Notes About The Poem

Murmurs and Soft Sighs

A storm blew in when I peered into those dark eyes
Fearing lightning would strike in bolts of midnight fire
Wanting his touch, though it might lead to my demise
Then full lips swept over mine, igniting desire

Thunder roared in my head with each deepening kiss
I heard it drumming in warm breaths against my ear
Fingertips danced lightly over naked skin.    This
serenade sings in my heart each time he draws near

Desperate urges and needs filled my torrid mind
I murmured in soft sighs against his stubbled cheek
whispers of hunger I'd never before defined
He sated desires I'd never thought I should seek

Love was a passionate storm at my husband's side
Where we floated on waves higher than at flood tide

That they do, Robert. It's so much easier to write from our experiences, even those which have caused us pain. Thank you for being so encouraging.

Beautiful...written with a romantic and passionate pen, Lin. Throwing caution to the wind is not always advisable, but it sure was worth it in this case! Regards // paul
