A Sunday Afternoon Poem

WINTER'S  LOVE

While halfway sleeping and waking
     I feel your sensual caress
Your vibrations gently sweeping my face
     with the world's finest lace
So magically fine is your makeup
     so limited our time
Upon yours touching mine
     there's melting
     beyond ours to define
And, in a brief moment you've changed
     leaving your essence upon me
Your solid body dissolving
     from heat of our mystical lovemaking
Leaving my skin - oh so moist
     I become chilled as you leave
Oh the things we come to know
     when there is an open bedside window
     admitting the wind-driven snow

~ William Waterway
