Lover

she is a poem,
electric brush of moonlight
stroking naked flesh

she is a poem,
crimson rush of forest fire
burning hidden dells

she is a poem,
the heated blush of verses
written on my soul

  4. And my heart skipped a beat .. So hot and sensual it captivated my eyes and bewitched my soul.

    I couldn’t help but hear “moonlight” and “burning” eacho your voice.
    With thrilling verses like this, the crush keeps experiencing rippled effect. 😀
    Loved it!!!

      1. It’s way beyond what I could ever dream of. I’ve committed the poem to memory for safekeeping 🙂 until you have time to read it 🙂

  13. Awesome. And that photo is spectacular too. I love that you referred to ‘her’ as a poem. There is this author and musician that I really admire named, Michael Card. He wrote a song called, “The Poem of Your Life”. If interested check it out here:

  16. My turn, wow! I have no idea how you feel about re-blogs as I am still very new to your site; but if it is okay with you, I’d like to re-blog this. Please let me know. You’ve been very kind and supportive and it’s at least one way to say thank you.

      1. Hi Ryan. I took a much needed break from wp, and am just seeing your message now. You are most welcome. You are very encouraging in terms of my writing and I appreciate it. This was just a very small way of saying thank you. 🙂
