Missing image



  Perhaps you are not as beautiful as I believe you to be. 

        Perhaps your eyes do not dance with umber flames of desire.


             Perhaps the soft silk that adorns your head,and frames

                                       the white pure snowiness of your shoulders

                                                                                                  isn't there.


   Perhaps your eye lids,

                     adorned a shade of plum lust,

                                                     do not tease me.


          Perhaps the soft curve of your nose

                                            upturns a sweet welcome
                                                               that my cheek does not cry out for.

 

          Perhaps the fullness of your lips as your smile begins,

               does not part them just enough to reveal the tip of your tongue

                                                           for which my tongue longs to entwine.

 

              Perhaps my heart,

                       caught in the web of your love

                                                      does not yearn at all.

 

                       Perhaps this dream,

                                   in this moment,

                                                 was eternity.


                        Perhaps it will last forever

                                                       and it is true...

                                                                    Perhaps....

    Time is such a precise element in our lives. There is never enough for me but then, you know that. LOL Perhaps if I just took a little off my already filled plate things would be easier for me. Naw! I like it like this. LOL Did the poetry site receive my membership app yet?

    Love YOU Michael!

    Congrats on the GOLD. This poem is deserving!

    Had there been a trophy for perfection you would definitely define that very meaning in every aspect.

    Perhaps am speechless… and perhaps am in love with your poetry; you gave hope mixed with lust and insanely provoking passion out of one simple ordinary word. Now I see it as not so ordinary but a word that could infuriate feelings of the unknown yet, inconceivable desires. A word so powerful it breaths on its own and condemns a fate if desired.

    Did you understand anything I just said?
    If you did, then welcome to my bemused world =)

      Well, I know you could but would you? Oh I know you would don't I ? : )
      How sweet to have your comments back my dearest Deena! Now if I could just tame down that Cleveland gal! She is so busy anymore with plays and politics she can't slow down enough to say Hi! All is as well as all will be! Just be nice lol

    WOW! I really like this a lot the way you wrote this about time is truly unique. You did a great job I this, I enjoyed this very much I saw the imagination through your words without having to look at the picture. I saw it with my own eyes , heart and mind. this is an outstanding write. I love the flow and rhyme in this piece. The form you used was great. Now I really like these lines right here " Perhaps my heart,
    caught in the web of your love
    does not yearn at all.

    Perhaps this dream,
    in this moment,
    was eternity.

    Perhaps it will last forever
    and it is true..." That is brilliant I really love those lines they caught my attention. You are a very talented writer so keep up what your doing. Thanks for entering the contest and good luck to you

    Many blessing and love
