Something More Than Just Skin Deep

Neville

Something More Than Just Skin Deep

 

I dare not tell you, just how much

I want to find that sacred place ..

Somewhere beneath the surface

of her skin ..

Where each one of those, sweet

honey hued, shy summer freckles

splashed so

very randomly across both cheeks

and of course,

that nose of hers, each choose to

hide in winter ..

Or indeed, just how much, I want

to take a running jump

and dive head first, into the pools

of deepest blue, those

she views each aspect of her entire

world through ..

And although, I have some way to go

Dear lord, I am

so grateful for my eyes, my fingertips

and for my tongue ..

Through each of which, I feel and see

and taste each day, a tiny piece of heaven ..

        • Bella Shepard

          This is a poem to truly dive into head first, and be immersed in the richness of sensuous words. There can be no doubt but that it is personal and dear. Thank you for sharing the fervor.

              Hi Neville, this is superb!
              Your observations, infatuations, and emotions are all delicately displayed in this poem.
              It's like seeing without having to open your eyes - something otherworldly, and mutual

              • Neville



                Hey Rocky, tis indeed good to see you here my friend .. Happy New Year to you and yours & thank you for stopping by πŸ™‚

                Spencer's legacy breathes
                within these very lines
                even in our loveless Time!
                (Amoretti, I: Happy ye leaves when as those lilly lands
                by by the great, Edmund Spencer:
                'Happy ye leaves when as those lilly hands,
                Which hold my life in their dead doing might
                Shall handle you and hold in loves soft bands,
                Lyke captives trembling at the victors sight.
                And happy lines, on which with starry light,
                Those lamping eyes will deigne sometimes to look
                And reade the sorrowes of my dying spright,
                Written with teares in harts close bleeding book.
                And happy rymes bath’d in the sacred brooke,
                Of Helicon whence she derived is,
                When ye behold that Angels blessed looke,
                My soules long lacked foode, my heavens blis.
                Leaves, lines, and rymes, seeke her to please alone,
                Whom if ye please, I care for other none.)
                simply Brilliant! dear Poet supreme
                forgive me
                for pasting Spencer's poem
                on your page,
                I just wanted you to be aware
                of how unquestionably, favourable
                your poetry
                compares to those of the great poet's in history
                (at least in my humble opinion)
                thank you! what a treat
                (this must be the prelude
                to 'Something more than just a Flutter'
                I had the line:
                'Just like some Hapless
                moth, perchance ..'
                running through my mind for days now)
                lol
                I sound like such a pathetic geek
                oh well
                try as I might, I can only be what I am...
                😎
