Tender
loving kisses
falling like rain on me
his lips so soft.....making my night
Tender

~**~

Patient
gentle touches
from his strong knowing hands
making my soft, sensual sighs
Patient

~**~

Giving
his love tonight
slow, sweet heat, simmering
stirring inside me a need for
Giving

Hi, SEA!

I like these, they are tender and gentle.  I do think that using the phrase 'on me' so close in proximity erodes from the strength of the 1st cinquain.  Would you consider trying omitting the second 'on me' from the 4th line.  I think the meaning will still be there anyway.  Also, in the 3rd cinquain, I think it could be strengthened by omitting the word 'me' as it is understood to whom the giving is inspired.  What do you think?  These are certainly soft, sensual pieces.

Circe love, hi these are some of the loviest pennings you've ever done, you shine in these dear poet. It's been far too long since I was here enough to enjoy your poetry.
(I'm actually off sick, no nothing really awful, but I can't be near people who are vulnerable)

Anway my sweet poetic sister, you keep writing beauty like this and you know I'll be back here before you know it.

Take care love and warm stuff

Take back the hope you gave,- I claim
Only a memory of the same

these are romantic and sensually beautiful Sea-girlie.
(you been listening to your Prince records havent ya) LOL

Do Me, Baby by Prince  

Here we are in this big old empty room, staring each other down
U want me just as much as I want U, let's stop fooling around
Take me baby...  kiss me all over...  play with my love
Bring out what's been in me for far too long
Baby, u know that's all I've been dreaming of

Do Me Baby, like u never done before
Give it to me till I just can't take no more
Do Me Baby, like u never done before
I want u now, I just can't wait no more, can't wait...

Here we are looking for a reason for u to lay me down
For a love like ours is never out of season, so baby please stop teasing me
what ya do, I can never love no other, u're the best I ever had
Whenever we're not close to one another, I just want u so bad

I'm hanging on your every word
Even if you dont want to speak tonite
It's alright
I'm sitting outside heaven's door
listening to you breathe

SEA, These are vey nice and I love the way you managed to end each by using the first word again.
But I do not think these are cinquains, at least, not what I know abot them.
there are 2 kinds of cinquains,each consisting of 5 lines:
formal: made up of syllables - 1st line has 2 slys; 2nd l has 4 syls; 3rd l has 6 syls; 4th l has 8 syls and last line has 2 syls again

informal: made up of words-
line 1 has one word; l2 has 2 words; l3 has 3 words; l4 has 4 words and line 5 has one word again.
Invented by an American poet Adelaide Crapsey
I hope that helps a little.  Panne

Sea ~ How beautifully you executed perfectly formal cinquain, and I too, loved how you started and ended with the same word, as it made them very contained.  Well done!
