A slivered moment

We made love--

      and I don't mean in the

      physical, body-within-body way,

but like how the sky diffuses into

itself: cool shades into warm hues--

          a constant frothing atmosphere.

 

The moon cracked and spilled

its' yolk--a creamy mess of entangled

lovers' sheets.

 

Three roses hung upside-down

from the window to dry.

 

Soft silver evaporates into deep rouge--

      a blend of two bodies,

      a scent of the moon.

"secret sun"
the silver does come from a supernova, after all
it should at least get credit in a love poem

but in all seriousness, it does have that post-coital calmness to it
you could probly derive a title based on that underlying feel you've created/described

It's amazing, just amazing, i could imagine it as a work of art, a superb painting, thanks to the vivid visual images you have given us all over the poem. Full of pathos, i see a mature conception of love and it's very intriguing, a very charming poem, great work =D

Milk of the moon.

Edges.

You love your moons! That usage of the moon as an egg is quite briliant for that reason 'Premature Love' springs to mind

the silver web of happiness where careless souls entangle and sharp sweet scents evoporate - quite beautiful Sivvy :)
