I know loving me hasn't been easy
I make your heart beat with passion
then I rip it out
you never know if I am coming or going
and I can't see heads or tails
front or back, start or finish

then, I smile (so naughtily)
as I grab your arms
and kiss you hard

then I feel so cold
my heart closed and quiet
leaving your head spinning
like a whirlpool
your emotions wild
like my thirst for you
(sometimes)
then I come around
asking for more
of your time
more of your love
more of
YOU
and instead of turning
away

you stop and hold me tight
because you know
without a doubt
my love is held firmly
in your arms
even when I feel cold and dead
inside
you wake my heart back up
and gently show me (yet again)
how much I mean to you

*sigh*...you are lucky...seems to be a sound relationship

Isn't it odd how there are us poets who are filled with so much emotion, yet we choose not to show it to anyone other than on paper? Just a thought... Beautiful poem! I love it, as always!

Izzy, I think have just defined womanhood. (Boy, am I going to get raked over the coals for that!) And, as always, you have done it with beauty and insight.

Izzy, you may be a mermaid but you'll never be a mere maid! Beautiful words.

Hiya hun *8)
well, ever since you posted this, I've been trying to think of what to put as a reply. I've read your poem over and over, and really there isn't anything I can say that you didn't say already. I'm biased, so I'll say it's lovely anyway *shrug* but it is! I'm babbling... funny how you do that to me. You even said why I don't go away... because I know, without a doubt, that your love is held firmly in my arms.
Erm I'm never gonna be a professional critic *8)

Love, Eric.
