I Write

Positioning my heart just perfectly

so that emotions pour into my well of ink

for only you….I write

 

My emotions splattered

on the once naked page are meant for you

 

Will you caress my words tonight

holding them in places I will never dwell?

 

Read the words

Let them dance upon your tongue

As they rest in the curls upon your chest

Quench your thirsts with them

 

Listen to my private whispers

Allow my warm breath to enter your soul

and simmer there as double entendres

do dirty deeds upon the page

 

Yes, my darling

you need not question

tis for you…I write

 

 

Author's Note

We all write for different reasons, but most of us hope that special someone will read our words. I wrote this poem in 2002 and it was featured in my book in 2005.

Reviews

[Karen]

I've often wondered why I write or for whom do I write. I've come to terms that there are many reasons I write, including emotional release, mental therapy, and raw need. But I've rarely written for a particular person though I've written with certain people in mind. While I do not have a set person that inspires me to write, I do have set experiences with people that inspire me to write. Regardless, Nature is my true Muse, and to Her I devote my oeuvre. Beautiful poem, Lydi!

We all write for different reasons, but one thing is certain...we all NEED to write. Thank you very much, Karen. I appreciate the in depth review. Lydi**

Some of my poems are written for my wife, but the majority are not written for anyone in particular...or perhaps they are written for me? They just beg me to write them, and I do my best. Yes, we all write for different reasons, and through different impulses. Clearly a heartfelt write, Lydi, and one full of passion and poetic charm. I enjoyed the read. ~ Robert.

Thank you, Robert....you've changed your icon again....keeps me on my toes! Most are written for my husband....the rest are written for me. Yes, the words NEED to be written....and we comply. I appreciate your comments. Lydi**

Yes, I keep changing my icon. Hope you are enjoying your weekend. ~ Robert.

Soft and teasing...there is no doubt in my mind he hears your private whispers simmering...

forget simmers...this poem sizzles.

Great writing my friend. :) Julie
