This is an oldie from sometime ago, but remains amoung my favorites

Unobtainable Heart

Her words
     dance
off silvery tongue
and partner with your imagination
     luring you
into a seductive trance.

She captures you
in breathless heats
     of passion
fashioned into syllables and rhyme
      enflaming your desires
as she, the never ending temptress,
strews lines
you are unable to cross.

She consecrates
     life
with the dignity of words
that linger like
     the metallic scent of perfume
long after you’ve finished
reading.

The hopeless romantic,
she weaves gossamer threads
     of letters
into webs of poetry
entrapping you
in quick sliver moments
     that fleet
before your eyes
leaving you hypnotized
by the fluid rhythm
     of her work.

But on her greatest days,
she stands,
     bared,
before you
and offers up something
     she will never give.

Ruth, each one of your poems are just amazing. This is extremely well expressed, you have some unique lines in here and weave your words so phenomenally. Many would say that you wrote this about me. And yes, I can understand why this is one of your favourites! It's one of mine as well

Take care,
Melissa

I remember this one from a way back. I enjoyed it then and now, because it makes me think of words and how powerful they are.

Sunshine...you make me blush here, but thanks so much for the degree of respect and faith you have in my words

Melissa...I smiled when you said I could have written this poem about you because originally it was written about me...I guess the wedding date in less than four weeks shows that I was a bit off about my heart being unobtainable huh?

Thanks for the nice comments

Irish....there is nothing more powerful my friend

Sea...thank you

I like your style!
