I close my eyes
and I picture you here
Laying with me;
your arms wrapped tightly,
protectively.. holding me close
while I listen to the steady, rhythmic
beat inside your chest
Your voice is a balm to my aching soul...
in silence it speaks to me;
a magical, mystical,
voice heard only by the beating heart
This heart, while tattered and life worn,
aches to be placed in the hands of you;
the man I love
The depth and intensity spills over;
it flows like blood through my veins...
Liquid fire that burns me from the inside;
incinerating the doubt and
the fear that I've carried...
Lost in the heat of love's inferno.
Touch me...
Give to me the kiss that brings
a thousand tiny sparks dancing
from the pores of naked skin...
Eroticism of the spirit;
ignited by desires beyond carnal
Barriers are broken...
the walls are obliterated by the soul's wants,
and it's deepest need to explore
the raw emotions unleashed;
Exploration not of the flesh,
but of the mind,
of the soul,
and of the heart.
In those moments
when all barriers are gone,
when speech is through
the contact of skin...
a lifetime of questions
unasked, but still heard,
are answered
by the hearts that are bared

This piece of music by Enya came to mind when I read the opening line. When I read the rest of it I knew that the music fitted perfectly in time! Marvullouse song for a perfect poem! [excuse my spelling] this piece is so deep and elegant, has a strength becomer harder to find in poetry! Stunning imagry.
Best of luck
Dryad Eny -
wow this is truly deep and very compassionate!! I love the way that you wrote this piece this is very very beautifully portrayed!!!
-
Ooh I liked this.
"Your voice is a balm to my aching soul..." was my favourite line.
I think it's because I like the word balm and I haven't read it in a while.
Thanks for entering

Intense & Passionate
At first, the beginning of the poem didn't hook me in so much but then as it progressed, I was drawn in more and more. It is somewhat like sinking into further depths of intimacy within a relationship. Thanks for entering this into my contest. -

Wonderful Imagery.. It thrashes me out of my life right now.. it makes me really see what your feeling. and i really really loved this.

I definately liked it. I read it about three times and each time I found something I had missed before. It is very late though so I will definately re-comment with a few more things to add though. Best of Luck.
~Okay. So my offical thoughts are... the short separation of the lines definately worked to your advantage here. I liked the overall message and meaning as well. This was definately one of the more detailed and well thought out pieces submitted. -
Masterpiece!
Thank you soooooo much for sharing this lovely poem with me. This is one of the most beautiful poems that I have read in a long time.
I was just having my morning
here in aussie land and this brought me many
Every verse flows with emotions, love, and sensuality.
"Touch me...
Give to me the kiss that brings
a thousand tiny sparks dancing
from the pores of naked skin...
Eroticism of the spirit;
ignited by desires beyond carnal...
In those moments
when all barriers are gone,
when speech is through
the contact of skin...
a lifetime of questions
unasked, but still heard,
are answered
by the hearts that are bared"
These elegant words leaves me speachless!
Bravo...........WELL PENNED!
I LOVE THIS WRITE!
Brightened my day
Many blessings
Happy Holidays,
~David~

classy and thats what i like to see
it doest take the gross pornographic look at sex
it shows the emotional side the passion the love the good and sacred side and it keeps it good and sacred
love that and i appreciate that
its bold
but i like it
-
Your voice is a balm to my aching soul...
in silence it speaks to me;
a magical, mystical,
voice heard only by the beating heart
This heart, while tattered and life worn,
aches to be placed in the hands of you;
the man I love....I loved every line of this.
It was like you wrote exactly how I feel about my love. This was absolutely beautiful. Keep Writing!!!
-
WOW this is wonderful.
-
such a well written poem! the love is just sooo intense in this piece. thank you so much for sharing!
-
"This heart, while tattered and life worn"
This was my favorite line in this work. It's a relatable and palpable sense of longing on through this work. Written and meshed with an elegant flow as if the writers could truly see inside one another. That is a rare bond. I, myself, have never been the best at collaborations, but I like to think if my beautiful heart and I were to write one together it would mold so wonderfully as this work has.
I did want to make one recommendation however, in the last two stanza's you repeat the term barrier. I think it works really well the first time, for the second I would recommend something more along the lines of,
"In those moments
when all obstruction is gone,"
Just a suggestion however.
many hearts to you.

I am not able to write in this way, being an old fashioned sort of person yet I am a romantic and appreciate the way this drifts and flows and I did enjoy reading the sentiments. I am not into flattery either for the sake of it but your words made me "feel" and remember a beautiful time in my life long ago, thank you.
-
Sensual words of delight you bring to our ears, lovely.

Great
Sounds good throughout. Great work of art. Nice read. -
Beautifull write lovely rythm and excellent conclusion. 'a lifetime of questions unasked, but still heard,are answered by the hearts that are bared' excellent. Well done and good luck in the contest.
-
What I like about your poem is that it handled a very adult subject in a non-vulgar way. I don’t agree with some of your flesh/love/soul concepts, but I’m
not judging it on whether or not I agree with what you say. It’s a good poem.
-
Beautiful write. I liked the last stanza the best. I think it's best in life when people show their true selves. I mean, if people can't be real with the ones they love in life, I don't understand how they could not be able to be in a relationship, because I think that being real and true and honest to ourselves and the people around us in our lives is the most important thing. This is a wonderful collaboration piece. Best of luck to you in the contest.
-
such a sweet tender write, that flows so easily from your pen. delighting the reader with softness of love and the feelings of it. very nice my friend.
-
great poem! very classy!
-
I love this
WOW girl you have a way with words, so sensual erotic yet clean and sweet. Bravo. Keep it up I'm going to enjoy reading more of these.
-
Very beautiful and so sensual! Quite the poetry that makes dreams come true...enjoyed this! Best of luck to ya...smiles, Terry
-
Rare beauty!
Yes, this one is powerful... and spellbinding. A truly magnificent read which I thoroughly enjoyed. This is my dream... to love, and be loved in this way; something that just can't happen with anybody, only the one that's truly made for me... and willingly spreads her wings hoping to soar past old boundaries. I can't say how wonderful this piece really is... thank you for sharing it!

This is a very interesting poem. It has this sense of confusion aobut what is going on. Is this a lustfull love or a pure soulful love? It has a good combination of both. You talk about the soul and how the soul and flesh are seperate in the end, but there is a carnal desire (even though this is where the transition between the two is) and a reference to "love's inferno," maybe Dante's inferno and hell. The way you describe both of these loves, seems to me to be pure, not anything to be ashamed of. A coming together of two people. I believe what is described here is a pure love how God intended it, that's why I am confused as to the inferno reference. This is a pure love to me. Great poem, I love it.
