Symphony of Desire

Missing image

Fragrant petals of passion
streamed from the heavens

the moment you touched me.
Your gentle caress

delivers me to a state
of serene pleasure.


I had given up on love,
hesitating to offer my body,
mind, and soul once again
to the Gods of failure.

You smile at me,
I am held spellbound.
Your eyes speak to my soul,
I hear passion whispering,

genuinely in tune with
the symphony of my desire.


Reaching out for my hand
you take me to depths
never realized before.
Your soft lips bring me
to a magical place,
where love does exist,
emotion is real,
words spoken are true.

 


Holding on to the hope
of your existence
delivers me into the light
once again.

    To read you words of love is a pure symphony to the ears indeed. Oh to love like this, such bliss and with a tender kiss, all is a miss. Beautiful.

    This seems to speak of passions' first caress, dawning of lusts given reign by it. Oddly, the line line that most says this to me is :
    You are my love of a lifetime,
    genuinely in tune
    Why is that, I wonder? Perhaps it is bitter knowledge that as relationships progress these words are never spoken. What fools we mortals be, and all that.
    Still, as passions first caress, this piece is beautifully told. I have but to close my eyes to 'feel' the moment. Good stuff, much liked!

    Thank you for your insightful comments on this poem. It is difficult to take that risk again, but the alternative is a lot worse. I will definitely keep my fingers crossed.

    poignant

    This is a poem written by a person who has suffered heartbreak in the past and who has had to find the courage to risk all again -"I had given up on love"-. The tone is appealing and the theme is touching. I just hope you remain as hopeful and fulfilled in the fullness of time. Fingers crossed. camus

    To make me offer a comment of less than six lines either means the poem is so bad I can't comment or it is so great there aren't the right words so I'll offer you this one word, though it does your work no true justice: "Fantastic!"

    I was on the image page checking images and came across this image and the title."Symphony of desire" is the same title I used for a piece last year, so I had to come and read it, and I am glad I did. Mine used instruments for imagery but yours does not but the feel of it the emotions evoked are the same. nice work on this, good luck in the contest...peace
