Perhaps you're the breath Of sunshine on my face Warm, with your lips Fired with the heat Only you can generate Perhaps it's just my thoughts Seeking you and remembering Or maybe it's your laugh I see in your eyes, your lips As you give in to the pleasure Of my touch Of feeling my body Against yours Or my hands Caressing yours Or am I just recalling How I felt As you held me so tight With arms and legs Wrapped 'round Pulling me in Of course it may be the gasp I heard, burned into my conscious You gave, before you uttered The "Oh, oh's" In rising crescendo As we reached our pinnacle And lost tension You dwelling in silence I in breathing Basking in your warmth You look Give me one smile Thus to describe us It would be 'Content' Yet above all these Were I to name it It was how we whispered "I love you" In one voice Before we began There are places inside our souls - that have never been touched. There are places inside our hearts - that need to be loved this much. ~Janet Mar |

You not only try my friend but you succeed to the level that leaves the rest of us running around in a mess of confusion trying to keep up. This was truely lovely and so.......soooo...... so WILFRED.......I loved every thought and every word of it. A life with love will have some thorns, but a life without love will have no roses. author unknown |

Of course it may be the gasp I heard, burned into my conscious You gave, before you uttered The "Oh, oh's" In rising crescendo As we reached our pinnacle And lost tension You dwelling in silence I in breathing Basking in your warmth You look Give me one smile Thus to describe us It would be 'Content' Yet above all these Were I to name it It was how we whispered "I love you" In one voice Before we began =============== I will give it a name ... PASSIONATE POETRY WOW this is wonderful ... what a sensual adoring love filled poem this is excellent Wil ... truly and those last lines poetic impact ... perfect ... oh so perfect later-burned into my conscious-gator jm I looked into the sky for my anthem The words and music came through But words and music can never touch the beauty that I've seen Looking into you |
