Click hereIt's in the pauses
those spaces between
what has been
and what will be
Blinded eyes
don't need to see
the mischievous curl
of a lip or the heat
deep in hazel
to know
It's there in the silences
consumed by the beat
the pulse of "I want"
"I need"
To wait
for the words
the touch that is
more than skin deep
to come

What an inspiring piece of poetry. Loved it.
Also, Thank you for your kind words.
greenmountaineerover 8 years agoVery nice, Lyricalli, certainly deserving of Mer's recommendation in PF&D.
The rhythm had a sensuous beat for me, and I prefer erotic poetry that is more suggestive than descriptive, which this one is. The sense of anticipation you've created is very erotic.
Someone once wrote that every word used in a poem should be chosen with intention. At first, I was taken back by "Blinded" because it could suggest "blindsided" as well as "blindfolded," but that's not the case, given stanzas 3&4, and for the life of me, I couldn't think of an acceptable substitute.
I also liked the way "It" tied stanzas 1&2 with 3&4 together and added to the anticipation by peaking the reader's interest in determining what "it" means.
