Notes About The Poem

Image- Imgur.com

It was suggested that I place my photo here.

I am not one to place my photo with poems. 

I understand how the reader wishes to see who is behind the words.

 

Treasure Me

Sand sweeps over, as the sweet salty air
tickles every part of my being,
tracing curves

Temptation can be overwhelming,
for someone like you

Seek and you shall find
beyond the surface

Even a grown man likes to get dirty,
play lost and found

It’s like

Maturity takes a rest from reality,
and you become as a child


Trust me when I say
“I want to connect the dots with you too”

A game perhaps,
but I am willing to seize the moment

However

I wonder how long the wait will be - -
even someone like me,
needs setting free

Seek and you shall find,
unravel the mystery

Of course

I like knowing you could hold me,
like a whisper
gentle as the wind,
never letting go

Still, I wait for you
because X marks the spot,
and a man will not ask for directions


The sweet salty air
moves over my tender form

How long will it be,
until you find

and,

Treasure Me

Brandy: I'm an old fella and stuff like this gets my heart racing at dangerous levels. My romantic stuff is pretty much summed up in my work : One of Life's Treasures. I believe it is at the bottom of my current listings. Keep writing. Maybe it will help loosen my cholesterol blockages. :o) oldbuck

Oldbuck, I didn't mean to get your heart racing. This is just a playful poem from my pen. It wasn't my idea to place my photo here. It was suggested that I do. I appreciate your comment. :) Your thoughts bring a smile. ~ Brandy

Very beautiful picture and poetry. Males being genetically geared toward physical beauty, we are blessed also in appreciating intellectual beauty in poetry whether it is written my male or female poet. Yours always gives both.. A fav, as this is a gem..

Dear Robert, you are right in saying that men focus mostly on physical beauty. (I wasn't sure about placing my photo here, because of that fact) Thank you for seeing beyond the surface. Of me. I appreciate you placing this in your favorites. You being the only one. I wasn't expecting that. Many wonderful blessings to you. ~ Brandy

A fun take on hide and seek. Some men are adept at following directions and are very familiar with the X factor. ;0)

Every breath of this poem is romantic..every sound inviting. Your poem flows like a daydream..but as real as the emotions it depicts and evokes. Splendid write, indeed! Enjoyed the read, Brandy.
