The Morning After

Meet new day with restored vigor
My heart is light and full of you
You start the race and pull the trigger
Your engine is now revving too

I want to dance now, soul to soul
You of course always agree
With sultry swaying, rollicking
Matching movements made by me

Now in dark of early morn
Before the sun begins to show
I sit and smile and radiate
Basking in this afterglow

The Morning After

Hello, Tim,
I see this has been a good day for you and yours! I wish Neo had those emoji thing-ys. I'd give this a thumbs up, wink-wink, blush, and of course, a big red heart. This is happy in the happiest way! Really like your title, and your final line is charming!
Thank you!

S1 L4, The use of the metaphor 'engine' is classy!

Such beautiful lines to sway and melt the heart of your love! I so much liked the shortness of this adorable piece! Beautifully crafted!!
