I am now a yesterday man
This was never in my plan
What started years ago
Has ended up with this afterglow.

Nectar

Bubbly bee 
   came, went,

      sipped nectar 
         of the moment;

         afternoon afterglow 
            sweet, evanescent!

Is knowing what's known
enough, or must you know it
beyond the pretense
to feelings and perception ~
with bright light glow in its shine

Historical Afterglow

Sun spots glow on saucer eyes
thrown as green disks to the sea~

Fall gently, so gently on mirroring waves
of reflections I once thought were me.

beams flood canopy
festival of light parades
translucent beams shroud
warmed faces brimming with smiles
tanners bathe in afterglow

Epigram in swift show
Sunshine from deeper depths
Grooves that spark afterglow
Brevity in sure steps

Words fail
Dark sails


Blind chance
Deep trance


Blur sight
Sure plight


Nude knave
Faith saves


Dusk sets
Loss vets

The Real Beauty Is the Afterglow

after the rains lord you give us the rainbow but where to find this sacred pot of gold yet i know the real beauty is the afterglow red blue green yellow violet and some indigo

Eternity's Sweet Afterglow

"We spend our years
     As a tale that is told,"
A wise man once said long ago.
But, we’ll have ages and ages
     To tell it all- in Eternity’s
         Sweet afterglow.

~ Injustice Moon Among Us ~


deeper than twilight
the moon to moon afterglow
a wave crush the mood
***
Stereotype motion
Two face under water 
Human injury

Barenaked Ladies

Voluptuous Venus..
Enchantingly crossing 
Her long velvet legs
Lovely desires; sensual
As beckoning, my heart
Amid her heavenly beauty's 
Afterglow; her Cinderella's...
Kiss our love's, perfumed bed.

Deep and Lovely Transparence

I observe that the sun
bright afterglow is similar
to your sight..,
I notice that the moon,
translucent and naked is
equal your soul...
With you thus, I feel
always deep, fruitful
and abyssal!

Premium Member Consequences

Listen to poem:
meltwater
exhaled breath
warm remnant of kiss
inescapable consequences
ramifications off-ramp.

despite en garde, parry loop,
deflect dodge defy deny and cry;
relent now, 
imbibe and savor the afterglow.

Premium Member Plum Wings

Plum
wings,
plucky
is the strum
of love’s afterglow
With purple locks and negligee,
angel flew to hubby under sateen satin sheets
Lavender ruffling, at the midnight hour, had couple vibing in synchronicity

Premium Member 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.

Premium Member My Moonstone Pendant

A radiantly brilliant treasure
an opalescent afterglow
left a candescent residue
on my appreciative neck
hours after I had returned her
glorious moonstone face
to my grateful jewelry box
who is honored to house her

Unclaimed

A Poetess schemes
A Poetess dreams
In the thick afterglow
Of what’s never to know

Her feelings unsure
Her words premature
Her voice still unnamed
 —her suitor unclaimed

Six Feet Deep and Rising

over six feet deep and rising
this water doesn't flow
as the rain continues to fall
I get caught in the undertow
I am in way over my head
the pump works way too slow
once more I slip down
extinguishing the afterglow

Mistress Sun

Seductions, thus
Of my mistress sun
Warming, is her beauty so
To this everyday affair

But, at night
She leaves me
Down, gone
And lonely cold

To seek comfort
In the arms of Lady Luna
Merely traces left
Of her afterglow

Afterglow...Burnt Candles 
Dissolve Embers,
Fondled Groans Heave 
Into Joyful Kindling...
Lush Moon's Nightscape Offers
Pleasure-- Quiet Ripples Sighing,  Trickling 
Under Velvet Whispers...
X-axis Yielding Zones.
