Wish I were there,
Waking up beside you…
Gazing into your sleepy morning eyes,
Caressing them with soft kisses…
Whispering sweet nothings into your heart,
Passionately loving like a runaway train...
Lingering for hours in raptured cuddles...
Showering each other in delicious ways…
Leaving us clean, deeply sated, and wanting
For nothing
Venturing out
Finding a romantic bistro, a table for two...
Eating little; talking less
While falling head over heels into your sky blue eyes...
Meandering the river valley
Holding hands...
Connecting beyond words
Being with you...
Wish I were there...

Just "being" with someone is one of the most beautifully intimate moments that mean so much... when words aren't necessary and there is a comfortable "knowing" and contentment.
This was lovely and sweet and romantic. A very nice side of you shows in this.

As soon as I read "table for two," I thought, "Oh no. Not the 'spoons' imagery." Thank you for sparing us that ubiquity. Besides, we all know that spooning is what you do when you're finished forking.

This piece is so eloquent and feels so personal, almost as if to read it you are intruding upon something so sacred it makes you feel ashamed that you 'peeked' per say
It holds such intimacy. For a long time the one that holds my heart was far from me and many nights thoughts such as this where whispered on the wind from him. A incredibly beautiful poem. I must add you to my fave list. It is most pleasurable to have been introduced to your pages sir

A true love poem, a passionate yet wistful valentine - does she know how lucky she is?
Beautiful poem, Henri, as always.

This is a truly romantic poem. The beauty of it kind of takes you away from the fact that your not there. With such warm and tender reminiscence, It feels like you (the reader) are right there by there side and that gets you through.
Absolutely beatiful,

Ahh, geez, H, you've done it again. Written/spoken words so many of us wish we could write/say. I'm grateful for the creative flame that enables you to share your life experiences so eloquently. YBGF -
"Whispering sweet nothings into your heart" This sentence alone could stand as the perfect love poem Very romantic, not too gushy. Good luck with "the one"!

Amazingly poetic, realistically romantic. Henri, this would melt any heart. No wonder, you have not posted in a while, you have been distracted. Worth the wait...definately.
-
I think a lot of people want to feel what you've expressed in this poem, with your wish to be there with the one you desire, but so few actually ever experience the bliss. YOur words are beautiful, Henry. I sincerely hope you shared this poem with your valentine. The lines "Showering each other in delicious ways… Leaving us clean, deeply sated, and wanting, For nothing" are simply gorgeous. Thank you for sharing this poem with us. Helen

Romantic poem...very nicely written! Makes me wonder why you're not there...something's preventing you from spending time with this special woman and that is sad.
