Maurice Yvonne Poet Free verse

It Is the Scent of Your Soul

In my arms secure I delicately brush back your hair,
Touch your skin almost imperceptibly  
Your eyes vanish into mine.
I feel miraculously lost in your splendor...

but...

it is the scent of your soul...

In my arms guarded you graze my lips with slender fingers
Kiss my body, soothingly knead my shoulders,
you inhale my gaze,
steal me, lead me to your dominion

but...

it is the scent of your soul...

Fusion of companions luscious in the air
Voices that harmonize in the sounds of pleasure
Willingly unconscious in a flurry of delight
On an adult merry-go-round of fervent assimilation 

but...

it is the scent of your soul...

your beauty unmatched
violet colored eyes, sun embraced hair,
an unblemished china white complexion,
lips that dance in sync with spring,

but...

it is the scent of your soul...

your primal allure unparalleled
that bedroom draw that you possess 
your fragrant heat that screams a man's desire
those womanly parts, a body perfect entices...

but...

but, still there is no measure.

The strength of your kindness,
your giving nature,
your nurse like instincts,
the pure drive of your convictions.

I would sacrifice all else
nothing matters more...

it is the scent of your soul that owns me.

Richard Lamoureux October 13, 2014 at 10:02 AM May I make one more small suggestion? The last line does not flow for me. Consider putting a "that" between soul and owns. If not for my appreciation for your artistry I would not make these suggestions. You are a gifted writer my friend. Maurice Yvonne October 13, 2014 at 10:12 AM Done. Thank you Richard.

Richard Lamoureux October 13, 2014 at 8:41 AM I absolutely love this stunner. Consider switching primal for sexual. For me sexual lacks the subtle touch you have used in this piece. Maurice Yvonne October 13, 2014 at 8:47 AM I love that suggestion Richard, in fact I thought the same thing about the word sexual but could not think of a good substitute. The word primal will be a huge improvement.

Demetrios Trifiatis October 13, 2014 at 7:11 AM It is a fantastic romantic poem that enchants any woman's heart and soul! Perfect my friend, Maurice a seven is the least one could do!

Andrea Dietrich October 12, 2014 at 8:14 PM This one fits very well with the other poem of yours I just saw. Is it for the same goddess? Utterly beautiful, Maurice. It takes a poet of your stature to write for a contest entitled "the Scent of your Soul" because it screams romance and passion!! Maurice Yvonne October 12, 2014 at 8:54 PM I don't write poems that scribble above is just an excuse to horse around with Tim and Jan down below.

Seren Roberts October 12, 2014 at 6:39 PM Oh Maurice this is fantastic, your talent holds no bounds.....Seren Jessica Vh October 13, 2014 at 4:03 PM LOL at his reply! Maurice Yvonne October 12, 2014 at 8:55 PM Bondage? There was no bondage...why who said there was bondage? She lied...probably

Carolyn Devonshire October 12, 2014 at 5:55 PM Dear Maurice, You could enter this in the "seduction" contest as well. It has elements of romance and tenderness. Who wouldn't want to meet someone who's willing to "sacrifice all else" for a loved one. Very, very beautiful, my friend. You don't need wishes of luck. Quality speaks for itself! Love, Carolyn Maurice Yvonne October 12, 2014 at 8:57 PM I do enjoy romance. Holding hands, kissing...like you said tenderness. Tim Smith October 12, 2014 at 5:58 PM Just having a little fun :)

Maurice Yvonne October 12, 2014 at 9:01 PM I'm like Shakespeare I don't write anything. Jan writes my poetry, Cas writes my prose and my plays.

Wait a minute is there a U in soles? Tim Smith October 12, 2014 at 12:05 PM I have to go shower to get this scent off of me.
