Skin, on skin - on skin, skin
fingers, caressing back of head
fingers, grabbing hair
fingers, equipped - with enough heat
to melt Winter, into late-Summer's flames
shoulders, burning - a lava serenade
arms, goosepimple - frozen
fingertips, piano dancing on skin-tight jeans
searing, heat on - heat - on heat
culminating, succumbing to a stolen breath;
lips and tongues linger – teasing, enticing
reached-for, sensual Ignition
too late, for embarrassment’s restraint
Stars decreed - we’re, all-in
this: is that irreversible, in Fate.
Give-in, surrender
Time, swimming in stagnant forever
No past
No tomorrow
No consequence
even Pain, of memory's
of calloused heart's
of knowing – strained, sighs
regress, to offer a moment's peace
Just, now
Just, you
Just, me
Us!
Burning, yearning - fearing
when this dream, ends
will we – too, awake
to another
well-trodden – tale
of trampled hope’s: trails?
Another, nightmare
waiting, to lull us in
or, maybe
Please!
Can, We - create
something, genuine and lasting
with integrity of loyalty:
Finally!
For once will blinked forgotten, passion
not, be - warped
into momentary attraction’s: futile intoxication
fuelling, a lifetime’s - sentence
of regretted, frustration.
Clasped hands
playfully, intertwine
as exhilaration’s exhaled, steam
reignites, a tingling - expectant skin
hair - in eyebrows, hair draping ears
hair glued - to everything
overwhelming, nerve-endings
sweat
dripping
our
Amazon’s, rainforest of humidity scenes
recreated
in fogging, Moon-spotlighted windows.
How, can anything this
sensual, this subtle
this: sacred, harm us?
Even, eventually – if Beatifically warped
corrupted
as poisoning of Love’s, purity
at a flippant, flip
of reactionary, inflamed words
of entitled, petulance
dampening, Romance’s tired flames
to unveil
yet another: shattered furnace
of once, volcanic dreams.
Still, while shooting Stars
exist
We too, refuse
to wilt, in-face
of Time’s, relentless thieving
just, one captured moment
of serene stillness
in a comforting, soft smile
is enough: defiance
for our wishing well’s - to believe;
as We, stubbornly - pull closer
elongated, sipped breathes
to let our pulsating pace, reset
before resuming: willingly.
Choosing, bravely
to invest wholly
in this, our serendipitous
gifted night of opportunity!
Please
let our, new Beginning
be
that Spring, of Nature’s - unflinching
Veracity
all those deathless Poet’s
inked
in-to, sizzling words: of intoxicating sensuality.

Isn’t a moment of heat fades away
A long lasting love stays
A deep imagery runs through
Maybe its a different kind of heal
These lines -
Give-in, surrender
Time, swimming in stagnant forever
No past
No tomorrow
No consequence
Though it took a different meaning for me
meaning, is - in itself,
meaningfully, its own Poetry;
although two sets of eyes
look upon, the same view
they will never be, two identical
mind's or heart's
to think or feel, with meaningful likeness
but never, quite
too much, alike
to destroy nature's gift, of diversity
in our quintessential: humanity
in that, simple truth
rests the beauty, in all-things
Poetry.
"Beauty is truth, truth beauty,--that is all
Ye know on earth, and all ye need to know."

Neville
well, trust you Hyung
to go and highlight, my favourite part
imbued in those words, you chose
is all my motivation for scribbling this write..
thank you!
There's alot of 'loss' behind those words. A longing which wants so desperately to overcome the fear of heartache. It's not loving which harms us so, but the withdrawl of that loving one-ness which leaves us so alone and betrayed maybe.
I can feel these words of yours today are really heartfelt words and capture much of loves 'one-ness' upon the page/screen. As could only be written by a soul who has been there in the real 'touchy-feelie world' of life.
'from your pen
to her heart...'
how very insightful of you Dusk
I thank you! with the utmost sincerity
Jesus, H, *****. What a read. I'm sure other people have a different view, but to me this would come from a place of sheer desire, almost obsessive rage, or of a love so deep no one could possibly understand it. This was a wild ride, and I enjoyed the playful language and structure. A job well done, L.B.
I agree, when lost in the initial purity
of attraction and love
sometimes desire, tip toes
the borders of obsession..
what a fantastically poetic comment
thank you, dear Poet
Wow - how glad I am not to have missed this breath of inspired imagery on coupling for love's sake and hoping togetherness lasts forever - a perfectly scribed reason to hold tight to its sacredness.
"Choosing, bravely
to invest wholly
in this, our serendipitous
gifted night of opportunity."
the above words did it for me Mek and I relate wholly . A great read.
'how glad I am not to have missed'
I recall these words, from your very first comment
on my very first scribble (I think)
years later, and your kindness
never falters in your willing support
and endless encouragement, for that
and much more, I thank you
wholeheartedly, dear Fay
this poem is a rising tide of true love
thank you! means a lot
coming from an intuitive Poet
of your caliber
May that new beginning be filled with love and wonder forever Mek.
Andy
Amen!
"fingers, equipped - with enough heat
to melt Winter, into late-Summer's flames" - It does not get more flammable than this. I love how it unfolds, petal by petal. A truly lovesome thing! - Thank you, fellow writer. I am inspired!
Awesome!
best words, a fellow scribbler
can wish to receive, as praise
'let us all
continue, to inspire each other
and push our Poetry's wings
to soar, ever higher'
thank you! dear Poet
Let me experience your poem ‘just once’, and then I’ll feed off its memories
that's just majestic, what a nourishing comment
to a wannabe poet's, lonesome heart!
thank you! kind Poet
Just now
Just you
Just me
Just us_
Your word ignited and life to love and longing. great job.
just an outpouring of instinctive wording
had I tried to write these words
during a moment of cold level headedness
I would have dismissed them
as mere worded theatrics
but for this scribble and at that stage
of the impassioned expression, conveyed
I too: like to think it fits,
such is the wonderment
of inking ourselves naked..
(really appreciate you taking the time
to look back and read, how very kind)
Fantastic. This, and your other poems, display your impressive ability to convey the deepest, most human emotions in the fewest of words. I wish you luck in your career
what a generous soul, you've cultivated
and choose, to share with the world
humbly, I thank you!
Very sensual and beautiful written I really enjoyed reading
Awesome!
Especially since your writing encouraged me
to attempt something, so blatantly transparent
I'm usually much more guarded in my poetry.
thank you!
I thought it was Brill I really enjoyed it
