Oldest Rictameter

Purring
contentedly
just being with my love
and basking in the afterglow
of our ascent to the peak of pleasure,
I now settle, spent and cozy,
in the crook of his arm
like a kitty -
purring.

Love it. A good poet has a way of handling intimate expression - a poor one will say, I sure do love you baybeee, and I don't mean maybe...You steal my heart away, I mean day after day. This one of yours shows great imagination. Love, daver
