Description
sensual temptresswhisper sweet words through
crimson lips for me
promises of nights spent
drinking wine and sharing
one another
paint me visuals too taunting
for me to be melancholy
as they play out
inside my mind.
beautiful woman
stain my skin with
lipstick and perfume
wearing both upon my body
coming in contact with
your touch
pleasant dreams, you whisper
of bodies linked together
and hearts merged as one
dearest lover
steal the daylight hours
leaving kisses upon my memories
scattered about for me to find
as though we're playing
a game of hide and seek
melt away the painful moments
with the fire of passion and longing
of desire for only you
thief of my heart
leave me with the gaze of
emerald eyes, penning promises
of when we'll be together
that it shall be worth the days spent
in solitary reverie
touching air and reaching for you
only to come up empty
tell me that the day shall come
when it's your skin I touch
sensual temptress
beautiful woman
dearest lover
thief of my heart
darling angel
i wait alone for you

powerful, but very sad. You can feel the yearning, the longing just from reading it.

"...stain my skin with lipstick and perfume"
"...steal the daylight hours leaving kisses upon my memories scattered about for me to find as though we're playing a game of hide and seek."

I have to admit, when I loged on, I didn't expect to see any poetry. But since I saw it, I choose to read it. And I have to admit, I am not disapointed. Though it's a little hard to follow in the begining with the way it seems to be worded together, I still liked the immage you painted with this peice.

Thank you kindly.
Very spur-of-the-moment. My lowercase pieces are, as often they're thrown together from a thought or a phrase. I appreciate the honest assessment.

Probally as a writer my self, I see things that some other's can't. And while 90% of my peices are thrown together as well, I can see how hard it is to just do them spur of the moment.

Quite. However, one rides the lightning when one can.
