Love Lies Dormant

Cut me and I bleed

Hurt me and I feel pain

Touch me and you will awaken

the light of desire within me

 

For love lies dormant

in the depth of my heart

a lost dream

an echo of things longed for

yet unseen

 

Wild and untamed

boundless and alive

love fights to be set free

from its prison of dreams

 

I long to experience

the fullness of love

to be entwined forever

in the arms of a kindred soul

to love and be loved

to float away on a cloud of delight

 

I want to become lost

in the eyes of the one I love

to melt into a kiss of pure bliss

to tremble forever

in loves embrace

forever cherished

forever safe

Enchanting, love this write of 'love' and expectations. Woo, if only, eh? It's straightforwardness allows the reader to luxuriate in every word....

'to tremble forever
in loves embrace
forever cherished
forever safe'

Don't you just love the word 'tremble'? ;-)
Great read Carolann, a definite favorite!

the deserted plain of my heart
if watered by the touch of your bliss
wat a breath it will be
as if nature will sing a song with me!

A dormant love is like a cocoon ready to metamorphosis into
a butterfly floating on enthusiastic wings of love. I like what
you did with this piece, nicely done...

[Carolann Dowsett]

Thank you :)

If I received this as a poem to me I would certainly surrender and melt. I feel a bit like a voyeur. Hope is a sunrise after the storm.

[Carolann Dowsett]

Thank you I like that :)

Very beautiful and filled with desire. To long for love and the touch of that special someone is a journey we take at times in our lives, but if we walk, head held high, eyes wide open, we just may find it stood before us all along. Very nice Carolann.

[Carolann Dowsett]

Thank you Jack, you never know I guess, but in reality I gave up a long time ago :)

[Jack...]

Carolann, based on these words, which I know came straight from your heart, you have not given up, you have just taken a break from looking. You will find this love and you will breathe in all that it brings. Have faith dear Carolann, your soul is freash and your heart is a treasure that soon one will find at the end of his rainbow.

[Carolann Dowsett]

Thank you Jack that a really sweet thing to say. :)
