The Taste of You

Sweeter than nectar
More succulent than honey dew
Reminiscent of all that I adore 
I long for the taste of you

Like a tall glass of lemonade on a hot summer’s day
Or the cool April rain that tumbles down in May 
I long for the taste of you 

Like  providing sustenance that quenches her thirst
After long lonely drought has famished our beloved mother earth
I long for the taste of you 

Like springs first showers encouraging flowers to bloom
Cultivating  my soil, your nourishment is consumed
I long for the taste of you

Like being drawn to your flame like a moth to a fire
Mesmerized by your flames
It’s a burning desire
I long for the taste of you

Like missing you before your gone and hoping that you’ll stay
Like smelling the sweetness of your skin
Even when your miles away
I long for the taste of you 

Like reaching a never ending, peak of ecstasy
Like felling your love deep inside me
I long for the taste of you 

Like looking into your eyes as you look back into mine
When we make love it’s always as precious as our first time
Like the calm after the storm when our bodies intertwine.

That’s why  
 I long for the touch, for the taste
For the your presence
For the essence of you

" long for the touch, for the taste For the your presence For the essence of you" very easy to flow this way when your heart is driving...I encourage you to utilize this amazing gift to the FULLEST. do not hold back. Listen to EXACTLY what the voice says to you. Write it ALL down. Don't stop. You have something rare. I don't read much poetry because frankly it makes me sick. But this, I could read all day!. TRUTH. You can't teach this talent. keep in touch.
