Gently Now, Gently

Thinking of you in crimson dawn rising Voice of fervid night keeps calling me Naming the lady of my fabulous dreams Meet me I say, gleaming amber glory Start right there, where you left me Whispering to beats of sensuous feelings Listen to words waltzing verses of lyrics Pulsing cadence of your heart’s music Letting the chorus of smitten souls sing Pleasing our tunes of euphoric melodies As you dazzle me like glamorous painting Upon the canvas of my sensual gallery I hear you saying, “don’t try to rush me Read me like a magical script of fantasy Gently now, gently, unfold me softly Kiss me like you love me, kiss me fervently Gently now, gently, unwrap me slowly Blossoming in bosom of love’s ecstasy” Let my desires bloom in your spring Thriving like pink lilies, doting zestfully Whirling like nectar in fragrant ruby winds Luring the tempo of butterfly wings Arousing titillation of seductive reverie Blushing my face in rhapsodic revelry When you hear the sigh of surrender Subjugating me in embrace of your zeal Winning plea of my zealous appeal Ready I’ll be love, to write my story Upon the pages of your life’s allegory Revealing secrets of romantic odyssey I hear you saying, “don’t try to rush me Read me like a magical script of fantasy Gently now, gently, unfold me softly Kiss me like you love me, kiss me fervently Gently now, gently, unwrap me slowly Blossoming in bosom of love’s ecstasy” Gently now, gently, unfold me softly Gently now, gently, kiss me fervently Gently now, gently… gently now, gently… September 6, 2020 Poem of the day on September 8, 2020 Placed 1st: Pick – A – Title, Vol 22 - -Lyrics 2 – Poetry Contest Sponsor: Edward Ibeh Title chosen: Gently now, gently Placed 1st: Completely your choice (19) contest Placed 1st: Battle of most acclaimed 2020 poems by John Hamilton
