Rising in silence

content illuminated by moonlight

She rises in silence

from the warmth of the bed

padding over to the window

watching the gentle sway

of branches in the night breeze

her fluid body

softly silhouetted

by the sheen

of the full moon

she smiles

blushing, satisfied

and sighs softly

contentedly

 

He watches in silence

from the warmth of the bed

the graceful movements

of her voluptuous body

in naked glory

the velvety illumination

of her flowing curves

silhouetted by

the fluid flush

of the beaming moon

he smiles

a satisfied smile of

sensually sated passion

I really like this. You use soft sounds beautifully to enhance your visual description, which gives the poem a really authentic feel. The sibilance makes the poem sexy and makes the reader think of passion long before you use the word "passion" in the last line, which is a clever structure and makes the poem satisfying to the reader. Excellent descriptive poem with elegant, understated word usage, which I really like. Well written, and I also like the two-part, two-point of view structure which gives the poem intimacy.
