Your eyes
Capture my heart
And shame the sky in their blueness

Your skin
Fuses with mine
Nerves I never had awaken

How can I not love you?
All you are is all of me
We speak with the same mouth
Cry with the same eyes
Even though your face never betrays your heart
koi kokoro

Your hands
Catch me at the edge of passion
I've never been so helpless before

Your voice
Realizes a beauty
As I have never experianced

How can I not love you?
I will always yeild
To the moistness of your tounge
To the tenderness of your lips
Even though you're tearing apart my will-power
koi kokoro

How can I not love you?
All you are is all of me
We speak with the same mouth
Cry with the same eyes
Even though your face never betrays your heart
koi kokoro

Your scent
Lingers on my skin
Even after you're gone

****************************************************Note- I had some help with the tital from a friend....As I said, I don't know Japanese too well. Koi means "intense love" or...*giggle* it also means "carp". Kokoro means "awakening" as far as I know.

Your scent lingers on my skin...such beautiful words, and a beautiful poem!! Loved this, wonderful imagery also.

Wren, this is so beautiful. Can feel the situation unfolding, the love, the desire. Very powerful.

~Wren,...aaahhh, *soft sigh* to the last part...."Your scent Lingers on my skin Even after you're gone". Wonderful work,...also like to say that I so enjoy the little splashes of Japanese that you so skillfully toss into your poems. I once wrote my whole reply to you in Japanese but I erased it and rewrote it in English. Oh well. Take care W. *Peace.

Ditto to the above: i feel like a fool not having anything original to add, but they already said it!

Wren, so many hearts you are wooing with this poem. A beautiful piece

Wren, I think this may be the best thing you have ever written.

"All you are is all of me
We speak with the same mouth
Cry with the same eyes"

It speaks of such a lovely forbidden-feeling devotion. Wonderful.
