Notes About The Poem

Listen to poem:

Swagger Under Moonlight

she remembers his scent
his hands his eyes his breath
and the lights down low

the unfaltering way he held her
as they danced cheek to cheek
bodies pressed against each other
swaying as one to some bluesy melody
grinding away the pulse of loneliness
in the sultry heat of midnight

she remembers his scent
the lights down low
his smile his kiss his touch
