Take Me!

Our love is the deepest!

Take Me!

Take me to your breast

for there is nothing

for us in this pretence,

in this bow and courtesy

dance,

where we gaze

at fluttered eyelids,

long for lifted petticoats

but talk in half-truths,

veiled in the metaphors

of what-ifs and wherefores.

We write verse

but we are poetry.

We are romance

writ large on the moon,

we have the blessing of angels,

of Aphrodite and of Venus.

We cannot sow

this upon barren soil.

We cannot quell such swollen

seas, other than in a bed

of yearned for corporeal bliss.

A poet I know well, and I admire his work. This is a fine poem, with emotional closeness, a dance for two that moves out to all with a close relationship. So advise all, have a look at an excellent poem.

No coquettish flirtations....just head straight for the prize! Your words are filled with desire and urgency. Lots of romance in the vocabulary! I liked it. Lydi**

Ah! glad the romance was there. No 'wham bang thank you Ma'am' intended just tender and passionate love. Thank you Lydi.
