Longing For You

Longing For You


Longing for your sweet embrace
 your love and beautiful grace
The touch of lips so divine
 the thrill of you being mine

I touch all your sweet spots
 your body gives me the hots
Tan softly wrapping sexy curves
 when with you I am all nerves

Feel of your whispering vow
 that you belong to me now
Your sexy body naked in bed
 your not waiting to be wed

Your touch, while so divine 
 Simply Stops this heart of mine 
I send you this loving letter 
 For worse, or even better 

 Within your kiss, my breath flees, 
  I fall upon, weakened knees 
 Your hand, gently stroking my hair 
  You freeze me upon a glare 

May be wrong, but not tonight 
 Surely, God sees, love so right 
You're not mine, but you are tonight 
 Make love with our hearts wrapped tight

A collaboration effort

I did not realize that this was a collaboration until the end, which is always a good sign of a very well written poem.... This is such a passionate and tender write. Well done to you both!
