smile & chuckle
say i am too funny
laugh about this later on

i am just a woman
who longs to feel your gaze
who yearns for your touch

but so you have no doubts
where i am concerned
no qualms about me

i shall confess my rambling reveries
this imperfect woman in your bed

somehow
in all your seductive charms
in your quiet intensity
in those eyes which see through me
from which i cannot hide
you encircle me
& in this exposure
i feel completely secure

when i am with you
enveloped
i feel safe
safe enough to let it all go
to let go
to open up
to be completely vulnerable to you

this never happens
i never let it happen

and it is exactly what i need
and it is exactly what i want

being with you
being awakened & aroused
bringing tears & cries of pleasure
this most incredibly intense experience
i never want it to end

i do not even want to close my eyes
to do so would be to not see you
and you would seem
just that much farther away
and i cannot feel close enough to you

bodies entwined
pulling & pushing
tumultuous & ravenous & frenzied
you cannot be close enough

electrifying & overwhelming
moments of all-consuming passion
naked
all-revealing

i want to be with you
eyes open

for here you are
this mysterious magnetic man
so much depth in your eyes
so much depth inside
so much i do not know

& i am wise enough
there is more than this
the physical is not the best of me
as i know it is not the best of you

so even though i am so scared to step outside
some unspoken boundary
i am intrigued
i want to know you

but i cannot know you in one night
or weeks of nights
or even more

every thing takes time
one day
one night
at a time
life is long
youth is young
& we must live our lives without restrictions

daring to dream
daring to reach our own goals
daring to live

so not ever taking anything away from you
not fearing you would take anything away from me
just to have the time
the space
the opportunity

to see you
by the light of day
outside of the shadows of night

to see
what you will show of yourself
to see you
in your entirety

to show you
i am more than just a woman
who longs to feel your gaze
who yearns for your touch

imperfect as we may be
delighted & delirious in bed

to see each other
eyes open

Ah, new love. Beautiful writing of the feeling we have all known. (all the women anyway) Made me think of a shor term lover from years ago, and someone I love now as well. Thats a darn good poem that can take my mind to 2 different places. Loved it.
And welcome to DP

This was absolutly one of the best pieces of emotion I have read. It is like you had reach inside of me and new what I was feeling. Your
out poor of true emotions is astonishing.

You got to get up every morning with a smile on your face
and show the world all the love in your heart
Then people are gonna treat you better
You're gonna find, yes you will
That your beautiful as you feel.~~~ Carol King
