One Starlit Night

It was a night of whispered words of love.
His voice caressed me like a romantic song
in the rich tones of an erotic melody
that made me tremble at his gentle touch.
I shall never forget that magical night...
Our eyes bright with moonbeams and love.

Hand in hand, we sat on my back porch.
I inhaled his scent as our lips met
Bodies close; a single shadow in the moonlight
Love's flames had been kindled
Witnessed by a myriad of dancing stars above

I thirsted for his kisses as flowers seek the dew
He awakened all my sleeping senses
when he brushed aside my tears of pleasure.
This boy, whose glances dispelled my fears,
appears in my dreams as a sweet memory
that comes unbidden to make my heart quicken.

First love holds a special place in my heart.
I can still feel my cheeks blush 
when I remember the warmth of his touch.
On full moon nights, when stars are aglitter,
a secret smile plays across my lips.
