Give me a moment, to catch my breath,
But, don’t stop what you’re doing,
Hold me tight through this little death,
We can't stop our hearts from trembling,

Let’s give in to this powerful need,
Take from me what you desire,
I can’t help but crave with greed,
The passion that builds this fire,

You know what you do to me,
When our yearning becomes restless,
Let that wild obsession free,
As we drive each other breathless,

Brush your lips against my skin,
Touch me with your eyes,
Feel the heat as this fervor begins,
Listening to your pleasured sighs,

Hold me tight; don’t ever let go,
Draw me within your pleasure,
Let the love that is in your soul,
Be the souvenir of your treasure,

You know what you do to me,
When your yearning becomes restless,
Let that wild obsession free,
As we drive each other breathless,

I love what you do to me,
When my yearning becomes restless,
Let that wild obsession free,
As we drive each other breathless.

The answer is always NO, Until the question is asked.

I think this just might be my favorite of your poems.  It reads like silk and warms me like .. well, never mind.  It warms me.

Good job and thank you for sharing.

Thank you again, my dear friend,  I know I haven't been around lately, but when I get a chance, I drop in something I have been working on.

I am so glad you liked this poem/song.

Love like this always,
Tracey

I enjoyed reading this very much, Have you put it to music or written any for it? I can very easily hear it played as a melody.

It's not easy being evil, in a world gone to hell.

OK, I think this poem needs to come with an oxygen tent, because who ever this was written for is going to need it. Nice work. Thanks for sharing.

No use beating around the bush (pun), and you most certainly didn't here. Even, very readable flow of words about a subject everyone can relate to. Good.

I love the last two stanzas.. how they are repeated but altered a little. It would make a beautiful song!

Thank you all so very much for your wonderful comments on my poetry.  I am working of a few cords and notes for this song, and a completioin to make it a little longer.  

Thanks to every new reader of my poetry.
