Her Galaxy

Original Submission by Tenille Petersen

Wondering where "Her Galaxy" originates from...?

Your hand touching mine,

This is how galaxies collide.

Allow me to unwind...

Starring at a large cream wall.

In the center hung a fairly large roman clock

Matching the seconds to my heartbeat.

Before I could even blink again,

I felt your warm breath against my right shoulder.

As I turn my head and lean in;

Nose first, kissing you on the cheek...

I smile with my eyes closed still feeling you close.

Lips locking, arms around my not so dainty waist.

The breathing in between the kisses start increasing

With slight sounds of satisfaction oozing through.

Being in the moment where nothing but the amalgamation of twin flames colliding;

Seems to be nothing but felt answers to my soul’s unheard knocks.

Drawing me closer...

The window to my soul is what you see

Through my eyes that you deem, vividly bold.

The tingle sensations you spark

Got me subconsciously removing layers of thick,

Unnecessary lack of self-doubt and confidence.

The connection allowed me to tap into what I imagined not even existing.

The unleashing of boldness, beauty from within

And the kind of confidence that stands ready to showcase her awareness;

When it comes to who she is internally and also for her to explore the kind of sexiness he so eagerly stimulates.

Flames taking off... Heatwaves disrupted.

A place of nothing short of shimmer and shine, bows and bling;

Spread over into a world of her own creation.

Glittery galaxies of undressed pleasure is what you introduced me to.

My every move is a shed of shimmer I so unknowingly leave behind.

A world you took me into and now all that was created is a Galaxy she so willingly calls her own.
