After writing this I felt it was sorta reminiscent of a Meatloaf song but I still liked it and decided to post anyway...
*Reticent Lover* *Will you hold my hand and feel the passion I feel for you flowing like molten fire pulsating through my veins* I will hold your hand and feel your pulse but I will not love you *Will you place your lips on my lips and taste the hunger of the hunter craving the taste of your youth, your beauty, and your soul* I will kiss your lips and satisfy your hunger but I will not love you *Will you lay with me in a bed of lust and desire unlike any that we have known and may never know again?* I will lay with you in a bed of lust but I will not love you *Will you open yourself naked and defenceless trustingly accepting what the needs of our two entwined bodies demand?* I will open myself fully to our needs but I will not love you *Will you hold me close and tightly afterwards and will you tenderly wipe the teardrops from my eyes when I tell you I love you* I will wipe our teardrops away and I will love you.

Dear Felix,
What a beautiful soul you are! I loved those last lines. They have literally left a huge lump in my throat. What is passion without love? Lust is a desire, love is a fulfilment. Fantastic write!
Love Chanti

Naked, vulnerable, longing - heart-rending, Felix, and so bittersweet! I love the honesty combined with passion fuelled by deep desires and needs in this one. Glad you posted! TY Kate xx PS Am soooo grateful that you have said that my iceberg writes ring true! They have been causing me heap big sweat...!! And, if you have even enjoyed them, so much the better! :))

Good words, well woven. Brief and thorough, sending the message.

Beautiful, Felix! It kind of reminds me of an old folk turn called, I believe, Paper of Pins. ;~)

Take care,

Sherry
