As You Melt Into Me

        tie me to your tongue
                               as you melt into me.

                ever so softly, my sweet,
         whisper my name as you linger
                  in my loving embrace;
feel the warmth of my breath on your face.

             chest to chest, can you feel 
       my heartbeats against yours as we
                 surge through the pulse
             of passion's flickering flame?

        tie me to your tongue 
                               as you melt into me.

         come closer to me, i implore thee,
 let's stay the night under the jealous moon.
           as your hungry eyes meet mine,
           let me taste heaven in your kiss.

      yes,  my beloved, kiss me to resurrect
         a dormant desire that used to rage
             like a hurricane. let our hearts
     be carefree as twilight grows feet to run.

        tie me to your tongue 
                               as you melt into me.

Valsa George September 9, 2026 at 9:41 AM Intensely passionate and explicitly sensuous, the plea of a love laden heart longing insatiably for a tight embrace and a deep kiss. Beautifully penned dear Edward. As the poem progresses, the desire gathers strength of a hurricane.

Alison A Smith September 4, 2026 at 5:39 PM A sensuous, incantatory free verse poem whose repeated refrain creates a hypnotic, melting rhythm. The intimate imagery—breath, heartbeats, kisses, flame, moonlight, and hurricane—builds passion beautifully while the varied indentation gives the lines a visually fluid, breath-led movement.
