The Moon Shone Through Her Window

She nestled her head like some moonlight sliver

on my shoulder.

As I plagiarized the warmth of the fading sun,

I pulled her against me; 

my lust rising like mercury.

Maneuvering magical motions in shadows,

the full moon traced its light on the floor

as we rolled on wool woven horses,

and the night slipped away without our noticing.

Author's Note

Mercury relates to a thermometer.

YES!
An amazingly warm and sensual work, Tim … so very entreating to the senses, and relatable in most wondrous ways … I have a blanket like this that has tall pines and canoes, but there is a certain bliss in the rocking of a canoe, too. ; )
Your phrasing, though metaphorical, dances vividly into my imagination as real as though it were me and she, and the choice of photo is impeccably matched to the poem's moment.

Thank you, My Talented Friend, for sharing this delightfully romantic treat! ⁓ Richard

I like the picture it goes so well with the piece, nice selection. Now onto the poem it is a very personal poem of a special moment in time that has not slipped from the memory. I especially enjoyed the last lines as it shows their moment last more that a moment but all night long.

[Relic]

Thank you Robert for your views.

Eloquent, subtle and gentle. Woven horses could also relate to the woven tapestry of dreams though.

I don't know why my reply to you didn't get through but apparently by the empty box, it didn't. I thank you very much.
