          “JUST LISTENING”
                       by
                   Bill Charles
                      ~~~~
What I do tonight is listen, to the melody,
a guitar plays, touching into my soul…
It’s hard to explain, how it affects me,
when my body moves, to rhythmic control…

I hold you tighter this night, but gently,
my fingers to your hips, and we play…
I gaze into sensuous eyes, and melt,
hear your whispered words, as we sway…

Your warmth breath, I’ve know before,
but now different somehow, on my skin…
Don’t know what it is, the music perhaps,
into the night with you, places we’ve been…

Wanting no other, or another to hold,
I touch your warm lips, with aching…
Many notes heard, of that haunting guitar,
my eyes close, touching you, just listening…
                      ~~~~

You play sweet music from your heart
touching the soul deeply
Sensual passion is your art
singing to us sweetly

Bill, the romance of your words tells the beauty of the feelings you have. This poem is magnificent.....You could even melt the heart of a star. Don't mind me...I am just in a silly mood. **hugs**

Love I leave with you whether it is in your life now or yet the essense of your dreams.

Sometimes it's wonderful just to stand there, and listen, and ... be.  Or be together with that special someone .  This was wonderfully romantic.  It's beautiful the way things so familiar can become fresh and new again.
