Soft petals of your eyes unfold
reaching out in graceful sway,
adopting form of curling wishes
cradled by the core.
Touches upon sighing zephyrs
wave with wands of wonder,
caresses of velvet tresses coil
curving into pleasure.
As hands discover tenderly
ne'er to spoil nor to bruise,
join within Elysium's bed of unison
upon bouquets of honeyed scent.

First of all, let me thank you for your entry into my contest. I appreciate the time & effort that you spent on your poem immensely, because I completely recognize & understand the symptoms as being my own, as well. lol
Also, please let me apologize & ask for your understanding this somewhat generic comment; I have a migraine & need to get this contest judged so I can get to bed. I don't have a lot of time or energy to be online these days. Which is partly why I'm commenting at 3 am.
This is the part that gained my admiration the most:
"As hands discover tenderly
ne'er to spoil nor to bruise,
join within Elysium's bed of unison
upon bouquets of honeyed scent."
You are obviously a gifted writer; I thank you sincerely for sharing this part of your Self with the rest of us lost, angelic souls...Keep penning...This world needs all the Poets & Scribes it can hold. Especially now.
Be good to yourself & those around you; it really does matter, as you know.
