The Kiss

entry picture

My Dear, the very mention of your name

Can strike the spark which fans my longing into flame.

One lingering touch’s enough upon my skin

To turn the smouldering heat to fire within.

 

I sense your mouth, my pulse is rising higher

Your lips meet mine and fill me with desire.

Stronger than pain, yes, stronger still than fear,

The force that pulls me to your arms my dear.

 

.

This surge of longing roused by fingertips

And hungry loins against my aching hips,

And now, inside, a churning pool of need

Will ne’er be stilled until you plant your seed.

 

Our arching bodies pulse as one.

The rhythm of a beating drum

Insists that we fulfil its call

Until, full-sated, we will fall

Fast flowing through the waterfall,

Whilst rainbow promise glints then sighs

Like petals shed when flowers die.

What a lovely well written poem Yvonne. Full of sensual feelings/thoughts.

It reminds me of those t shirts that pregnant mums use to wear with 'it started with a kiss'.

Thanks for your comments on Secret. I like a little bit of 'garden path stuff' to keep myself sane.

Well now Yvonne, that is a powerful kiss indeed - a lucky man methinks! :)

Best wishes, Dave

It`s not until the blood cools down do we realise that this poem is (only?) about a kiss!

Talk about brinkmanship (or brink - woman - ship)! It had me going.

It is living proof that sexuality along the very edges of restraint is well more powerful than all the `crash bang, lets get on with it` stuff around today.

The `until` and the `we will` in the last two stanzas just about keep the `hungry loins` and the `churning pool` at bay, `drum` (hearts?) beating till the `until`

That `plant your seed` might be unfashionable, but it turns this into a tour de force of genuine female sexuality.

One very, very, very, very, minor point:
I don`t think `flowers` or `petals` belong in it.

Never enjoyed a poem so much for ages.

Having just soaked up
the sensuousness
in this yummy poem,
we are about to throw a bucket
of cold water over each other!

Nice one Yvonne.xx
