The gentle touch of your hand
A delicate kiss on the cheek
I now have you at my mercy
For your love is what I seek

Sensual encounters by the firelight
As two souls become entwined
Our hearts now beat in unison
A truer love you cannot find

Tender kisses beneath the moonlight
Fevers peak beside the sea
As the power of love consumes us
I will give you all of me

In the afterglow of love
Safe and warm in your embrace
My finger begins to travel
Around the curve of your face

Controlled by our emotions
Imprisoned within your arms
Mesmerised by your smile
Captivated by your charms

I am in motion
I am blue
Love is an ocean
I'm anchored in you

Very, very nice...especially this stanza:

                                                      Tender kisses beneath the moonlight
                                                          Fevers peak beside the sea
                                                        As the power of love consumes us
                                                            I will give you all of me

Whether on the shoal or on the shore,
I'll seek the lighthouse evermore.

Sue,
what a wonderful image for our cold winter mornings.

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

Hi Sue - Your love poems are soooo romantic and descriptive. I just love reading them and share them with my Hon.

Must be signs of life springing up in your garden!  Hope all is well in your part of the world.

Hugs, Marti

(smiles) Oh Sue, this is sooooooo beautiful, I think it is impossible to live a life all based on logic, as it is truly our dreams and desires that keep us going! (kiss on cheek) This is excellent, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Sue, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton
