I Want You

I want you 
Fantasy's a fleeting feeling 
I'm reeling for the reality of your kiss 
Luscious on my lips 
Ahhhh to taste 
Imagination's a waste 
I want you 

Riveted, you stand and stare 
Do I dare share 
this wanton whisper?
Shall I lay it bare?
I want you 

In every dream 
In every waking thought 
You're there
My eyes can't disguise 
Too foolish to be wise 
A dangerous disclosure:  
my feigned indifference? Just lies!
Desire's drive won't be denied 
I want you 

Proximity, passion's pull 
I crave 
I ache 
For heaven's sake 
My reserve's about to break 
Decorum's at stake 
But...but oh...how
I
   want
            you 

Cheeks crimson in the wake of your charisma 
Your eyes lock on mine
Body weak 
I can hardly speak 
That look...
Could it be true? 
Do you...want me too? 

As you move closer to me 
I feel the incendiary heat 
hit me in w~a~v~e~s 
In a daze 
Your gaze, this craze 

You lean in and whisper my name
Lay your claim 
There's no shame 
Who's to blame? 
Passion's hard to tame 

"I want you"... escapes ... ragged from your lips as they close on mine 
Melting into the sublime 
eternity bound in time

I feel you tilting my head back by my hair 
Your lips trailing everywhere 
Mine free to declare:

"Ahhhhh... 
I ...want....you!"

Dear Eileen, your poem sizzles! Passionate, sensual, beautiful! I adore your sultry imagery and the burning tension, and your use of alliteration, it sparkles within your verses. I also love how you animated the word “w~a~v~e~s” -so stirring! The pacing of the building intensity towards the luscious finale was perfect. It’s nice to see you.. your gifted pen has been missed. Warmest wishes.. ~Susan
