Falling in Love


Poem Artwork


Fall and Fall



 







First rush of blood:

Your heart knew me.

As I floated

face down in myself,

clutching at the world

with a baited smile.

Your eyes invited me.

Beautifully engaging mine

in a graceful conversation of looks.

A home fire flickered at last in the dark,

as I passed my heart into the glow.

Your tongue received me.

Passionate and probing;

wrapping me in a tartan shawl.

I sighed, but could do nothing at all,

but fall and fall and fall.

Your body entertained me.

It entertained us both;

stroking and bending

us into our favourite secrets.

Two rhythms pulsing toward one life.

Realisation:

You have given me everything.

A heart to cry with,

a soul to love with

a smile to reply with

a reason to live,

a future.

Can I give you my love?

It is all that I have,

but I give it wholly.

Now

and

then

again

and

again.

Bernard,

I love this one: reminds me of the tango! Deeply moving, sensual lines; well done.

(((HUGS))) and love, Karla.

Say Something Terrorible v3 by RickthePoetWarrior

My mom says ‘If you can’t say anything nice then don’t say anything’. Sorry mom but under the guise of poetic license I penned these beauties.
