REAL LOVE (2004)

Your breath, slow and easy in my ear
Sounded like a milk-warmed rest
Of a sleep-lazy newborn dozing at the chest
Of a mother whose sleepless hours
Was rewarded - as sweet as meadow flowers-
When the love within you was finally spent,
All your needs fulfilled.
And I had urged wished and willed
To bring about this explosion
That washed over you like the deepest ocean.

Throbbing seed and singing blood you let it go
Went with the need inside you that showed
How much you needed this bliss.
Wet skin to skin, we weakly kissed
As you, my love, still shivering
With the heavens awakening
All that you needed to feel,
I held you, kissed you, till sleep made you still.
Once sleep had taken you I didnt have to hide it:
As you breathed and slept I finally sighed it..

No years seemed harsh on your face as the light
Was softened by the approaching night
The street light shone amber through the glass
Made you beautiful, young as if this would last
Forever, you safe in loves embrace
With life's hurts and stresses taken out of your face.
As you rested in my arms
The moment was still and warm and calm.
So I whispered the words, quietly:
I said, "I love you."
And you slept on, and breathed so easily.

Took several tries to get into this; not the poet's fault, the reader's — much too hyper at first. A soothing, calming, romantic read that slowly envelops the reader so that when you get to those three words, it's very, "but, of course; what did you expect?"

Love it!

This is just a beautiful love poem. The images paint clear pictures and the pacing seems just right. I feel like shaping it a bit more would bring out even more clearly what a delicately measured piece of writing this is. A very enjoyable read that will be recommended in the new poems review thread on Lit's Poetry Feedback and Discussion forum. :)
