The Poem

it's the rarefied feelings
where you linger
in depths of mind
becoming the chirography
of my eternal soul

in a climax
of thoughts
you become
my poem
and i the poet

i lay you down
on sheets of white
in a fingered touch
like a poet's pen

play with you
amidst words
through confines
of darkness
as they erupt
in the rise
and fall 
of winded breaths
leaving me
lusting for more
than metaphorical
writes of poetry

Sigh! A poem that has feelings and emotions of it's own, one that tempts and teases, one that is soft and alluring, one that makes the reader breathless, one that creates dreams and one that speaks in a whispered tone for only the poem to hear. This was amazing, such a beautiful piece of writing.

This wows me, beginning with my love for blank paper and its potential and my own romantic fantasy play this resonates with me. It is both erotic in intensity and innocent in truth to captivate a reader. Profound, too. Don't ever put that pen down! Poetry hugs ... CayCay
