Still Wishing

Still wishing 

Along the lines of fantasy
with crystal glasses flowing the brim
Soft hands would meet on white linen,
as your eyes take me places I have never been

Silence tingles while our hearts speak
across candle flame and glittered dreams
Such is the beauty of this night
neither belong, yet here we are

Fears generate passion
on this perfect evening so young,
and our love forbidden, taboo
but breathing of temptation

Lips ignite a fire within,
looking over shoulders for whoever
only finding desires calling
in the mist of the crowded city

Scented bliss finds me,
arms reach for a touch, long hot touch
behind closed doors
holding back all but the guilt

Still a fever burns as skin blushes
beneath moon lit intoxication
Silhouettes merge, moist in cravings
lone of simpler moments

Fingers dance and sighs sing,
satin sheets spill to unsuspecting floors
when deep in the throws is found, 
words have no meaning

Whispers lose their bearing
as oceans part and white foam pleasure
caresses the smooth shore
on this uncharted island called love

Startled by the waiter refilling my glass
I still see you across the room
lingering in his smile, lost in his hypnotic gaze 
and here I sit, still . . . wishing it were me


Good night Soupers

Awww, that's painful, it almost feels like my longing for my long distance love. It's tantalizing, so close, and still not true. You can feel it, and it evades you. Sleep well, Chris.

I don't know how you do it! One lovely love poem after another, but this one with a comic twist. Enjoyed it, Chris.
