When we first lay together my love's hand rested on my belly.
I did not move.
Electricity flowed from the Universe,
through his elbow to my toes.
His touch branded my flesh.
His song entered my soul.
His breath filled my heart
Searing enhanced love's flavor .

Hey, My elder sister used to read them to me, and as I grew up, my love for stories only got stronger. I started with books, and now I enjoy reading on different writing platforms. Today, I came here just to read some stories, and that’s when I found your writing. From the very first lines, it caught my attention the more I read, the more I fell in love with your words. So I just had to appreciate you for this beautiful work. I’m really excited to hear your reply!
Excellent poem. Electricity flowed from the universe. Well Done!!!
I'll admit, seeing the picture, I really thought this was going to be dark, so I am pleasantly surprised by the sweetness. Excellent work!
Excellent free verse.
"His touch branded my flesh. His song entered my soul." I especially loved these lines! Wonderful poem!
