Your Hand Resting on my Thigh, Now

Rate: 37 Flag

After, in the fertile darkness of the room,

a sheet slathered over our lower

legs, your hand, its weight measuring out

our intimate dreams, rests on my thigh, now.

Your palm arcs slightly where

my thigh curves inward. My hand

reaches down to yours, quietly

patting your wrist, then a soft tangle

of fingers. Your sated sigh, full in its breadth

and width, sounds like a hum. Your breath moves

through your hand to my thigh, before you exhale

into the night. Your heart and breath, harbor there

in your hand, resting on my thigh, now.

Again I say, welcome back, oh so welcome back. That last bit, where you concentrate heart and breath into the hand, is just lovely. I could be made to believe that there is a point to closeness, after all.
Thanks, DB. Much appreciated.

Those after moments, you know? Something about those....
Shooweee....niiiiice.... :)
A beautiful, touching poem. So incredibly descriptive, drawing me into a shared appreciation for the afterglow and intimacy.

Welcome back, WUS! Your poems have been missed. {{{R}}}
"Your breath moves through your hand..."

Rated for synchronized connectivity.
Sometimes it's the quiet moments that speak the loudest. I understand.
connection, lovely WUS...
"Your sated sigh..." It is a sound that one aches to hear, as it touches the heart like nothing else. So much spoken.

Beautiful poem, beautiful lady.
Sooooo nice. Hand resting on thigh lightly is one of the best gestures between lovers.
Dang it, I wish I could respond to you all right now. I have to write yet another memo on the HCR/ACA law. How many millions of these memos will I write before 2014?

Later, I promise. Thanks, though, to each of you for your kind messages. I love that you read here.

xo
dang, reading this at work...distracting
reading this during a stretch of celibacy...disheartening and exhilarating at the same time... powerful stuff.
Thank you.

I had missed you and just found you are back. Welcome, oh so welcome!
thanks, j lynne. Sweet of you to visit. A good Friday to you.

RARobertsJr, thank you. That's how it feels to me, too. Those are moments that don't happen anywhere else.

awwww, Rod. Thank you. You're a sweet guy.

hey, catch-22, thanks! I swear I can see that happen, and was hopeful it cold work in a poem. I'm so glad it did.

patricia k, yes. Those are indeed the moments, aren't they? Thank you.

rita, thank you. Always, thank you.

This is lovely! You captured that entire feeling so very well!
Where have you been? You are missed!
Thank you, OM. Always love to see you here. I wrote this one exactly three months ago. It's nice to see it on the screen today.

greenheron, thank you for reading. And yes, I agree. It is a lovely gesture.

amfwyw, sigh.... back at ya. Thanks.

BB, sorry to distract. ha. Happy weekend up there in the North.

Thanks, Vanessa, thank you so much. I'm happy to be welcomed back. Feels good.

thank you, micalpeace. I like this one too, must admit.

ladyfarmerjed, awwwwww, thank you. It's once of those feelings that seems to be universal, right? That lovely moment in time. Where have I been, hmmmm.... I'll get back to you on that. But, I'm here now. As much as I can be. xo
We can feel the closeness of hand and heart. Lovely writing.
This is fantastic. Very erotic and not in your face. Well played.
Thank you, Lea. I appreciate your words.

ame i, thank you! Glad you love it.

Thank you, Irania. Your visit is a nice surprise.
after moments indeed. And while we're talking about it - let's have some sunshine in that avatar pic. :-) xo
awwwww, PS 101, thanks. I appreciate the rate and the longing.

grif, sunshine is coming. In August. Promise. xo back to you. How's the ocean this summer, btw.
You capture a moment so well. R
Hey, Trudge, thanks. I appreciate the read, and the R.
Always enjoy your close-up lens. And I'm very glad you are posting again.
I'm glad you back. lovely poem.r
Thank you Harriet Why and hugs, me. Your visits are much appreciated.

Also, thanks for the kind welcome. Feels nice tonight.
So sweet and sensual!
You've captured that wonderful feeling of contentedness, fulfillment, satisfaction. Just lovely.
This is so lovely and evocative. sigh*
Oh, this is lovely. It captures the arc of an eternal moment beautifully.
"Your sated sigh" - great line. really liked this moment you created.
A hum? Purring, I think. Anyway, that's what I'm doing right now . . .
you. back here. good. very good.
I've read this so many times, and struggle to find the right words. You paint memories and moments so, so well. And bittersweet. But perhaps that part is just me. Liek the keyboard is your canvas and you so deftly paint pictures on our minds with keystrokes. I think of you often...
Ah, the rest we long for. R of course. Lovely.
I hope this was as good for you as it was for me.
D . . A . .M . .N! And I'm alone here!

One of the most beautiful things I've ever read ...

" fertile darkness " - where we all began ... love, sated, sigh ...
