I lay in the Afterglow Gloriously Intoxicated in the little Miracles You touched I didn't flinch Your voice came and Blessed my soul My hazel eyes Quickly beamed Like emerald Beacons Lighting up My heart Setting it ablaze Oh Yes! Old Warrior I longed for The simpler pleasures That your Hands did offer I won't forget the Way your fingers felt Touching my skin Like warm water That first flutter Felt As your arm wrapped Around my waist The shadows of two Being one As the sunset cast us over. "Trim the wick" You said After your finger Passed through Its tongue of orange Dipped in the Jasmine scent as your Callused fingers pinched the Dancing flame I felt. I felt! I was the most Beautiful woman in the world Before you Some men Leave Marks on the heart Some leave marks On the body But YOU Left Your mark upon My soul

Widow's Walk
I lay in the Afterglow Gloriously Intoxicated in the little Miracles You touched I didn't flinch Your voice came and Blessed my soul My hazel eyes Quickly beamed Like emerald Beacons Lighting up My heart Setting it ablaze Oh Yes! Old Warrior I longed for The simpler pleasures That your Hands did offer I won't forget the Way your fingers felt Touching my skin Like warm water That first flutter Felt As your arm wrapped Around my waist The shadows of two Being one As the sunset cast us over. "Trim the wick" You said After your finger Passed through Its tongue of orange Dipped in the Jasmine scent as your Callused fingers pinched the Dancing flame I felt. I felt! I was the most Beautiful woman in the world Before you Some men Leave Marks on the heart Some leave marks On the body But YOU Left Your mark upon My soul
