THAT NIGHT

THAT NIGHT

Here I lie

In darkened room,

Still and quiet

My lonely tomb.

I remember so well

The girl in bloom,

Oh how we loved that night.

With laced allure

Loves young dream,

I kissed gently,

Savouring silken cream,

Shivering petals,

Before shuddering scream.

Oh we loved so long that night.

Her inhibitions and reserve

Were now gone,

As she straddled me

And we were one.

In joyous unison

Our bodies shone,

Oh we loved so hard that night.

She whispered

Her love was mine to keep,

As I proclaimed my joy

Spent so deep.

Held close in each others arms,

Safe in lovers sleep

Oh how I remember that night.

Time has gone

Like hourglass sand,

Lay here alone,

Without loves demand,

Remembering her,

With stroking hand.

I wish again for that wondrous night.
