The Moon Shone Through Her Window

She nestled her head like some moonlight sliver

on my shoulder.

As I plagiarized the warmth of the fading sun,

I pulled her against me; 

my lust rising like mercury.

Maneuvering magical motions in shadows,

the full moon traced its light on the floor

as we rolled on wool woven horses,

and the night slipped away without our noticing.

Author's Note

Mercury relates to a thermometer.

A sensual and heartfelt poem about connections ....

I liked the mini-movie nature of this poem.
Not sure about the penultimate line if I'm honest, but overall a feelgood poem...

Cheers

very romantic...i really like the idea of "plagiarizing" but not having to do with writing...

more like what is written figuratively in the moon's light and the sun's warmth.

Beautiful... Your poem perfectly captured the quiet moments of love, wherein even the most charming of words are rendered useless within the tender embrace of desire. Lovely... Ahnjolie
