Notes About The Poem

I Want To Skinny Dip

I want to skinny dip in pools of your eyes
And dry myself on lashes bordering there
I want to slide on lush plush of your lips
Then fall asleep on pillowed warmth of cheek
I want to reach the hollow of your chest
And camp above the rumbling of your heart 
I want to flirt with fingers of your hand
Then cloistered be, wrapped safe inside your palm
I want to enter world of waiting mouth
Explore and ride the wet waves of your tongue
I want to dance along what makes you man
And tease and please and swirl around and round
I want to course through rapids of your veins  
And then set fire to sanctum of your heart
I want to glide and dip in every breath
And sail the glorious sea of dreams and thoughts
I want all this and then I want much more,
For, darling, you're the one whom I adore

Hi Eileen, I commented on this one but for some reason I see it didn't post. I had said I enjoy skinny dipping and this one takes Skinny dipping to the Ooh la la level.

:) I was wondering what went wrong. It's not like you not to read my work. I don't feel complete unless I see your face here on my page, Richard. You know that....I'm so glad I asked you about it, so you could explain or else...I'd just be a grumpy girl. Hugs...Ooh la la makes me fly

I just realized how much fun skinny dipping could be! You bathe in enchanted waters of passion and seduction where love spells are impossible to counter or resist. You leave us breathless! hugs // paul

I'm glad you like the avatar...I was JUST going to change it because I though it isn't so nice. If I do...don't be upset. I'm a horrible perfectionist...Thanks for the compliment, though. A voluptuous cascade of words is a lovely way to describe this write. I'm very touched and impressed. Thanks, my dear.

I always hate to post after Justin . . . he is awesome. As elegant as his words flow yours soar with beauty and love. The fire of this passionate write burns away the dross and purifies the heart of love. Glorious is the sea of dreams and thoughts . . . here is where love and light dance! Outstanding Little One. 7 fav

My wilderness is where your dreams may undress...my arms, the security that quells your heart alarms...my gentle grips, the source from which your passion gallops...every man needs to have the extra touch to become the fantasy of true adoration Eileen. "I want to flirt with every finger of your hand...set fire to the sanctum of your heart..." HOT! You will never stop pushing your man to more greatness! J.A.B.

Has the Eagle found time from his soaring to come down and visit?? ;) Your posts make the mundane glorious and superb, my dear. Here I am in bed correcting final exams...and I can for a wile forget it all and just soar along with you. :) Justin...thank you for being so good to me. You know how I need encouragement and the epic in my life. You provide me with that and more. I'm glad I was able to heat your wings and flight with this write of mine. Your praise is deliciously sweet...a real treat...that makes me complete! ;)

Not sure about how great a person I am but Jan certainly is. She has co written three poems with me. I never expected some one with so much talent to want to do something like that with me. She wears her heart on her sleeve but has time for every one.A wonderful friend.

:) Thank you, Shane....I'm a very intense person...That can be a bad thing as I feel pain intensely as well. :( On the plus side...the passion and romance...and sometimes just a glorious day with the sunlight filtering through the trees can bring me to an all time high! :) I'm learning to accept who I am and go with the flow... ;) This is a first time visit from you. Hope to get better acquainted. Any friend of Jan's has got to be a great person. :)

Love and passion, unbridled, not restraints. Just exactly how it's supposed to be. You have captured these feelings spot on. I enjoyed reading your poem

Passion should never be bridled! ;) It should gallop free....without restraints. At least that's the case in poetry! :) Thanks for stopping by...
