Your hands so soft, surround my mind.
The very nature of your touch is overwhelming.
The sweet tormenting essence of your presence,
overtakes with frightening ease, my breath.
Slowly, I lift my head and meet your gaze.
Softly, I slide into your stare.
Did you think I wouldn't notice how you look at me?
Didn't you see me watching you, too?
I was so sure I could stand up to your smile.
Unwillingly, I surrender to your eggresion.
Wishing to succumb to your embrace instead...
How could you possibly walk away unaffected?
I could swear my heart was beating unusually loud,
echoing through the space between us.
Emotion resonating through my fingertips,
and I could swear you felt it when I brushed your lips.
I find myself making excuses to trace you,
and you allow it,
yielding tenderly to my touch.
You do it, too.
Although a little less,
with a little more finesse.
So baby, what do you say,
you make the endeavor?
I'd make the move,
but I'm not as coordinated in love,you see.
My heart is clumsy,
my affection too delicate.
I'm such a proud girl.
I'd hate to look foolish twice!
Although, I'm sure I could endure it for a taste of you.
So come on baby,
give it a try.
Just satisfy the anticipation,
and set your smile on my lips.
I promise I'll return it,
in even better condition.


Much love all,
Krissie

The entire weave was excellent but the way you wrapped it up....
So come on baby,
give it a try.
Just satisfy the anticipation,
and set your smile on my lips.
I promise I'll return it,
in even better condition.

Exquisite!!! Great writing~

                         You must remember this
                         A kiss is still a kiss, a sigh is just a sigh.
                         The fundamental things apply
                         As time goes by.

                         And when two lovers woo
                         They still say, "I love you."
                         On that you can rely
                         No matter what the future brings
                         As time goes by.

                         Moonlight and love songs
                         Never out of date.
                         Hearts full of passion
                         Jealousy and hate.
                         Woman needs man
                         And man must have his mate
                         That no one can deny.

                         It's still the same old story
                         A fight for love and glory
                         A case of do or die.
                         The world will always welcome lovers
                         As time goes by.

                         Oh yes, the world will always welcome lovers
                         As time goes by.

Wonderful vivid lines in the first part of this poem..images recreated for all so see and feel.....clearly... in their own perception. The latter part is very passionate and free flowing...good work!!

Krissie...this is such a cool poem ...
you nailed the emotions--the anticipation mixed with the insecurites..
this is exactly how it all feels...
those awkward moments...
and yes that last verse is WAY COOL and perfect...
excellent work from your poets pen
and whats most impressive is that you write WAY beyond your years...WAY beyond..
and thats way cool too.
