I stood there welcoming night, <br />as it came to call. <br />A smile curled my lips, <br />as slowly the lights went out. <br />The moon shone down on us, <br />its light embracing our naked form <br />and the contours there. <br />We embraced each other <br />within the long grass, <br />our bodies locked together <br />within passion’s embrace. <br />Her throaty murmurs <br />were lost to the wind <br />and only the small creatures of the night <br />witnessed our consuming passion, <br />as we reached beyond the moon <br />to some far-flung stars. <br />When ours passions finally overwhelmed us, <br />we lay in each other’s arms, <br />spent and exhausted, <br />waiting for the morning sun. <br /> <br /> <br />(1 July 2007)<br /><br />David Harris<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/within-passion-s-embrace/
