Notes About The Poem

On Passion's Tide

A storm blew in when I peered into his 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
symphony 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 my desires when they reached fever peak

Storms are strong passionate tempests at this man's side
We ride on crashing waves higher than at flood tide

Thank you very much, dear Beryl. And thank you for not aiming your hurricane winds any closer to New Orleans than Texas. That's been a doozy of a storm... so far.

The Queen of Steam does it again! You do realize that I have to open a window now just to cool down?.. I don't think I'd ever make it to the end of any romantic novel you write Lin :) I've also learnt a new word today: "sated". I thought at first it was a misspelling of "stated" but No!.."to satisfy to the full" . That totally sums up your poem for me. :) Cheers - Gary

Well, Gary... now you given me a name that I can wave in front of Jan when she reminds us that she's been labeled 'The Queen of Poop!' Seriously, I appreciate your time of reading and leaving such great comments. They sated me, poetically. ;-)
