soft lights of the fireplace darkness outside the window the sputtering light leaks on shapes and corners of the room I stand looking down her head cradled on the pillow long brown hair made darker by the flickering blaze she softly breathes her full breasts rise and fall synchronized by the rhythm of her breathing a soft sound comes from her pale throat I kneel beside the bed lightly kiss that treasured throat her eyes blink open yessssss comes from her mouth I search her lips we kiss long, even longer I feel myself slipping into her awakening listening to the crackle of the fireplace she puts her arms around me pulling me into the bed I go without resistance we have done this time and time again as the flame of the fireplace cascades around us we greedily take what the other gives and gives back the same this love this forever love is forever and a day ©March 4, 2014 / Jerry Pat Bolton ~*~ There was a sign on the lawn at a drug re-hab center that said 'Keep off the Grass'. ~*~ |

I guess the expectation of spring could be the catalyst which prompted this poem, Lori. It was heartfelt and about someone I care very much about. I appreciate the kind words. ~*~ There was a sign on the lawn at a drug re-hab center that said 'Keep off the Grass'. ~*~ |

Very warm and romantic. A mind at ease writes like this. One ladle serves the soup that feeds the mouths of the many. Is there one in your hand? |
