You, with your back to me
My basketball shorts and office shirt
Hanging all over you
Your hair, wagging its tail rhythmically
Ponytail comfort
While back of your neck, seduces me
Those small hairs, revealed
With each sway of your ponytail’s flair
Are making music with my heartstrings
Then that classy touch of pearl droplets
Gleaming sunshine gaiety on a cloudy day
Defenceless, I approach stealthily
Desperate to not disturb
Such a sacred moment
This be, that evolutionary rarity for a lady
Feeling free to let your guard down brazenly
Bravely, my stuttering hand’s
Tiptoe around your waist
Knowingly, you fall back into my embrace
Wordlessly, in-sync
As I close my eyes and worship
Feel of you
Taking breath, upon my chest
Beloved, I think this is what
All their wars and inflated bank accounts
Can never triumph over, shall never vanquish
Simplicity of two heart’s lost in poetic symmetry
These words I ink, testimony to a love
Insatiably innate
Sanctity of love’s, reciprocated veracity
Impossible to taint
I lay my fingers upon my chest, years later
There it remains, a moment anchored deep
Within that pivotal essence of my existence
Beloved, when I reply I love you more
This is why
Together, with everything else about you
That drives me wild
Yet, gifts me serenity in but a quirky smile

Beautiful writing Mek )) lovely words

L.B. I dive deeper than the surface of this loving song of praise to love. To me it encompasses love of all that one holds dear that "wars and inflated bank accounts" can never take away from us. A lovely ode.
a beautiful interpretation, wise Poet
indeed, anything inked in the name
of triumphant love, surpasses
romance, to encompass
any n all things, deemed
'a beloved' to someone..
(thank you! for adding a valuable
depth, to my humble words)
So well said. Your usual lovely words.
JP
thank you! dear Poet
that 'usual' I shall treasure
as a meaningful word of encouragement
I hope everyone who reads your beautiful words can relate.
Amen!
(I wholeheartedly cherish
the sheer humanity in your words
thank you! dear Poet)
Passionate!
(in the face of love, passion
is absolute
all else, is a mere impression
of the real thing...)
thank you dear poet
so glad you enjoyed the read
Such a beautiful moment you capture in this poem, the power of touch which says it all. I love the image of laying fingers upon your chest to stir a memory so sweet. Thank you dear poet, it is such a fav!
and your comments, similarly
'are such a fav!' dear cherished friend
thank you! you humble me
how well you wield words brother Mek .. be proud .. I know I am for you ..
Hyung, this thing we do
is kinda great
when we get it
kinda right
even if once, in awhile
(thank you! dear Poet supreme
if you say so
then I shall wear my collars up
all weekend long)
😎
Beautiful moment to capture, your words breathed a fresh breath to such lasting moments.
thank you, dear poet
how very kind, glad you enjoyed the read
(reliving, is as good as it gets
'after the fact'
or if we get lucky, we may get a chance
at recreating
a similar memento, we can but dream)
