Is it you? Speak to Me…[revised]

Oh my poetic visionary, my lover extraordinaire
could I be your desired one, would I even compare
to those you've treasured and lusted in your life so long ago
or would you rather me, here, now, not even begin to know?

Tho I cannot give you my all, nor my universe,
but my entire being for all of its temporal worth,
for when I grasp your pledge of giving and of love
I feel as if I've been newly born and thereby lustily birthed.

You've laid bare all my senses, I feel as if you're the sun
by entering my private areas, those I've kept for just The One.
Is it you? Is it you? Are my dreams encircled in your speech
of poetry and prose and rhymes that for me beseech?

Not looking for this stirring, your words have left me reeling,
I hesitate to clarify for my knees they have gone weak.
Is it you? Could it be? Are you the one that to me have brought
your mortal love that I did not know I've sought … is it you?

Or are you then but a dream that I've webbed so fine
and are your words then spirits whispering through the pines
as I lay here 'neath nature's window, alone but not despaired
for at least your words have whispered that which I would share.

Hey...where did this come from?  (smile)

Sunshine, this is very rich, loved the "lustily birthed"  just incredible, and...

"Are you then but a dream that I've webbed so fine..."  so perfect...a delicate thing, is it not?

To the top with this...wonderful!!!

Saw this last night and was waiting to see if it was he that would show up and let it be known......maybe he is too shy.LOL.... seriously my friend this is one beautiful passionate piece from you.  Held me all the way through in tight closeness and makes me want to jump up and say "ahhhh yes m'lady, tis I" ....alas *sigh*

JMHO - but the one to whom this was written - ought to be groveling at your extremely wonderful poetic feet - especially after the wonderful piece above

Sunshine, this is absolutely incredible. . . I'm running out of words to describe your writing. . . I may have to begin to resort to these. . .  

I agree with Wilfred, whoever you wrote this for should be bowing at your feet. . . continuously. . .  

Excellent poem my friend. . .

This is very sweet, Karilea.  Now, spill the beans, girl.  Who's the lucky guy?  You can tell me.  I won't tell a soul.  Honest.
