The Rhythms of Love

Undertows of ocean’s tide
Bring me nearer to your side
Throbbing heart and quivering breast
In want to soothe the soul’s unrest

Melting into love’s first touch
Drawing close toward lover’s clutch
Warm and tingling sense of skin
Build up rushing waves within

Drumming beats within my ear
Giving birth to blissful tear
Synchronized in rhythm’s mesh
The pulsing throb of wrapping flesh

Wettened lips and fingertips
Are visions of the eye’s eclipse
And taste buds reap the pupil’s sight
Of silken warmth of skin’s delight

Tempos of a thunderous roar
Oozing out of every pour
Pounding heavy in the room
Rock the earth in love’s consume

Drum rolls fluttering through the mind
Tremors sound in murmur’s time
Slowing to a weakened state
Of heart’s contentment in elate

At dawn in early shadows' depth
The rhythm sweet of silent breath
Enveloped in lover’s steep
Softly cradles me to sleep

Elizabeth,

At dawn in early shadows' depth
The rhythm sweet of silent breath
Envelops me in lover’s steep
But I do not in cradle sleep.

For I in churn and torment yearn,
In depths of distance and concern.
Seek your touch in small reprieve
And dash upon the misconceive.

Love Sy
Your poems are to wonderful for words.
