Waiting, I’m Waiting Waiting, I’m waiting, I want to see the reflection in my lover’s eyes of me. I want to hear his voice within my ear, I want to feel him hold me near. I don’t want much, just the very all of him. I want to take his heart, hold it in my hands, and above all I want him to understand that I am his, forever, I’ll be at his command. Yes, I know this is not feminism at its very best but I love it when he holds me to his chest, I love it when against him I can rest, I love being all of his, it’s the very best. OK, so I’m repeating myself, and you find it ridiculous to hear from a woman who thinks of two as “Us” and as a romantic, I still take my clue from memories of my parents, lovers true. They had the secret, I know for a fact loving was something they didn’t lack. The days give me plenty of work and flack in the nighttime, it’s my husband I want to attack! Not with words or rolling pins or threats or growls but to him I want to pretend to be on the prowl, to be a kitten, a cat, a feline sublime and I want him to get me purring somehow. He has his ways, I’ll not share them here, you’ve got your ways, you’ve nothing to fear. Waiting, I’m waiting, I want to see the reflection in my lover’s eyes of me. 20 August, 1999 ©KRJ ------------------ Sunshine Words will always express our feelings true. ~~~ KRJ Look, then, into thine heart, and write ~~~ Henry Wadsworth Longfellow |

I know the feeling! The comfort of curling up with the man you love, nestling your head under his chin, feeling those secure wonderful arms - and knowing that you're giving him comfort too - better than a hot bath (even sex!) any day. Love your poem. |

Sunshine... great sentiments, pussy cat/Tiger. Some of your stanzas differed from others in their meter, and you seemed to slip in places. Overall, the message came through loud and clear - you've got a lucky hubby. |

Here's a secret about me that i'm gonna share with every darn person that read's this....I have always been the "independant" woman who needs no one and nothing - but you know what I value most of all? When I have a man who is "stronger" than me....and to have him take me in his arms, I feel safe like a child.....and it's that moment that I let him be the strong one...and I am free to be weak and helpless, safe against him....Even the strongest of women eventually resort back to the strength within the arms of a man......it's instinct from our caveman days, and yet it still drives us today ! ( I still like to be drug around by my hair too - is that taking it too far? Do I need counseling??!!) he he he Me Jane ! ------------------ - poet FemmeFatale "The strongest man in the world is he who stands most alone..." Henrik Ibsen (1826-1906) Norwegian dramatist lyric poet |
