Charmaine Chircop Poet Free verse

I Want To Love You

 I want to feel you

like a petal feels the wind

I want to touch you

like dewdrops touch my skin

I want to hold you

like moon shadows hold a star

I want to tickle you

like the flutter of a butterfly

tickles my heart from fields afar

I want to lay my head upon your lap

like a child lays his head upon the lap

of a sterile mother in her fertile dream

I want to miss you

like an  immigrant misses his home-land

The land which deceived his opportunities

yet embraced his early footsteps

Poured his first  tear in a stream

I want to think of you,ardently

I want to seek for you,secretly

In the same way those paramour's enchanting eyes

seek and wander for his flamboyant mistress

I want to live dying to have you

like a hero dies in battlefield

dying to capture his daughter's smile

knowing  that the last glimpse of her

is a worn out sanguined picture

I want to find you

in the same way  my faith finds God

Without seeing,without knowing

With all doubts,questions and mysteries

With all that I was,with all that I am

and all I ever will be

I want to love you

Richard Lamoureux November 14, 2014 at 6:51 PM This is such a touching romantic piece. He is a very fortunate fellow to inspire such affection.

David Meade November 14, 2014 at 3:05 PM Your poem fires the imagination to a very hot fiery red and then you gently reform it into a beautiful love song -- tempered and strong. The "sterile mother" and the "immigrant" brings incredible depth to the poem . . .
