you float above me
midnight lover
a wisp of lovely fragrance
envelop me with sensuous ecstasy
you take your time
gliding ever so close
drifting in, moving away

I see you
now I don't
misty lover come to me

oh, that is good
I see you now
but you fade away
teasing me so
giving me nothing, giving me all
wanting you so
much and hold
fiery passion
mystifying wants
unbridled desires

I rise up toward the shadows
arms reaching, stretching
to stroke your divine
body, press my lips
against your fragile throat
oh, you're not there
gone away, gone away, gone away

midnight lover
you tease me
breathlessly

a love poem which made me think of a part of fantasy, of the unknown part of feelings, the presence or the absence of the beloved one have a considerable impact, thanks for the poem

You are very welcomed, Yann. To have the reader of my poem put himself inside the poem is the ultimate achievement and hearing about it is a beautiful thing.

A poem belongs to the reader they say. In this poem, I can empathize in the midnight scene you are writing, as if I'm the midnight lover.

February is truly a love month, it's in the air, and poets are so infected..
