In Your Arms

 

 

 

 

I inhale, capturing everything

that slips out, seeking rapt pleasure

from the essence that is you

 

your breath is sweet to the taste

 

pulsing excitement is waiting

to be felt, and I consume it

with tender resolve

 

ever to be savored by

this heart’s needful hunger,

uncommon and certainly insatiable

 

your sigh is like music to my ears

 

scents mingle, saturating every inch

of the room, thick and sultry

as a mid summer day

 

holding our souls captive

within the bonds of

fervent ardor bathed

 

with the perfume of passion

 

languid sensuality pleads

this moment be frozen

for eternity and

 

we become intoxicated with

the aroma of our intimate

pheromone union, and after

 

we sleep the sleep of love.

    Mmmm, wonderful foreplay

    Things that make me go mmm: "I consume it / with tender resolve", "to be savored by / this heart’s needful hunger, / uncommon and certainly insatiable"

    The only thing I was unsure of is whether you really need quotation marks around the lines that are already set off in italics. The italics make them feel much more private than the non-italicized lines.

    This was lovely foreplay. I'm going to go read the next one in your list.

    erotic passionate and private

    I love how you put this together; the italicized lines describe the stanzas before it.
    Your writing is passionate and very intimate, few people reach this level of intimacy in their lives let alone on paper, and you explicate it well.
    My favorite lines

    "holding our souls captive
    within the bonds of
    fervent ardor bathed"
    wow...Great write!

    lol..I agree with Lane...your sensual writes are so beautiful, move over to the others!! lol

    I love these lines:
    "[“your sigh is like music to my ears”


    scents mingle, saturating every inch

    of the room, thick and sultry

    as a mid summer day]"

    and
    "[“we sleep the sleep of love.”]"..what a beautiful way to end this...

    I love all the lines in italics, especially...because they feel like they are being whispered in my ear..this is a very lovely & sensual poem, thanks so much for entering the contest..

    The sigh of love. The truest essence of one's being in true love with another is awesome, mere words cannot express how we can truly feel. But I feel you expressed it well here.

    Thank you MJ for sharing this wonderful poem.

    This is lovely, and the format is nice and tight. You write with a sureness that is happily spread upon the sheet of paper. The images you have are images of fragrance, and texture ... these continue to become more intense and sensual ... yet remaining tender and respectful. Your final lines show that even the intense joy and pleasure of union are followed by the same only on a level of loving just simply to be with the one you love .... this is a way to be loved the way you wish to be loved, by loving in that way. This is very fine.

    Thank you for your beautiful poem in this contest.

    peace ,,,Moqui
