Popular Romantic Poems

We are sunbathing in the hammock
you are laying on top, using me as a mattress, reading me a story from your short stories book.
I am listening to them with closed eyes, cupping your breasts, my fingers circling, massaging your nipples.
A butterfly rests on your shoulder.

A cocaine moon's soliloquy touched by champagne
in passion's tar and midnight's shade in dark innuendoes
in our glass menagerie, auditioning for Romeo and Juliet
beneath the stars and the coke in the nose until it pass

we  are  standing  
bare  
skin  on  skin  
the  night  thick  around  us  

our  shadows  move  
dancing    
slowly
like  they’ve done  this  before  

you  press  against  me  
I  wrap  my  arms  around  you    
your  breath  stirs  the  air  
warm  
like something  half-whispered  
half-forgotten  

you  lift  the  camera  
click  
click  
the  flash  stings  
a  split-second  of  daylight  
before  the  dark  folds  back  in  

our  lips  meet   ...
