Holding On

la vapeur monte, mon désir

A breeze brushes lightly across bare eyes
longing pools of desire penetrate 
deep into the cradle that is you
and I crave to delve

Waters drip dewing at a touch
caressing the morning air
engulfed in passion's first kiss

My lair awaits the Ravens call
to dissipate 
with nature's scent knocking
high upon your window

Hope rests in the middle
the church bells ring
my world keeps spinning
and I'm holding on  • to you

A beautiful and sensual write Tim. Lush lines like; 'deep into the cradle that is you and I crave to delve' - those are some sweet poetic words Tim. I truly enjoyed your poem this evening!
