Tenderness (Remove filter)

For ASCGDF:K

after For M by Mikko Harvey

 

I didn't expect you to leave

red paint on my heart. 

Have you ever spoken

without the timbre of your gaze

turning words into molasses?

Well, if not, I think you should try. 

Follow my lead:

Emotion tied to twisted words and Pokemon is an odd combination.

I hope you know the melody of my laughter will be found in those words.

Sometimes,...

The first touch of our lips

You left a particle of amber, the most beautiful,

at the first touch of my lips

 

The sweetness, the source of your breath,

I felt joy and began living; 

I drank the gentle breeze of your kisses

on a winter's night

 

Something divine, transfigured,

drawn without words;

the glory of being in your arms 

 

We shared the sky at night and honey at dawn,

for betwee...

Lovetenderness

From Friendship to Love

The deepest love does not rest
In just lips or eyes
Or kisses or caress
Carried in gentleness
Across the wind,

But rather an emotion

And I hope, just hope

You sleep sound and safe in your single bed on this night

TENDERNESS

 

Tenderness has million of faces and names,

Tenderness has million of secrets and signs.

It is in the autumns rains,

It is in the young wines.

 

Tenderness is a high flying bird,

It’s in the light breath of the wind.

It can be everywhere heard,

It can never be sinned.

 

Tenderness can be in crystal tears

Shining on your eyelashes.

It can be i...

The Kiss

the kiss shouted passionately
you anguished tenderly
we kissed a placid mouth late
a desire loved us
the flower cuddled the languishing kiss slowly
she anguished desperately
a breeze anguished
the nice kiss anguished
a misery danced for you
the stormy love shouted tenderly
