First Embrace

What happened next from "A Pondering Moon"

  

The sand was warm between their toes
As they held on to each other...

Not wanting this first embrace to ever end

As their lips explored the unknown taste of something new
Until their knees grew weary and they fell together to the beach

                And the pondering moon hung low.

Hands that once clung now began to explore
To touch where each had only dreamed of

Haste was the order in which buttons were undone
And clothes that bound were quickly shed
That they could feel the exquisite connection they knew had always existed

Passions controlled their every move
Which felt as natural as the waves that moved the sands

Eager lips found her swelling breasts
Soft hands found the strength of the man she so desired

                And a tender moan escaped her smile

This was what they had both waited for

                And as she guided him in to her warmth
                                Their lips met again

With a promise under the pondering moon

                           to never part....

Definitely ramped up the sexuality here, but done with beautiful description that imparts their eagerness to be together and complete. Despite the more explicit feeling, there is still a feel of relaxing into this moment rather than rushing through it.

This was absolutely beautiful and so very dream like. It was soft and tender, warm and sensual. Everything that love should be I found in your poem today.

I've been enjoying your poetry for at least five years now, and you still take my breath away. What makes this even more special is that I know the man behind these soft, sensual words...and it is your beautiful heart that shines in every single word, in every gorgeous line..

Your poem is stunning.. I loved it and I love you.

Think I'd call this an earthquake of emotion: love at its most beautiful and true - finder's keepers sort of love.. who wouldn't want to feel like this,, but only you can express words from your own heart. Tis silky special.

it is a beautifully romantic continuation to the moon piece.. the flow is lovely and emotion and imagery nicely done.. the ending is my favorite.. sometimes when you meet someone and you get to know them before the intimacy, the bond.. the knowing... the connection intensifies that bliss.. that heat.. that desire.. and you just "know"... the moment when it finally does happen is magical and those promises feel like our happy ever after.. *sigh*.. blame it on the hopeless romantic in me, but I still believe it is possible. well done..

it says read more, and I can't! It won't let me.
Trace, dreaming is good. So my friend, dream on...

What an amazing compliment. You honor me with such praise.
I actually have written a novel that was posted here before but it was pretty racy.
(Very adult and titillating)

Thank you for reading my work.

well, I own a mini oxygen tank so anytime you wish to repost it I am ready! lol Trace, you seem like a very nice person so I say this...you are one of the most humble writers I have ever come across and it often seems that you are clueless to your amazing talent. take care Mr Poet -- Mark

[Poetic Beauty]

Beautiful imagery of the moon and sand.

[Trace]

Thank you for your wonderful compliments on this little quickie.

This flows effortlessly from the first poem. A romantic and sensual write. A minor suggestion, I might switch "to" for on in the line "to the beach", but as always, poetic license is yours.:)

[Trace]

It is always a pleasure to read your wonderful comments and suggestions.
You are very helpful and intuitive.
