Indulge Your Senses Lay me down on bed of flowers Blanket of clouds up in the sky Cover me with tender kisses As spring breezes blow on by Take me from the here and present Bridging time to distant lands Touch my skin with gentle fingers Map my body with your hands Hear my heart, its hurried rhythm Pounding out its frantic beat Feed my hungry flames of passion As our bodies softly meet Feel the past, it is receding Taking memories in its wake Easing pain and hurt and worry The future is now ours to make Taste the sweetness love is offering Breathe new life into my lips Two as one, we now are dancing Flesh enjoining at the hips Silence words before they’re spoken As your mouth, it covers mine Let our bodies do the talking Here together, they entwine Smell the air as it surrounds us Cool against our damp, warm skin See the day succumb to nightfall Feel me tremble from within Hold me just a moment longer Kiss tears that fall from my blue eyes While we lay on bed of flowers And stars begin to fill the skies There are only two ages of people...living and dead and you all look about the right age to me :) |

Hoot~ I just love 'the softer side' of Ruth ! This is simply sensually seductive. Wonderful ... wonderful. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com |

This "has" to be my new favorite of yours, Ruth! What a sensual, tactile, emotional rendering you've offered here. This is absolute beauty, in word. Thank you for sharing this. ~ Claire |

"Breathe new life into my lips"... This was exoticly pleasing to my ears Ruth... Gentle romance at its fullest to be sure!!! Open arms can be the most fragile in the world... |

You could make a kitten's meow sound like an earthquake. And turn a weed into an exquisite flower. You take passion beyond wonderful. You take your talent to the limits. Bravo, Hoot Liz |

Hoot I sense lots of warmth and sensuality...I'm especially interested in indulging in a few of these senses..such as..."cover me with tender kisses as spring breezes blow on by" and "Taste the sweetness love is offering..Breathe new life into my lips" and "let our bodies do the talking..Here together they entwine" and "smell the air as it surround us..cool against our damp, warm skin." Soooooo sensual and tempting. I like the way you wrote this poem. James |

Balladeer...ROFL, man did you make me laugh..oh, in response to serinity's comment..Is that your idea of foreplay  Marina and PDV...thank you both Marge...I'm kind of partial to the softer side too, but once in a while I like to roar Claire...why thank you, coming from you that means a great deal Serinity, love your comment girl ...LOL Devina...one of my favorite subjects...romance Dark Angel...thank you David2...if this poem succeeded in stiring some deep emotions in you it was effective then...thank you Janet Marie...you are a dear, thank you Liz...you flatter me, thank you for all your support of my work Jim...there are certain aspects of life that should include all the senses, this is one of them, I live like I write, life can be full of passion if we allow it...thank you There are only two ages of people...living and dead and you all look about the right age to me :) |

this is sooo different from the last poem of yours I read..that one was strong and assertive and this one is soft and sensual and perhaps a tinge of sadness in there ??(the tears in the eyes...from happiness no doubt..but even happy tears always seem a touch wistful) Its was beautiful..I loved it!

'Feel the past, it is receding Taking memories in its wake Easing pain and hurt and worry The future is now ours to make' It doesn't get any better than that!! This is excellent, Ruth! I think I too have a new favorite of yours!! Denise |

Tess...Well, the strong side of me is not the only side...there is also this very sensual side...thank you Denise...It almost surprises me that anyone would choose this as their favorite of mine, but thank you Martie...smiles, thank you very much Danny....you have me blushing here, thank you...and perhaps a thought for a new poem...seduction in rhyme (think I will have to work on that one) [This message has been edited by hoot_owl_rn (edited 03-23-2000).] |
