Pool of My Heart

Reach deep into the blue pool of my heart
and holding gently the captive emotions,
draw my heart close to yours and feel them begin to beat as one.
We will be skin on skin, breath to breath, and life within life.

Release the fullness of your heart into mine
and revive my sleeping passion while
restoring the fullness of love to my life’s purpose.
We will be skin on skin, breath to breath and life within life.

Feel the heat of my fire for you and let us
freely dance to the rhythm of our hearts while
we whisper secrets we have longed to tell no other.
We will be skin on skin, breath to breath, and life within life.

Laugh with me as we rejoice in the homecoming of our hearts
and let us drink in the sweet musky air of our union
as we rest in the passion of the joining of souls.
We are now skin on skin, breath to breath, and life within life.

  • The repeated line does work, have you tried a villanelle? this lovely theme, full of tenderness would be an ideal candidate for such form.

    Line 1, is a perfect introduction, "reach, deep, heart" in the first line allow the reader to be transported with charm into the romantic mood, of the theme.

    A similar combination in line 3 works equally well.
    Liked L7.

    For me L14 and 15 are the best in the poem," musky air, union with passion, joining souls" . very sound beautiful diction.

    I like your poem a lot, thank you.

      Thank you so much for the critique! I actually got one that broke it down and that thank you for the suggestion of trying a villanelle.. I will look up the form and study it a bit and no doubt will try to shape this into one. You've given me a new challange. Thank you so very much!

    Wow, this is a beautiful and sensual. Is this a particular form? I love the repetition of the last line in each quatrain.

      Ahh yes

      If only it were that easy to find.... I am with you there. This is actually the first time I've been able to write about love, and have allowed myself to dream about it for a long, long time. It is an elusive fire isn't it?
