Wait, and Then

~ As the week ends in stumbling hours of eve, may the sun kiss your lips while I sleep in the arms of dreams unrefined-- I may not be with you in gentle times caved by my need for privacy, but, remember me as I send you an embrace brushed by moonlight.. humbling myself in your presence not, still, wait for me to disrobe this stillness while you can, and then… remember days like other days, when I cuddle your delicate body against mine, oh so ready to claim our space: eyes locked tender and ablaze... O wait for me until then ~ 4/25/2017 And Then Contest for John Lawless

This is a lovely lyrical piece Nettie that with just a little bit of changes could become a lovely song. Romantic lines that share so much. 7 ; )

This poem is a euphoric masterpiece Nette. Your words are never read by me for they float to me and touch me and I absorb them as I gaze upon the page, Absolutely beautiful. Much luck my friend in the contest.

Your mind set flows onto the page and we can relate with the moment portrayed, and where your words of seduction lead us, for the emotions cling to this piece like a second skin. Emile. #7
