Love Lies Dormant

Cut me and I bleed

Hurt me and I feel pain

Touch me and you will awaken

the light of desire within me

 

For love lies dormant

in the depth of my heart

a lost dream

an echo of things longed for

yet unseen

 

Wild and untamed

boundless and alive

love fights to be set free

from its prison of dreams

 

I long to experience

the fullness of love

to be entwined forever

in the arms of a kindred soul

to love and be loved

to float away on a cloud of delight

 

I want to become lost

in the eyes of the one I love

to melt into a kiss of pure bliss

to tremble forever

in loves embrace

forever cherished

forever safe

Enchanting, love this write of 'love' and expectations. Woo, if only, eh? It's straightforwardness allows the reader to luxuriate in every word....

'to tremble forever
in loves embrace
forever cherished
forever safe'

Don't you just love the word 'tremble'? ;-)

this is one of my favourites of yours so far, encapsulation and a delicate softness of images. Particularly liked the 2nd stanza. nice :)

[Carolann Dowsett]

Thank you :)

[dillonjensen]

This poem is stunning. The last stanza really hit home for me. I feel like that's something most of the human population would love to experience, but never get the chance to because they settle for complacency. Again, beautiful poem.

[Carolann Dowsett]

Thank you so much.
