Passage

Just a little something.....

Passage…..

 

There was a time not so long ago,

when you were nothing but the epitome of lust in my eyes….

It was easily all I could do but think of you,

constantly,

every moment of every day.

I could taste your skin beneath my tongue as it went,

I could feel your silken hair,

damp with the moisture of our fusion.…

your scent would linger on in my hair,

long after we would part…..

I would move this way or that

and the wind would catch my locks,

breathing your essence before me once more.

and I would close my eyes and inhale,

long, deep and penetrating….

I would exert my last drop of energy to absorb the tiniest part of you.

 

Now, that lustful time has passed,

and we are still here,

You and I…….

and time now, is still the same.

 

But…

time shifts…..

and the image fogs, yet always clears.

This time, you are still beneath my hand,

Only,

it is your pulse that I feel,

slow, steady, and strong….

It is your sweetness I taste beneath my tongue,

It is your sighs whispered in the silence that permeate my body,

paralyzing my soul for just a moment….or two.

When I close my eyes to wake again,

I find myself ‘neath the warmth of your embrace,

neatly tucked away in the safety of your clutch.

 

When I come to this time,

I will do so with the confidence that you were by my side,

I will make the journey again, and again,

knowing that the strength of two,

not one,

brought us through,

to a transcendence beyond…..

Oh what can I say... I was catching my breath after each line... I was especially captured by this part...

It is your sighs whispered in the silence that permeate my body,
paralyzing my soul for just a moment….or two.

to me this really illustrates how love and lust can coexist... this is truly another gorgeous write from you.

This is profound and beautiful. Tragic in the irony that the character is still reaching. The beginning is pristine. The idea could be developed further before " when I come to this" when transcendence has been achieved.

Same line as R&R Cowboy really caught my attention. This poem is a great examination of the love/lust cohabitation. I've read a few of your poems, but this one definitely needed to be complimented. You've really got a beautiful way with the English language.

Only thing I could say for CC is you only need three periods for your elipses (unless of course this is a conscious choice). But so far as content, you have me floored!

Dear Seri, there's only been a few times in my life when something I read, made my heart start to feel like it was going to explode, in only the best way. This was the most recent. I can't even begin to describe, any, best part, as it was all just amazing. It's been so long since I read you, I really am going to have to see what else I've missed from you over the past two years. Thank you friend, for reminding me that sometimes, someone's writing, and even moreso, their soul where it all comes from, can literally, take one's breath away.

Absolutey in love with this.
You're the best!

Beautifully profound, lingering thoughts on yesterday's touch... You bring this alive so much, and move us into a personal moment of memory.. and the feelings that arise today... Your writing has such emotional depth!

[Creepy Swine Guy]

This is good work. A particularly strong part (in my opinion) is ...

"I would move this way or that
and the wind would catch my locks,
breathing your essence before me once more.
and I would close my eyes and inhale,
long, deep and penetrating…."

I was a bit thrown by the adjacent lines that said ...

"and time now, is still the same.

But…
time shifts….."

But all in all ... very nice work. Your poetry betrays your emotional state.
