The Urgent Flesh

As sun smiled a last few moments
on our warm, trembling rock,
and I sat behind you in the breeze,
your skin visibly welcomed
touch of sunset, touch of air
and touch of worshipful hands.
I'd have ravished you there
but for the uncertainty of the day.
Your breasts grew urgent
under my audacious touch,
and your skin threatened
to burst into a myriad rays
of warmly chilled daylight.
I was not quite sure
whether your luxurious flesh 
surrendered to the touch 
of that flirtatious summer breeze
or surrendered to the touch
of my infatuated hands.
It satisfied me then, there,
to think that it might be both.

A very sensual poem on the intimacy in a relationship, whether in be brief or long term. With love comes trust, with trust comes understanding, with time comes clarity. The depths of your poems are always powerful. A fav... God bless..

Thanks for stopping by, Si, comments appreciated. As for entering any kind of contest with this one... hell, I almost didn't post it at all in the first place ! It's a quite radical departure from my regular works.

Very tender, sensuous write my friend--loved the teasing words that tell the story so expertly. Romance dwells in your poem, Lawrence.
