Oh, how I long to be wrapped in your love,

surrounded by all that you are;

Breathing you in, tasting your lips,

knowing you will not remain far.

 

Oh, how I wish I could freeze such a moment,

forever locked in your kiss;

Feeling your skin so close to mine;

How I long for a moment such as this.

 

Oh, how I wish I could open my eyes

and into your heart I could see;

Surrounding me with all that you are;

Wrapped in your love is where I long to be.

bliss, I really loved your poem. I was completely drawn into it and caught up in the emotion and thought you were expressing. In your own unique way you communicate a story, emotion, and a message...and at the same time, you share your heart...Beautiful.

You capture moments of sensual ecstasy so well in your poems. Did you mean "tarry" as in 'stay'? Well, if the moment's fleeting it might work better with "long'. Oooo, there's a double entendre for ya! I'm sorry, hate to rewrite. Otherwise, this poem is exquisite with a keen feel for ephemeral bliss.

Thanks for the comments...

Amanda....thanks for making me think about the word "tarry". When I write my poetry, sometimes a word comes to me, and I write without thoroughly checking it out...lol. (and lots of times I have to go back and change it). When I wrote "tarry" here...I was using it as in "remain"....not remain far from me. I'm still searching to see if there is something that might work better.......Thanks for the feedback...

To see into one's heart by opening the eyes. The yearning for love expressed in sweet words. Lovely poem.

Your words say what so many of us are feeling. Thank you for giving them a voice.

Oh Cheryl ;) that is so beautiful, sexy, passionate, warm, loving, longing, needing, embracing, promising, spiritual, HOT, racy, unquenching, desirable, insatiable, and timeless poem :) XXXXOG

Cheryl, you've created a wonderful sense of the incredible warming, healing power of touch and embrace... something we appreciate too little until it is no longer available.

Sidebar: I guess my dyslexia must be kicking in, because I can't find any reference to 'tarry' anywhere.
Cheryl W. Oct 25, 2006, 12:38pm EDT
Mark..no...it's not your dyslexia. I took tarry out and put "remain" instead. Thanks for the kind comment.

The emotion jumps off the page. Well done.
