Night Music.

He lay
on the mattress.
Red with tears shed
for memories never made,
his eyes puffed shut
from exertion.

He stroked
the body next to him,
cool to his touch,
soothing with curvaceously
sensuous beauty
that satisfied.

He rose
unseeing,
took her in his embrace
wrapped his lips around her
stroked her with his tongue
and breathed life within.

He swayed
slowly
in lacework moonlight shadows
caressing with tender touch
arousing emotional intensity
and night music.

Hi there, Wolfsax...an appropriate name for this particular poem;-) 'Lacework moonlight shadows...' like that very much. A 'little night music' never did go amiss. Enjoyed. Tina

Hi there Tina, Many thanks

Hi there Tina, Many thanks for your kind comments and for highlighting that line, which I too love. You're also spot on with the comment about my name. The story is that I come from Warrington originally and a lifelong fan of Warrington Wolves rugby league team, hence the 'wolf'. I also used to play alto sax until my lungs got scarred by MRSA so this is very much an ode to a lost love. All best wishes Dave Aim for the stars then if you fail you might still land on the moon, and that's not a bad second best.

Hi again, Dave. Sorry to hear about you and your sax. I know exactly how you must feel. My daughter used to play the cornet and after she was diagnosed with a rare form of cancer, she had to have her facial nerve removed, which sadly, speaks for itself. I now have her 'silver' cornet and can still hear her playing it, sometimes. Best wishes to you, indeed. Tina

I too can feel for you and
