~*~

I tremble at the very thought of you.
My pulse quickens whenever you pass by,
Lightly brushing up against my quivering body
~ as if it were by chance...
Your Sea Spray cologne lingers in the air,
Leaving behind the essence of you.
I inhale it deeply ~ deep into the me of me...
Savoring the scent of your maleness,
Lost in a world that cannot be.

Linda,


You captured what I've felt.

Thank goodness he is not around I wonder if I'd be able to resist.

Great poem,

Enjoyed, hugs, Pat

This reminded me SO much of my favorite poem by Donald Justice:

Love's Stratagem's

But these maneuverings to avoid
The touching of hands,
These shifts to keep the eyes employed
On objects more or less neutral
(As honor, for time being, commands)
Will hardly prevent their downfall.

Stronger medicines are needed.
Already they find
None of their strategems have succeeded,
Nor would have, no,
Not had their eyes been stricken blind,
Hands cut off at the elbow.

(thought you might enjoy, as you seemed to be on the same wavelength.)

Thanks for this one Linda. Lovely as you are.

Sister, you snuck this in when I wasn't looking and I almost  missed it.

These kind of feelings are so darn hard and unfair .... maybe some day.

Hugs and luvs, Marti

Hi, Marti!

Like most of the Pipsters, I absolutely love to write! I have written everything imaginable: 2 novels, 1 screenplay, hundreds of poems, comic strips, magazine and newspaper articles, 2 children's books, 2 short stories, an outline for a sit-com, a children's play and a novella! ~ It appears that I am writing my own personal library! lol Many of my works I keep going back into, to rewrite passages or to add finishing touches. Some are published but most are just collecting dust!
Well, I guess you believe me now when I say I love to write!  

Love & Joy,
Linda

Hello Linda

Your words have the ability to awaken all the senses.  I absolutely adore men's aftershave!!

"Happiness is a perfume you cannot
pour onto others without getting
a few drops on yourself."

Take care......Sue

I am blue

Ahhh..there is nothing as tantalizing as love's interest piqued but unfulfilled.  Did you see "Message in a Bottle"?  PS I'm a cancer, incurably romantic and loyal as a dog.  lol

(big hugggssssssss) Oh Linda, this is so very heartfelt, sweet friend, I send angel hugs out to you as I know this feeling all too well! (sad sigh) How I long to hold a girls hand for the first time and walk with her, this is very heartfelt, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Linda, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,

Shucks! There I did it again! My first thought was Cancer but then my rational mind took over and I said Leo! lol
No, I didn't see that movie.
Glad there's no cure for romantics such as yourself! The world needs more men like you!

Your wistful words brought tears to my eyes---then I saw your crying icon and that made them tumble down my cheeks... Your time will come when the time is divine.

If this were not forbidden, would the sweet sting linger so?

Probably

I love the scent of the ocean ~ so fresh, so clean, so natural and when that scent is on a man, it is even sweeter... Yes, annoint your body with a cologne that conjures up thoughts of the mighty ocean, and you will have women falling at your feet!
