Brown skin
Smoother than chocolate
Her bare shoulder
Glowing in the candle light
The smell of roses fills the air
Every second is spent
Wrapped in each others arms
Because we know
Every second
Could be our last
About “Our Last Night Together”:
I’m sure a lot of you guys know Sadje and her blog. Well, recently I read a really great poem by her on her blog. She had written it as a response to this prompt. And when I read the prompt which was the colour “brown” this poem just popped into my head. I wrote it quite a while back but just posting it now. If you haven’t read Sadje’s poem or visited her blog please do. She has a lot of different types of posts and they’re always enjoyable.
As for the poem, as I mentioned I wrote this a while back. But I haven’t posted as much this week as I’ve been busy. I’m going to see six doctors this month so I’m not going to be posting as much. That’s why I posted this poem on a Friday (I usually post poetry on Tuesdays). Posting this today actually took me back to when I first started blogging. I would post a poem each Friday as I had school and was busy the rest of the days and could only post on Friday evenings. And my two loyal followers always read them haha. One was DentMistry of course, lol!

A very beautiful and poignant poem Pooja! The thought of parting gives their togetherness a new urgency
Thank you so much, so glad you enjoyed it! I was able to write it thanks to your lovely blog introducing me to the prompt.
You’re most welcome. That’s how I’ve been introduced to many prompts.
Same here, it’s great when we can connect with other blogs through the blogs we follow.
Exactly right.
Love you were inspired by Sadje’s great poem and now yours with such a sense of staying in the now. Love it.. wow, that’s a lot of doctors appointments Pooja… hope you are ok..💞🙏🏼
Thanks so much! Don’t worry most of them are pretty routine and I’m pretty sure I’m fine minus a few deficiencies here and there 😅
You’re so welcome! That’s good to hear. I usually go at my birthday and load them on to be done. I’m reviewed to know they are routine.💞
This poem was lovely!!! 🤎🤎❤️🔥
Why 6 doctors though?? What are you hiding??
Lol, a lot obviously 😅
Doesn’t sound good 😶🌫️

Pooja G… I hope you are in good health. That’s a lot of appointments on your schedule. You are in my thoughts, my friend.
Lovely poem. The intensity, gravity, urgency and appreciation of the moment. Love when you drop poetic lines. 💙👏👏 and Sadie is a true creative. She’s always at it. 👏.
I’m okay for the most part just a few things here and there. Thanks, I appreciate that.
Thanks, so glad you enjoyed it. Sadje’s awesome 😊
Such a beautiful poem, Pooja and I thank you for sharing it with our ‘Brown Colour Challenge’ 🙂
Thanks so much, really appreciate it and it was my pleasure 😊
🤗👌👌👌✒️🌹💖

It’s very sweet sounding (the poem). And good luck, I hope nothing severe is going on.
Thanks so much, no nothing too bad. Just some minor stuff.
I always read your poems ❤️
Always appreciate it 😊❤️
This reminds me of a poem I wrote (and performed many, many times at art galleries, coffee houses, etc.) called “once” – also about a couple that may never see each other again….
once
to open my door to you — but once
for you to enter — but once
enter by all means
enter whole/hungrily divulging desire
no doubt you want to do this —
once
tonite my angel-ness, sweet night,
warm and willing
feast with adoration
consumed with misty accordance
the sublime leading the sublime
luscious
a dainty lovely blowing peaches to your lips
i gently hum your song
a clever artist reading love poetry in your lap
a moon child frantic – absorbed in your all-ness
no doubt you want to do this —
once
once. because i am afraid of again
as again releases my faulty crimes
and sucks away my honeyed juices
as my kisses become claustrophobic,
my voice — a devil’s spanking to your soul
and my sex becomes still
and chilled
and few.
once. because i am afraid of you
because i am afraid of me
once.

Wow, that’s an absolutely beautiful poem. I can why you’ve been asked to perform it multiple times. Thanks so much for sharing it here too.
Thanks so much, it went with the theme of the other, so I couldn’t resist sharing.
I hoped it was okay 🙂
Of course, I love that you shared it. And yes, the theme is similar 🙂
This is beautiful, Pooja, and every second of our lives matters because it could be our last. Good wishes with your doctors appointments and I hope you feel better. 💖
Thank you so much. I couldn’t agree more, every second counts 😊
My pleasure, Pooja.
Every second counts.
I very much agree.
Lovely!
Thanks!
Love your beautiful poem, Pooja. It reminds me to live in the here and now. ❤️
Thanks so much. Absolutely, we have to live while we can 😊
There are parts of Africa where people could feel that urgency. Well written.
Thanks so much, appreciate the compliment.
It makes you think. Cherish every moment given with that special someone. I like it.
Absolutely, thanks so much.
You’re welcome.
The last line hits home 💕
Thanks so much ☺
You’re welcome ❤️
Sounds very romantic. And a good reminder about enjoying each moment.
Good luck with all the appointments!
Thanks so much!
My pleasure!
Good luck with the doctors and lovely poem !
Thank you so much!
Very welcome 🙂
Great poem
Thank you so much.
Our Last Night sounds like a night to remember! Loved the poem 🫶🏾
Thanks so much! 😊
This poem can easily be adapted for a sensual song sung by Beyonce. May be accompanied by a saxophone and piano. Slow and sultry. 😍👌
Wow, thanks so much. That’s a huge compliment 😊
well said, a reminder enjoy each moment, as it could be the last. As unfortunately sometimes, the next thing you know is someone has died or something life threatening/changing has occurred.
and best of luck with those appointments
Thanks so much.
Exactly, try to live while you can.
Loving this vibrant poetic imagery, Pooja!
Thank you so much!
