Breathtaking


Beleaguer me with beaten breaths as I burn long beyond this dalliance of love,
Remind me with a rush of redolent-rippled candy kisses draped across my lips--
Enchant me with a tickle of your tempest as you transcend my tepid tranquility,
Attacking my dank demure with your deliciously decadent defiance to my doubt--
Tiptoe your ebullient eyes through thick doleful curtains drawn atop my trust,     
Helping to lather my lassitude with your lustrous elixir-like gaze that slays me--
Tempt my desires with your tender touch as you whisper passion into my veins,
Aching to unravel into your snowy soft embrace at a falling feather's descent--   
Kill the messenger that meddles in my mind preventing me from your seduction,
Imbibing me in sensual serenity as we get lost climbing sky-bound staircases--
Never stop the theft of my breath for I promise you troves after each idyllic kiss,
Granting you all the love that my lungs can hold as you fix me with your bliss--

What an intensely passionate piece of poetry, Sam. Many things to admire, like the great use of alliteration, and the sky-bound staircases. Hope this did well as I have not actually checked the status of this contest.

It was your poem I was commenting on Sam, just wrote Silents name by mistake. I do that all the time to my kids. They don't complain because they do it too....the apple doesn't fall far. Lol. Sorry about that. Cheers, Connie
