I Want Someone

I want someone to pamper me
To bathe me with love and care
I want someone to cherish me
To say he’ll always be there

I want someone who hears the sigh
That no one else can hear
I want someone who bears me up
When my heart trembles with fear

I want someone to adore me
And tell me I’m his guiding light
I want someone to caress me
All through the lonely night

I want someone to play with me
And cuddle me like a child
I want someone to entice me
With passion to drive me wild

I want someone to make love to me
Like I’m some goddess divine
I want someone to touch my soul
To take me to heights sublime

I want someone to nurture me
To keep me under his wing
I want someone to humor me
And give my heart songs to sing

I want someone to ravish me
Make me forget time and place
I want someone to possess me
Make me vanish without a trace

I want someone to kiss me
Like he’s tasting nectar sweet
I want someone to taste me
Like he’s savoring a treat

I want someone to adore me
Like I’m the sacred grail
I want someone to follow me
Down each and every trail

I want someone to look at me
And see what lies within
I want someone to guard me
And keep me safe from sin

I want someone to hold me
And sing a sweet lullaby
I want someone to console me
With the truth and never a lie!

I want someone who is daring
Who'll fight enemies old and new
I want someone who's divine
And that someone, my dear, is YOU!

I rate it 7 simply because 100 does not exist in the tab... This is too much perfection... A favourite indeed!

That was very enjoyable...perhaps can be used in marriage vows(if not already)

Thanks, David...No...this is fresh off the press, as they say. It hasn't been used for anything yet, but...as you say...it could work! Thanks for the confidence you put in it! :)

I loved the poem up to the very last Stanza. I understand the sentiment but feel talking about death detracted from the tenderness of the preceding romantic message.

Point taken, Richard...I changed the last line. Thanks for the tip! :)

eileen - i so enjoy your poetry which, you are right, is so different from mine. it's wonderful to read your poems of yearning and passion, especially because you always nail the rhythm and rhyme!

Oh wow! Thanks for this lovely compliment from you, Ilene! I'm a bit discouraged about my work lately, but this helps me continue! Hugs!

ERATO, goddess of poetry of love, certainly will feel her throne shaking, after the earthquake the passionate marvelous verses of your two last poems have caused! Highest marks!
