The Couple.

A look at a single moment we are lucky to share once!

There my copy is still against silk stained in sweat,

How words covet the flesh only fingers caress,

Be mindful of eyes so beautiful they burn red,

My darlings forever in times we seek redress.

 

 

Kisses sought and found burrow deep within me,

Pleading nonsense waiting for times unsolved,

Arms so strong they lift fear and worry away in one,

A problem leaving angst among memories now resolved.

 

 

Single strands try hopelessly to cover a sober face,

Not shy but abashed in silliness and guided heat,

Long for the partner they told you would never come,

How wrong a friend can be with proof now in heartbeat.

 

 

An act so pleasurable it needs no explanation,

Yet we must give it words to have meaning no fright,

Lashes as long to compel minds of females to envy,

Oh my you have given a rounded gift here this hot night.

Had this friend but couldn't make my mind about him. He was either the devil or God. So he told me to prove him devil ... poor bloke, I thought I might have broke his back ... but guess what ... a lot of people call him names like lizard, illuminati and the deceiver ... but to me he would always be my friend. I thought I caught some of that in this poem. Great write Thomas.

Wow again! You are truly talented. While I often find myself writing paragraphs of review and criticism your work strikes me dumb. Great job.

Defining our relationships is like putting fences around our hearts. And that is why so many relationships fail, cause they suffocate or starve to death.

[Hayley]

The reoccurring theme of the "red" here works very well- and you well spent your time on making each line super poetic with emotion-driven words and imagery.
Great write!

"How wrong a friend can be with proof now in heartbeat."...........what a line :)
I think as an artist and lover of the intimate as it is, this particular moment can be defined in all its glory, beautiful darling! ♥
