I was falling through the atmosphere on a cold November night thinking, everyone dies, so don’t tell me that everything’s going to be alright.

His stomach, flat and warm

Is the color of Egyptian sand

Rising and falling, like a soft melody

His aura I caress with my hand

 

He sleeps tranquil and calm

My desire I strongly embrace

Onto my pillow and through the night

My eyes kiss his peaceful face

 

Sweet temptation, his body

So warm––

This glow from inside

 

I long to touch, to kiss

Tender lips––

Soft touches may awake him

 

Trembling, I look from above

This man––

Which takes my breath away

 

My senses, gently awaken

My lover––

Surrendering deep in passion

Feeling for you

So true is my

Heart I gift to you

So beyond all words

To express love for you

Your beautiful soul

Shining through your eyes

Touching more than warm skin

Seduces me

Sailing in a current of love

Seduces me

We fly

Rising––in the rush of air

We are free

 

We sail

Immersed––in the crash of waves

We are lovers

 

We awaken

Embraced––in the warmth of skin

We are united

Union

Intricate, intimate––

A dance together

Flowing with time

 

With nothing mattering

More than your own

Sense of balance

 

And you choice of

partner––who supports

You in the dips and turns

Two

 

Two hearts met under

Captivating magic

They were sure to

Surrender

 

Two heats connected with

Promising hope

They will always

Remember

 

Two years shared while

Discovering you

Treasuring moments we

Capture

 

Two years stronger in

Embraced in your arms

Still passionate lovers in

Rapture

 

~*~

 

The woman in me

 

With tears in my eyes

And silent inner cries

I miss the woman in me

 

Its hard to believe

That I can be so free

To be the woman in me

 

I feel mellow, I feel blue

How I long for the arms of you

To hold the woman in me

 

Given time I will heal

And someday I will feel

I am the woman in me

 

My strength I will find

And I wont feel confined

To believe the woman in me

 

When I feel your gentle touch

I desire you so much

You release the woman in me

 

With our passion growing strong

We make music to our song

I express the woman in me

 

Thoughts of you bring peace

They say wonders never cease

I live the woman in me

My Love

 

I’ve seen a sky

With the beauty of

Stars

 

I’ve lived many moments

Through the power of

Prayer

 

I’ve had days that

Have changes my

Life

 

Still~

With all the stars

And days of prayer and changes

Nothing has captivated me more

Than the man you are and the

Love I have for

You

Hold me, hug me

Provide me shelter

From this rain of emotions

 

Weep tears, wipe tears

Stroke my face

With your touch

Of compassion

Yes 

 

Yes ~ as our eyes met

And I shall

Always see his gentle comfort

 

Yes ~ my arms around him

As I hugged

Drawing me to him closer

 

Yes ~ I lay upon him

And I sigh

He  could feel my breath

 

Yes ~ oh how he kissed

And I knew

As well, him ~ no other

 

Yes ~ his eyes asked me

And paused

Would I say yes?

 

Yes ~ heart pounding mad

And yes

I said yes I will ~ yes

With every passing tide

These are beautiful peices - I especially love the one titled Freedom. This is the sort of book I would keep by the bedside and pick up and savour a bit at a time. Shelved for a few days!

This chapter one woman sounds just like me. I found your writing easy to read and engage with. I wanted to know even more about the MC.

Thanks,

Hello Linda,

There are some interesting poems in here, to be sure. I especially enjoyed Unknown Change and Myself. To me, poetry is often sharing your soul and I can see that you have done this. And your cover is quite beautiful. Best of luck.

Great first short story, it made me smile. I jumped ahead to some poetry and found it lovely. Some are short but you pack a lot into just a couple lines. I've never been that great at poetry and you make it seem so simple. And by that, I mean simple in a very good way. This was a nice break from all the novels and memoirs, for that I thank you. I'll remember this and come back when I need a distraction.

A very nice collection

Ha ha, a funny and compelling first chapter! I have a grandparent who's done that, and more than once.
A few spelling and grammar mistakes though - fifth paragraph, 'Tuesday's' should just be 'Tuesdays'; and sixth paragraph, it says 'I Fridays'.
