Clocks have been coaxed
back and forth, storms
have come and gone,
and you went away without a word
but finally returned to me.
Quietly I sit in the chair
and watch you asleep in our bed;
the silver hairs on your chest
mirrored in the moonlight.
I do not wish to disturb you,
but for my own sanity,
I must slip between you
and the sheets
and curl my nude body against yours.
Should my fragrance startle
you, I will apologize
with kisses. For now, fortify
me with your arms and let your
sentries guard my spine
as I make your chest my home.
Do not stir at the rise of my rosy
blooms against your skin,
or the feel of my belly
flat against yours.
Sleep now, my love, and dream.
But come daybreak,
my hips will not be patient,
my hands will not be stilled,
and my legs will not be shy
as they open to you
like the garden glories
in the morning sun.

unpredictablebijoualmost 16 years agoand carefully constructed. Nice job. If I were editing this, I'd say that while the 'backstory' of his absence and return are obviously an important piece of the story for you, they may actually be distracting for a reader. The images, the sensory experience, and what the narrator is planning are the real focus here. But that's a tiny quibble; it's a fine piece.
sassynycalmost 16 years agothis is sweetly erotic. the imagery is beautiful. it has a gentle but passionate pace. this is a wonderful read.
champagne1982almost 16 years agoQuietly seductive as you paint the imagery around your love. I think you slipped into somewhat of a cliché as your poem slipped between the sheets but you roused the novelty with your morning. This poem is mentioned on the New Poems Review thread on Literotica's Poetry Feedback and Discussion forum.
KOLKOREalmost 16 years agoVery seductive, I doubt the late Austin would have approved such bold expressions of passion (although she most likely would have enjoyed the pasiion...)
