Touch Me Touch me in the way the summer breeze Blows gently through alluring willow leaves Unwrap with delicate care the silken clothes Just as the sun unfolds a velvet rose Kiss me the like the humming bird takes time To sip with succulence the nectar’s prime Embrace me as the morning glory clings And wraps the trellis with its reaching wings As butterfly seeks out the sweetest gem Caress me as it brushes pollen stem As passion flower flaunts it’s glorious bloom Show me all the passion to consume And I will be on honeysuckle’s vine And offer you the sweetness of the wine A luscious nectar, pure and fine liquor To fill your honey cup forever more For I possess the one and only key To a secret garden filled with ecstasy Elizabeth Santos |

Good lord Liz! What a mind you have! Delicately romantic! The way you've woven all this together, I couldn't begin to come up with something like this. A special mind you have m'dear Most excellent, in taste, style, in every sense of the word excellence! |

I read your work and I can only look on in awe of your talent. This is exquisite! God grant me the serenity to accept the people I cannot change, the courage to change the one I can, and the wisdom to know it's me. ~Unknown |

And I will be on honeysuckle’s vine And offer you the sweetness of the wine A luscious nectar, pure and fine liquor To fill your honey cup forever more wow full of beautiful images, this is my favourite verse for some reason. Though the whole poem is perfect. oH yes this is wonderful poetry. A rock pile ceases to be a rock pile the moment a single man contemplates it, bearing within him the image of a cathedral. Antoine de Saint-Exupéry |

Liz, This is awesome!! Sensual and soft . . . very alluring. Oh to walk through the garden of love in the springtime. Nothing like it!! LW Poetry is the spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings: it takes its origin from emotion recollected in tranquility. --William Wordsworth |
