under the star filled night’s canopy. Blushing now, even alone, I’m still feeling your furtive touch. It was brief, but reverberated through my body, my nerves first shy, then growing warmer, and yielding. As brief as it was, the look on your face revealed more desire than perhaps you should have shown. I too felt it, the pull between us, as I accepted your kiss on my neck. Sitting here now, still too fevered to go inside to my bed, the cool breeze helped. The moon had observed our reckless behavior and will keep our secrets. When I see you tomorrow surrounded by others, remember to keep your distance, for “you cannot pluck moonlight to bring in your pocket!”

  1. Sounds like she enjoyed what happened but is not ready to give up control just yet. It makes me wonder whether there is a complicating factor to these two being together beyond that. Good write, with subtlety, Cheryl.
