If I could take this moment now,

And put it in my pocket.

To cherish once more should love escape

How might I then review it?

Could I catch again that sky above,

As ‘bible black and starless’ as Dylan’s ever was,

Creating the deep, deep, dark that

Could not hide the blanket on the terrace

Where you lay, legs and arms out wide,

On offer to the sky? To the world? No,

Only to me. No darkness could hide

Your lustrous eyes, beacons of your desire

Nor could blackness shut out that glow

Of delectable skin, waiting to take my kisses,

My tongue, my fingers, eager to pleasure

Every inch, every crease, every succulent groove,

Of your body, your tremors,

Your cries of joy delighted me

But you wouldn’t take entry until you had

Favoured me, and those favours were sublime.

Tongue, teeth and fingertips, traced my body

You gave me your devil’s smile before

Your tongue bestowed an honour

To my throbbing hardness,  

Your lips closed, so lovingly, around it

But we both had greater needs

Within seconds I was inside you, closer than

A brace and bit, as we sought to give and take,

And heaved our passion in the night until

My seed mixed with your warm juices,

And our grunts, squeals, and groans

Of joint orgasm threatened

The silence of the night,

As they rose to challenge that black, black sky.

Now, this moment, I’m crouched here by your side

In this afterglow, you sleep, in wondrous beauty,

Legs, half turned and hiding

That focus of your needs, my desire, both pacified.

My fingers gift me with your lingering aroma,

My lips retain your subtle taste.

My pocket though, is empty.

This moment was never safe there,

Not the blackness of sky, not the beauty of you

Not this calm beyond the storm we’ve just shared.

Love could not escape so easily

The pocket was only temporary

All are securely captured for eternity,

Forever in my heart.
