Afterglow
The sun peeps through the curtains of my lashes
waking me from a dreamless sleep.
I open them and try to focus
as the glare of morning fades
There he is. His shoulder blades
Moving with each steady breath
Suddenly, he flips over.
I panic.
flashes of last nights sex-capades
flush over me, I shut my eyes to them
foolishly putting on the guise of sleep
Good morning, he whispers.
continuing the ruse,
I yawn and smile coyly.
of course, I am an actress in all elements
What a good morning it truly is.
We lie there for a while
in a cloud of morning breath and pillowtalk
a few careless whispers
mingled in kisses
after a while,
I finally look in the mirror
a smile plastered on my face
what a hell of a night.
and the morning after
is blanketed in carnal bliss
and the sizzling aroma
of bacon drifting through the air,
I take another look at myself
my aura is blinding.
I wonder if he could see it
as I get refreshed
I giggle gingerly
Taking in a deep breath
I try not to grin from ear to ear
Act calm,
don't let him see
your euphoria
even if your
iridescence is celestial
because the brightest stars burn out the fastest
and he doesn’t even realize he has the match.
to relight your fire
Sincerely yours,
Just Another Millennial
