Awhile....🐝 (desires' dreams)

BALLAD (see Author's Note) WARNING🔻 Contains an erotic word. This one's for those who've been asking for something new. 😏

Awhile….🐝

As Springtime flowers bloom and smile,

same was my soulful mind …

when first it gazed 'pon your profile,

twin heartbeats intertwined.

Across the way I glimpsed you there,

that moment our eyes met …

glorious mane of sunlit hair,

such joy I’ll ne’er forget.

Your voice sang sweet and crystal clear,

the charming way you stood …

each intonation caught my ear,

together, we’ll be good.

Tho, days and months and years drift by,

we’ve seldom strayed apart …

only the stars above know why,

we felt it from the start.

Since then, our words and poems revealed

each dream-borne passion true …

to never truly be concealed,

desire’s lush warm, wet dew.

We’ve answered softly every need,

caressed our fevered brows …

we’ve soared together and decreed

sweet soulmates’ kindred vows.

Partaken moments all our own

to make ecstatic love …

with spirits to each others’ flown,

climactic heights, thereof.

Thus, listen now to whispered mist,

none, save your soul, can hear …

setting ablaze lips softly kissed,

that can’t help but endear,

“I want you now, and for all time,

to hold close and embrace …

in our coupled moments sublime;

joined naked, face-to-face.”

Your arms and legs rapt ’round me tight,

deep, fully inside You …

thrusting you full with all my might,

becoming one from two.

And, as the flowers bloom and grow,

bright stars align above …

engulfed sensations we’ll bestow,

each bliss-filled push ’n shove.

Ohhh, swallow me and hold me deep,

murmur enthrallments’ sighs …

make love with me until we sleep,

still rapt between your thighs.

Before sleep comes ~ we’ll cum as one

for all eternal times …

my head upon your breasts, ne’er shun,

embracing lovers’ rhymes. 

As passions' thrums begin to still,

sun ope’s each flowers’ smile;

day summons us hold tight until

dreams come again 🌾 awhile….

Could anything be as beautiful as twin souls merged as one? The soothing comfort of true love and understanding that keeps lover's longing for each other...Such a exceptional write! How wonderfully those feeling of love are expressed...so real and true, your abitlity to capture those feelings is beyond my simple words. This Ballad beats with emotions that simply cannot be denied and a Master Poet that so wonderfully captures it all.Sigh...

[Richard🖌]

Goodness, Susan 😊
What a beauuutiful review!

Coming from a Master Poetess and one of the premiere lady romantics onsite, I'm more than a little thrilled to receive the bright glow from your knowing, sweetly sweeping words in warming favor and keen comprehension of my humble, sincere, and heartfelt efforts to convey these deeper thoughts, feelings, and inner sensations, though the artistry of poetry laid so openly and freely upon the page.
Such accolades and expressed appreciation inspire a bard's desires' dreams to feel their heartbeats' scintillating thrum.

Thank you ever-so sincerely and warmly for energizing these most wondrous sensations, Dear Lady-Poet! ⁓ Richard 🍃

[SJ Mullins]

Wow! Very erotic and sensual, but in a good way. A lot of poets who write erotica, like myself, write in more crude terms. This is beautifully written and a very enjoyable read!

[Richard🖌]

Hey, Lady Suze ♂️

Thanks a bushel for your delight presence and compliments … I recall your vividly eloquent, sensual pieces very well, indeed.

Who would want to forget? ; )
Next visit, wrap your lovely gift in your own box, so I can easily reread and appreciate … cozy hugs, Dear Poetess! ⁓ Richard 🍃

[Richard🖌]

Dang! The site cut half of it off … lemme try again:

Sooo delightful it is, Dear Kira 🤒

Knowing there's something about this rather simmering piece that even California couldn't resist being affected by … perhaps, a somewhat warmed citizen, too?
Mm, you might come across a few poetic cuddlers in your new book to make ya wanna … ummm, snuggle? ; )

I'll be there with you, too, within your pages … wink* ⁓ Richard 🍃

[kitty]

This surpasses all others! Glad you are still on site to keep the flames of love and romance ignited. Just what is needed in this stark cold Covid season where everything else is so uncertain. A thousand thank yous M'Lud for this exemplary piece which has come to my notice, drawn by choices thrown in my corner. As per usual I can always count on your words to see me through. Thank you most kindly

[Richard🖌]

Dear Sweet Kitty🥂

If anyone knows about ignited flames of love and romance, there's not a smidgen of doubt it is You, M'lady … one would have to but read any of your heart-thrumming verses to feel the irresistibly powerful warmth of your feminine allure.

With hugs 'n snugs of grateful bliss, a soft 'n gently laid-on kiss! ⁓ Richard 🍃

[kitty]

Thank you so much today for reminding us on board of the best times cherished of the sweetness of not long ago days that had us caught in the raptures of Romance. Help us keep that sweetness in mind,always. A comfort to those who suffer.

[barleygirl]

Now that I've actually SEEN you with your better half (on FB) I can better imagine what feelings might provoke you to write a poem like this. While reading, I was imagining how you might be feeling about your hunny, which gave me a more in-depth experience, rather than reading well-crafted romantic words which can sometimes feel somewhat buttoned up. But I can relate to both sides of this equation becuz people comment that my writing & presenting myself can feel pretty buttoned up, too (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie

[Richard🖌]

Ahhh, Dear Margie : )

Such lovely sentiments you've gifted this rather "warm" verse in its lusciously romantic mode.
It is so wonderfully gratifying, too, that your imagination drifted into the realm of relatable appreciation for one of my classically formatted pieces.

I love it when you drift in and sprinkle your sweet sparkling charms 'n cozy (((HUGS))) ⁓ Richard 🍃
