How Can I Tell Her?

How Can I Tell Her?

A Poem by Jim Parson
"

Well, not really a poem, but...

"

How can I tell her how I feel?

How can I tell her that her face is ever present in my mind's eye?  That is where I seek her and her beauty overwhelms me.  I sit and stare at her for hours and cannot look away.  I suddenly gasp and draw a deep breath and realize that I've forgotten to breathe.  I'll notice that my heart is racing and I feel the flush in my face.  And then I stare at her again.

How can I tell her that I want to breathe her in and never exhale again?  I long to know her scent and to smell her on my clothing long after she is gone.  I need to breathe in her sweet breath moments before I taste it for the first time.  Just one breath and her aroma will be so familiar that every other scent will pale against her fragrance.

How can I tell her that she consumes me?  The fire in my soul yearns to burst forth from my lips and from my fingertips to inflame her passion.  She burns so brightly for me that the mere touch of her fingers would scorch my flesh and leave me in ashes, to be scattered at the will of her breath.

How can I tell her that my lips exist only to find hers?  The anticipation of true love's first kiss haunts my dreams, the first touch of tongue waiting impatiently in fantasy.  They seek her in dream and in caprice and when they find her there, they drink deeply.  These same lips that may utter nary a sound but to speak her name.


How can I tell her that it is more than my arms that are empty without her?  The softness of her body held close, the fullness of her breast pressed to mine, the merging of spirit with the merging of flesh, the sweetness of her touch at the back of my neck, the ecstasy of my fingers through her hair, every movement forming the chimera of my existence.

How can I tell her the depth of my desire?  Our bodies entwined so tightly, I cannot tell where hers ends and mine begins.  The touch of her velvet hand as she guides me to her, beseeching warm acquiescence and finding blessed penetration of body and soul.  The gentle motion beneath me, the most caring stroke above me, the tender embrace enfolding me and the sweet release of essence as one.

How can I tell her of the swelling of lust that overcomes me?  Raw, unbridled obsession igniting passion's flame, burning to the breadth and depth of my soul.  Desperate need surpassing want, intense heat overtaking warmth, teeth leave their mark, nails blaze a path, the furious piercing of engorged flesh by enraged longing, savagely driving to fierce crescendo and violent, convulsing eruption.  And in the quiet moments after contented collapse, I will love her.

How can I find the words to make her come to me?  I have nothing to offer her but would give her everything.  She is destined to step from my fantasies.  And when she does, what will I say to her?  I know not the words, except for these…

I love you twice as much as I did yesterday.  And yesterday, I loved you so very much.

I'm thinking you'd have no trouble telling at all. Nice job! You moved me. I keep coming back to your poem because it makes me hopeful that someday, I'll have someone who'll love (and long for!!) me this much. You make me smile every time I read it. Thanks! :)

Oh my!!!!....to be the woman who has received such adoration expressed with devotion that could alter the axis of the rotation of love's strokes - the kind that causes the breath to quicken, the body to tremble, the brow to drip droplets of lust.....I love it - every word of it!

You have surely caused many a gal's heart to swoon with this piece! You certainly have made mine leap with excitement! To be such a "Dear Fantasy Girl" could keep me satisfied for many an eve!!

How can you tell her you want to breathe her in and never exhale? You can tell her by showing her all of these things in the little things you do and the big things you don't do. A slight touch when you know she needs assurance and by stepping away when you know she needs space.......this is one of the most beautiful romantic pieces I have ever read. I love this.

Smokin' content, but I do agree about the layout. As for how to tell her? No worries. Passion that runs that deep pores out of a man's eyes. She'd be blind not to see it.

Sounds like someone has got it bad. You've certainly taken this most popular subject for artist and writer out for a blistering, full-on gallop around the pasture, that's for sure.
As I believe you seek constructive criticism on your work, I'll give you my thoughts, such as they are. It seems that you've tried a bit too hard to get the idea across that you really, really lust after and love this woman. A bit less would be more, so I think.
