To be undone.

First...I give to you
my skin.

And dissolved beneath your
fingers...I lay bare to
the flesh of my
desire.

There is my blood.

As if an ocean that ebbs dry to
the pull of constant
moons.

I bleed arid for a moment in
your gaze.

And then...there are my bones.

They know only of an ache that
reaches far from your
caress.


To be undone...like
this -

Until the ache is all that's
left.

And I vanish in your touch.

When I gasped at the end of your poem, I realized that I had not been breathing while I was reading it! It was so sweet, soft and gentle, I suppose my breathing would have interferred with moment!

Happiness isn't something that happens to you, it's created from within you.  Joy is a state of mind.

Oh WOW!!!  Excellent Eric!!

Something tugs at me, I've no doubt of that.
Something from the sea, whichever one I'm near.
When I stray too far from beachland, it calls me back

There is no end to your amazing talent.  Yet another wonderful vision of love in all its glory.

Take care.......Sue

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