In the space between moments

Feathered touches fly
Over creamy curves of skin
Graceful fingertips falling
Tracing a visage brushed with twilight
And memorizing every softness.
~*~
Sweet words flow around us
Rivers of crystal feeling
Bathing hollowed wounds
Within our worn and tired souls.
~*~
I yield to your every kiss
And know you in every breath...
~*~
Sighs of velvet encircle
Curling through the cool air
While forever gleams in the cerulean pools
Of your honest eyes.
~*~
Shivers glide deep within
As you soothe me with your light...
~*~
Wrapped within your silvered wings
In a cocoon of feathered touches
I know that love is what we are
And will forever be.
~*~

wow.  it's amazing since after my long hiatus from Passions, to see how much you've evolved as a writer, you've improved so much since teen poetry #1.  Thank you for sharing that sweet poem and giving inspiration, that yes, work does get better with practice.

Unrequited love sucks.

Krista,

I just became a member, and this poem was the first piece that I read.  

This poem was ~personally~ perfect for me...the piece states exactly what I have felt and currently feel, in a way that I have never been able to express.  

- Thank you -

*Smiling ear to ear* Beautiful poem dear! This was just incredible, ever word, every image was breath taking. You've stolen my breath again, like you've stolen my heart, sweetheart

that have never been touched.
There are places inside our hearts -
that need to be loved this much.
