boiling over

boiling over

love boils in me - warm and wanting

never still - yet soothing is its presence there

I know and see all you are to me incredibly -

to say I’m yours would understate the obvious

you call to me and set me free

to span the miles ‘twixt you and me

there, somewhere, we love in air that’s warm

echoing with lover’s cries and soul's singing -

we soak up, like hungry earth the rain,

this love we crave each day, each hour,

each pressing, passionate moment

in my mind you gleam and glow

and make my body glisten so

your body weeps those sultry tears

upon these soft-washed sheets we share

so soft - so silken on our skin that burns –

ablaze with lustful longing

of love that endless yearns

Such calls of the wild - the birds of paradign - could be cuckoos too - you never know what's out there when it comes calling :-)) Nice write

Thanks for sharing and submitting to

I would so love to feature this in loves sultry wall of The Surreal Club

Thank you for your lovely comment, and feature. How are you? Is your pending marriage on or off. Either way, I'm sure you know what is best for you. I wish for you happiness.

On but my divorce has a 100 mile geographical restriction. I'm trying to fight it in court. I was about to move for a huge job offer but at the last minute, days before I was supposed to accept and be in Ohio for the job, my ex's lawyer filed for a continuance. So now I start over. Ahhhhh life and it's journeys. Thank you so much for asking Stephen. You are sweet.

Did you see my poem written by Satya Jell and me. It's different but you would like it. It's under his post "rays to dreams and dreams to rays" by Satya jell.
