Your Man

Your man O' fallen leaf of barren branch doth charge my heart, my aching heart with missing you, needing you On sun dried earth I lay, grasping at my dreams, so desperate, find that in this depth felled by wind of colder days, my life doth need your touch so very much it calls to thee, come to me, cover me shower me with hope ~ so far you stand ~ I feel as if I am a tiny creature, an ant on the pavement with cracks and crevice deep Foundling for the distance far, searching of a path to reap to thy heart, thy arms O' breath of love I beg thee home, to lie with you this eve, this winters eve of far off arches and grayish glare ~ My travels take me long away Places I am lost to stay find this man a’ crying tears of love for thee, tears of despair Crying, weeping, hoping, begging, come to me, come to me my love, my dream into my open arms ~ waiting ~ The day might fill the emptiness with broken branches barren so dare I say I have the right to honor love from you, hold it so within my heart aching My needs are many, the truth has shown for languished features painted hard, hard against my weathered skin, rough, broken I scream, my voice still faint of tone, louder as is nothing less sorted by the evening breeze blowing strong against the fence ~ I desire thee to touch me, kiss me, hold me, take me The flames of passion brightly burn igniting but this love I hold So cherished is your heart I feel it pounding, pulsing within mine own chest My quest is you and only you, design me, I am yours, make me as you would, carve me, bend me, mould me, sculpt me to be ~ your man Good night Soupers Ok, I got carried away a little. : )

Pure, unfeigned emotions w/strong romantic yearnings. I agree totally w/John, a great mix of Old English style prose and soulful free verse. Another masterpiece of poetry. Your usual standard, I presume. A 7 and fave. Get the combo for this sensitive samba. L& P ~ always.

WoW! Chris, you have truly penned a masterpiece. It's a work of art for sure. You caused the reader to feel the longing, desire, desperation and the deep passion, that the character in this write had to be with the one they loved.I found reading this write to be so intesnse.Because I felt everything you wrote about. Maybe you should get carried away more often. A without a doubt seven :-) Alexis PS, Good night my friend.
