Take Your Pen

Take your pen and write my name
Across your heart in passions’ flame
Feel my fire igniting you
On silken lips taste my dew

On this blank page draw my soul
Mark in the lines that are whole
Take from the page this pure thought
To seek what your soul has sought

Without doubt colour me in
Paint my eyes in shades of sin
The hint of promise you see
Is only a glimpse of me

Take your brush and paint my lips
Stroke me with your fingertips
Breathe in the sense of my touch
Confess to the need of such

Take your colour and shade me
Let your eyes feast hungrily
Lay down your resistance here
Yield, you have nothing to fear

Marsha


Breathe through the heat of our desire
Thy coolness and they balm
Let sense be dumb let flesh retire
Speak through the eathquake wind and fire
Oh

Marsha,
how many shades of love do I love this poem in?
Let me count the ways.
I love this poem yes I do
it makes my heart to sing
I love the words so soft and true
it flies on starling wing
I love the way it makes me sigh
with comfort and with bliss
I love the way it lift's me high
as I feel the lover's kiss
I love the way so many things
are crowding in my brain
I love the way this poem sings
Again, again ,again
I love the way it reaches out
to touch my very soul
I love your words in lover's rout
that make me see the whole
I love the metre and the rhyme
it fills me up with bliss
but most of all I love the time
it recalls a lover's kiss
Too many times a poets words
will leave me sad and tart
but your poems fly like birds
they always warm my heart.
Keth

Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind.  Unknown

This is my 3rd attempt to reply ... my keyoard melted the first two times
What a luscious write.  I have melted like a cheap candle

Fool, said my Muse to me, look in thy heart and write.
