I breathe the delicate scent of you,
taste salt from places not seen by day,
run my fingers over softness known to few,
see sights that leave me with little to say.

Touch not my hand as it strays around,
around and down and up and over,
let my lips linger and touch,
touch and taste and love you…
love you, over and over.

So blessed I am to see your soul,
to touch your heart, your face, your hand,
so awed am I by the beauty I see,
and thankful too, that you given it to me.

But here at night with the lights turned down,
breathing the delicate scent of you,
I taste the salt from places not seen by day,
see sights that leave me with so little to say,

So blessed I am, so blessed I am,
I'm loved by you.

Hey, even if it was to be taken by force, this poem certainly was worth the effort! ::

Well James, I think something is working well, to inspire such a sensual and romantic poem. Much appreciated.

Forced? Ah......it's a blessing to read, believe me. Any woman would be reaching for the salt shaker

I'd say that this worked pretty good James. . .

we all should have such forced thoughts. . .

Really glad you guy's liked this one okay...took about 20 minutes to finally get it on paper. Don't you just hate it when you draw "blanks". Anyway...thanks much, again.
Guess I'll keep it.
