Gazing down, I catch him breathing at me,
I turn,
and I shy away,
bobbing on his breeze.
Clinging to my branch,
His pebbled cheeks, tanned and smooth,
remain in my veins,
and I allow myself
one more
glance.
Swooning,
I bob on the wind
of his gently up-turned tu-lips,
for his lightest kiss
is lead to my head,
and nectar to my heart.
His soft whispers,
bluster fear from my mind.
His laughter tickles the surface,
swirling inside,
gently curling,
yet unfurling
my modesty,
As I let myself fall
towards
the rippling beauty
that is
him.

How wonderful this is!!!! I'm not sure how many this will cool off but I liked it a lot and am glad you posted.

a good opening that has a sexual-sensual atmosphere to it which moves smoothly along the course as i read - i can see why you offered this in your comment on my wind inspired piece though you take your poem along our nature rather than nature's ways, though that is good. on another note, might i suggest those contests that have ended that you did not win anything, remove your poem from? keep the ones that show cups but flip the others out of the window lol

Thank you very much for taking the time to read, and comment too - I really appreciate it.
My poems are often inspired by, and run with sexual tension - it's a common theme in my life. Like I said, your poem has inspired something I'm going to work on tomorrow. I've done a word bank/mind map and structure with images I want to use, I just have to piece it together now. I think it'll be called "God's Mistress".
I've removed them now, I just never get round to it, and I worry that some haven't ended, when in fact they have...ages ago. -

i will look out for that title, please when you post it, if i forget send me the link.

"bet Mike loved it" ... well this Mike did, anyway, even though it was not for me! "Autumn leaves never fall - they're pushed" [a quote from one of my poems] this is such a deliciously tender different approach to the subject. Most enjoyable. Mike
