Seducing Beauty

I want to know
The limits of your passion
So I wade into your sea
Reaching to the depths of you
Losing myself within your blissful currents
I Penetrate the force of your nature

Slowly I ascend
To the surface of your wonder
Riding each passionate wave
Until I feel your release
The calming of you
The beauty of your stillness 

My hands stretch to your horizon
Marveling at the magnificence of you
You let them dance upon your softness
As I rise towards your sky
The winds of your changing
Caressing my being

You bathe me in a soft light
Gravity pulls me towards your moon
The stars adorn the blackness of your hair
Within your twinkles I am mesmerized
Confounded and elated by your orbit
Flung to the reaches of your constellations 

You are the the beginning and end of me
The resonance of all my notes
The answer to my need
My inner sanctum
The softness of my cravings
The realization of my wonder
The space within my understanding
The hope I breath
The suffocation of my fear
For with you I have come to know
What it means
To experience
Limitless
Passion

Dear Richard, the sea is a magnificent venue to explore in a passionate way and you stayed true to your theme throughout the entire write. My most romantic weekends were spent in my boat at sea. Wish I'd had someone like you with whom to share it. Sending a Soup Mail, my friend. Love and blessings for a great weekend, Carolyn

This poem finely illustrates masculine sensitivity, a unique quality of enamoured exploration Richard. The way you incorporate the natural elements into the fusion of your ability and her force's desire is very romantic. "I penetrate the force of your nature..." awesome physical and spiritual meaning! "Limitless passion" requires serious emotional endurance. J.A.B.

Hi Justin, your response illistrates your own deep understanding of a womans limitless passion. The right man can fully realize her possibilities and in the process experience a glimpse of eternity.

I don't know, Richard. Read the poem I'm about to post. Perhaps that will say something. I love your response to my post, Richard. I do...You first named me the Queen of the Romantic pen...what will I do if that pen runs dry? Thanks for the encouragement.
