As I Gazed Awestruck, Thankful For Such Lush Bounty

As I Gazed Awestruck, Thankful For Such Lush Bounty

    When you directed flames- my lust anticipated
    your red-lips brushed my cheek- I knew it was Fated.
    Will you seek those lover's days again as oft do I,
    you in mini-skirt, high black boots and gleaming eyes?

    There was gentleness in your soft kiss and wet lips,
    why we never slept on our overnight camping trips?
    Your sexy body, loaded with heat and welcoming thighs
    my mind so inflamed and your soft moaning cries!

    Dawn's new lights, you uncovered in naked beauty
    as I gazed awestruck, thankful for such lush bounty.
    Now we gaze into lost paradise, again we lust
    for fires unquenchable, once again, that loving trust.

    Say, tell me, you watch for words to again meet
    for love, my future vow to again lay roses at your feet!
    For long nights of ecstasy and red-hot flames burning
    for love's hottest fires, rekindle our youthful yearnings!

Thank you my friend. There was much I had to leave out because of rules that forbid being too explicit. I had to edit several times because of that and have kept the original first full version in my journal for posterity. Nothing vulgar but had to make sure this was allowed.

Robert, such a romantic wondrous write! I love all the endearing, lustful, sensual, beautiful lines in your write, but I especially love; 'why we never slept on our overnight camping trips', a very sexual and passionate image, though the imagery is fantastic throughout! Well done my friend. Good luck in the contest! :)

Thank you my friend. I can not forget such a beautiful lost gem. Such heat and passion, her gift to me was greater than gold. A shame that I was not worthy at that time in my life.. I did however, leave to make sure that I did not destroy hers.
