Loving You.

We met by chance,

And became lovers by choice.

I’ll still remember our first kiss,

Long after you’ve forgotten our last.

 

I stay awake to watch you sleep,

Lingering in the aftermath of your touch.

The moon and its mistress watch in anticipation

As I smoulder in the heated bliss that is you.

 

Your touch burns with desire

And I hear you whisper

“never mind the darkness love,

that’s where the stars shine brightest”

 

Our emotions take motion

plunging to depths I have never known

we become one, I melt in the ecstasy of your embrace

and I lose myself in the adventure of loving you..

I will be brutally honest. When I saw the stock photo I thought 'oh Bugger. Erotic drivel'. Based upon the ammount of erotic writers who use stock photo's to titilate.

Miss. I am a moron.

I am a moron, because, had I followed my original impulse to move onto another poem of yours I would have missed a truly beautiful and heart lifting poem. I am a moron, for not engaging from the very start with the sheer love that shines through every line of this work. I am a moron for nearly missing another truly wonderful work.

Not only is it a wonderful poem of love, it is an exceptionally well written poem of love. Rarer than you might think. It is very difficult to sum up a moment, more so to encapsulate an emotion. You have done both. Superb work. You are a gifted artist.

I am still a moron, but learning

Thank you. You are right about the image I decided to use though. But I guess we are both still learning. Thanks again.

On reflection, the image does work. The problem is not your use, but the overuse by second rate erotica. Sorry if that sounds harsh. I would keep the image. And it is a superb work

[Sourodip]

Sensual, erotic and passionate. The poem is very coherent and free flowing, each line just leads to others. Enjoyed reading it.
Specially the part where you say....''“never mind the darkness love,
that’s where the stars shine brightest”
And i also love the way you ended it. Yeah love is an endless adventure and ecstasy.

Awesome
hot
deep
powerful poem.
I just adore the second stanza, I can imagine watching someone sleep, just to bathe in the reality of their presence and love. This was really wonderfully written.
I enjoyed the idea that the romance would be an adventure, and the way that you wrote this I can see a moment at night, watching him sleep at the same time that I gain perspective on what you are feeling throughout the thing.
Fantastic job!

[Little Whisper]

Two souls blending as one through love... glorious love. This is a wonderful poem. :)

As it's this pure with true love... wonderfully spoken.
“never mind the darkness love,
that’s where the stars shine brightest”
As this is it... a lot are still searching for,
Wonderful poetry!

E.L. p.s. Ek gaan heel gou meer van jou mooi werke lees. Veel liefs uit Nederland

[Liderien]

This is beautiful!

[Laura Maidah]

I love the "aftermath of your touch". It's a nice twist to a used line.

[Orlando Furioso]

I think the chance/choice point is well made, both are needed. And I esp like the last line. Here's to adventure in love!
