Perfect Sense

That special connection of lovers

Your fingers
playing through
my greying strands …
touches trace gently,
spurring hot flares
of blushing cheek.

Your lips grace mine
perfectly, warmly;
my heart skips sooo …
I cannot speak.

Whisp'ring
hot words of love;
ohhh, the warming
caress of your hands,
skimming places of desire
upon my frame’s smoothly
undulating lands.

Your sparkling eyes,
diamonds so pure
reflect in mine;
such perfect
intensity!

Sans words …
in sweet understood silence
of our private language,
that, to us, makes
Perfect Sense.

Very intense. Excellent, Amber. You remind us that a full life is better shared with love. Nice person that you are, you choose your words and imagery well so as not to draw out the demons -- but to keep it clean. My venture into the poetic world of steamy love found the euphemisms sounded ineffectual and diffusing. To paint steamy reality requires earthquake words. Being a nice guy (since I reformed), I follow your lead these days. I like the Interesting choice of very demure "lands." Dabbling in such topic was hindered by lack of experience. It was daunting to access the feminine mystique I had the good fortune to consult an accomplished lady writer about the nuts and bolts of raw novel stuff. You own this (nicer) technique, but I could share her guidance if you wish to trip through bee-infested fields of clover. I drifted away from such non-pious indulgences. At my age, avoidance is the best medicine. lol

Your review is most appreciated. I cannot take all the credit (except for "undulating lands") as my first version was given a polish by Richard, as credited. I am always grateful for guidance. My best wishes to you.

Thank you. As am I, although sometimes it is superfluous, often erasing spontaneity. You write well.

the best language of love? the silent language, no need for words to be spoken when actions speak much louder...i like the mute intensity that evolves from this very romantic write.

Like the simplicity of the looks, only lovers can see.
That flick of the eye to start the playful game of love.
It is a silent language, but silence can be very intense.

Gentle, sweet and wonderful words shared Amber. When love is right, it is everlasting and never forgotten. Thank you for sharing the amazing poetry.

Richard has also helped me and I'm grateful. These words of yours have a warmth to them that makes you want to hold someone right away. What follows that embrace can be heaven and the intimacy of lovemaking. You can't beat that.

Nice writing, Amber. :)

[Sarah K Cass]
