From the moment his eyes found mine, I felt him wrapping me in a silk cocoon... held closely within the warmth of his arms. I was aware of the threads he was weaving when our lips met in a lover's dance... the long sweeping steps of a waltz the kind that sensually begets romance. My thoughts crashed like waves rushing ashore. I wanted more of tasting his tongue than mere sips, relishing it like fine wine. One glass would not be enough as he thrust deeper in rhythmic motion. I was writing a romantic Sonnet in my head. Sweet, were the lines in my mind flowing like the juices of sensual embraces, while swallowing the moans of each other's passion. My fingers were torn between scribbling notes and devoting them to fondling the hair at his nape. There was no escaping the web he'd spun. It held me, not as a prisoner but a willing captive, waiting and wanting to be savored and devoured. I let go of my pen and gave up trying to write. I was breathless, no longer able to think of rhyme, emotions climbing to reach the greatest height. Thunder was roaring in every beat of my heart. I closed my eyes when the first lightning strike warned me... the storm was fast approaching.

Hi Lin, I loved the way the writer is torn between her thoughts and the sensual pull of succumbing to her loin passions. This one is intriguing in it's intensity. Enjoyed

Your thoughts on these lines are greatly appreciated, Nancy. I wasn't sure anyone would comprehend the type of storm I was having my female character feeling. I'm sure you did and so, I thank you for your insight and taking time to read and leave your comments.

I enjoyed the romantic and sensual nature of your poem; I also felt the impending doom of a stormy relationship. The narrator lost herself in the turbulent storm and I wondered if she ever freed herself from the turbulence. I found your poem engaging and captivating. Well done. Have a great evening, hugs, Sara

Actually, my path was a wee bit more gratifying than that kind of storm. She was lost, but the storm that was coming for her was one of a more intimate nature. Thanks, Sara, and this shows that when poetry is left to every reader's interpretation, it's a journey everyone takes, sometimes ending up in different places. Hope your weekend is super sweet for you and Bill.
