Thvia Shetley Poet Free verse

Suddenly

Suddenly there he was
taking words, taking breath
erasing every other memory
and there was only him.

Suddenly there was life,
an able, proffered hand
extended to resuscitate a soul;
to rejuvenate a heart.

Suddenly there was fire,
there were arms and mouths uncensored,
freely giving, freely taking,
exhausting of breath.

Suddenly there was safety,
there was patience; there was warmth,
the calm lightly dusting,
whispering a promise.

And suddenly there he was,
and suddenly there was love.

Thvia Shetley September 6, 2010 at 1:02 PM Indeed, I am quite female Cas... but I'm so glad to know my gender doesn't play a big role in my writing. I never thought on it before to be honest but since you raised the issue, I hope to write poetry that appeals to everyone and not be pigeonholed, if that makes sense. You have paid me quite a nice compliment, thank you!

Cas Davis September 6, 2010 at 10:10 AM I like this one; symmetrical and not too mushy for a love poem... are you female? I was guessing male from the name and writing style.
