that lovely afterward

that lovely afterward

A Poem by alan peter kelly

we rest among the tendrils
between intermix

and cooling colour
of what has just occurred

oasis after lusty thirst
satiated beyond words

where captured moment lingers
in that lovely afterward

and lipstick smear
a fingerprint

that tells us
we were here

Beautiful. Much more exquisite than a man lighting up a cigarette

a feeling that just burns itself into the particles of the universe...and the poet plays fisherman with his pen-net capturing the most alluring fish that steams with tropical shades of passion...

Oh, you always express so much in such a few amount of words, it is as if Hemingway has started writing poetry. The economy of words and the resonance of emotions and memories is spellbinding.
