Wondering...

Sometimes it just works....

 

I had a feeling we'd make love at least twice

The night we met in Providence

There is a flawlessness about your presence in this world

One that had me walking on tipped toes

Before I ever got a whiff of your neck

 

I had a feeling that we'd fill the near dawn hours

With things that felt larger than life, like your eyes

On that couch that was made for thinking and kissing

And for making love in the twisted lamp light

You'd tell me your likes and they'd match my own

 

I had a feeling that your skin would be soft and sweet

And draped alluringly over shapely bones and taut muscle

My gaze glued to your bare backside as you lured me down the hall

You'd ask if I was ok when I got quiet

And I'd smile and bury my face in your neck and breathe

 

Yeah...

 

Author's Note

Yes, I am a romantic at heart, yes I have a heart, no I have never been to Providence.

[Amanda Trerotola]

Wow! This is beautifully written.

[Crowley]

Thank you so much for the review, sorry for the slow response was on vacation. You Rock!!!

Indeed, as you say, sometimes, it just works. And we just know and can feel the next thing that's going to happen, before it does. It's like time travelling, only in seconds and minutes. The reason this poem reads different than most romantic poems. A romantic at heart, yes, but there's a quietly analytical mind working here too. I don't know if I'm sounding coherent. English is not my first language. A Beautifully put together poem, Crowley.

[Crowley]

Your English is very good, and thank you so much. You're point is well written and taken. I do try and write from between the spaces, and I work for a reality that people can instantly identify with, not s much from the outside, but those places we rarely speak about in public.

[Dhara_Ditzy Kat]

Indeed, we can feel and convey so much more when we write that way. Great observers make great writers.

Wow.... just beautiful... :)
If that isn't romance in the sweetest way... beautifully done..
I was there felt like watching a couple so in love...
And that last part was just awsome...to bury your face into your lovers neck is a sweet feeling isn't it...taking in their scent...and I guess that feeling of peace is something else ...
I enjoyed reading this a lot.. :)

[Crowley]

Thanks Girl!!!! Yes that is a great feeling, especially if she has wet hair...lol, sorry its a thing.

[Ardra]

Wet hair hehe... okies...each has their own things... :)

[Mrudula Rani]

You have a huge loving heart and it's full of romance. All your feelings about a night of love are breathtakingly beautful.

[Crowley]

I try!!!!! I probably write it better than I execute it in real life. But that would be fun wouldn’t it??? Thank you!!!!

[Mrudula Rani]

You are most welcome.

"making love in the twisted lamp light." Oh yes!!! Those couches were certainly much more accommodating than the back seat of a Ford...not that I would know, mind you. ; )

[Crowley]

Yeah, I’ve heard the backseat of an Audi Fox is just as uncomfortable, friend told me. And when the cops come knocking it can be even worse. Thanks girl, I’ll still hold your modesty close to my chest!

[Kelly Scheppers]

Lol, I appreciate that!

Aren't we all, and don't we all suffer from heartfulness...
I HAVE been to Providence, but Provincetown is where the real action is.
Man, you have a THING for necks and behinds, don'tcha...
Really nice imagery; I like it.
The steaminess was there...I am still fanning my face, although there was no actual sex,I could sense its nearness. It was RIGHT THERE; behind the potted ficus...just waiting in the wings.

[Crowley]

Haaa!!! Thanks. Usually it the creamy thighs I get accused of loving, but I’ll take it all in a pinch. Thanks so much!!!

[angel]

Here's to creamy thighs--long may they wave...
