Sweetest Desire

on this autumn breeze
your scent carries
alluring me
...i crave you

i can almost touch you
through imagination
i caress your edges
with gentle strokes
of my fingertips
...i desire you

i can feel you
against my lips
playfully teasing
tempting me
to follow
outside
of dreams
...i need you

i am weakened
within this temptation
i long to indulge
in the depths of you
and the pleasure you bring
...knowing you are forbidden

one weakened moment
wrapped in tender kisses
could be my demise
...i bid you farewell

my sweetest desire

Temptation is near and forbidden...leaving the valley of curses, abandoning yourself for forever love. Nicely done.

Beautifully sensual and brimming with sweet desire but it leaves me wondering...who or what is that sweetest desire and why are you saying good bye to it? I'm sure it is wrapped up in the sugary goodness of this amazing poem but I just can't seem to find it.You are amazing my friend.

Thank you my friend, I am afraid I must say goodbye to the sweetest kisses in the world... delectable chocolate ones. Sugar’s not my friend, but I am glad you are... hugs :)
