Deeper

Stronger than the scent of you
Past the glint, the colour of eyes even

Warmer than your sweetest smile
Inviting, reeling me in

Deeper than your skin
Your muscles, your heart pounding

Your fingertips, the lightest touch
Wanting and needing; far deeper than such

Love’s fluidity flowing deep
Deeper than moist desirous heat

Softer than my whispered name
Deeper than the mating game

Beyond fertility, deeper than that …
Deeper than even Eden’s lap

Why thank you kindly sir! I made a mental note to check out more of your stuff by the way. I'm a newbee (yes bee) on here so it'll take me a little while to come to terms with everything going on here. Seems like the best poetry place I've discovered so far!!!

Really appreciate your dropping by. I just loved that Haiku of yours and looking forward to delving into your work. Just need to acquaint myself with how things tick around here a touch. I feel inspired and I haven't written a thing lately!
