Heard On My Skin

When warm I love you’s join affection
our souls
cannot seem to say
it is time to go.
I can see
no journey’s end
that will ever prove to me
that forever
could ever think
of leaving this love
we stand by.

I hold on tight to your soul
even after
we say goodnight.
Inside my mind, I see visions
looking back at caresses
from your hands
and no door is closed
In my heart
containing any words written
you have not read.

Sometimes life feels like a river
flowing into the dawn
reaching beyond
any love song of passion
clinging to the clouds
I am in.
However, thoughts of you
sail me higher
and higher
into beautiful colors
again.

I am left breathless when I see your hands
moving within the realms
of a thousand
I love you’s
yet to be said.
I can see no journey’s end
to this forever
I feel,
as one by one
they are heard on my skin.

A beautiful statement of love. What a lucky person this is to be cared for so much. I love the phrase "containing any written words you have not read". As though some of this love is kept a deep secret. I wonder how frequently we all keep our love or passion for someone or something else hidden?

This is so breathtakingly beautiful. It is written from deep within the soul.
Just so lovely!

This is absolutely beautiful.
I want this love.
Where there isn't even a fathomable end in sight.
This is penned so nicely - not overdone in flowery words, because the actual emotion and passion shows through in the fantastic way you chose your words and their combinations.

Another lovely write, Neva.

Woman in photo is beautiful. I enjoyed the words and the desire of your poem.
"However, thoughts of you
sail me higher
and higher
into beautiful colors
again."
I like the emotion in this poem. Passion can lead us to good places. A strong ending to a outstanding poem.
