Heat Rises

At least I can dream :)

I can hear the sound of his heart 
beating in his chest
It is the sound of life 
playing to its own individual beat and rhythm 

I hear the whisper of my name 
as it flows unbidden from his lips 
It floats across waves of sound 
until it settles into the deep parts of my soul
like a gentle kiss it touches me 
fills me with its warmth 

His love frees me
lifts me up and carries me 
upon winds of change 
into to a future 
I could never have dreamt of 

In his arms 
I am free 
Laughter fills my spirit 
and I overflow with joy 

Finally safe 
in the strong arms of love
I drift away 
on tides of passion 
that enthrall me 

I float upon moonbeams 
as his love penetrates my being
Encapsulating me in waves of delight
taking me to a place beyond my wildest dreams 

I am alive in his love 
healed by his kisses
that dance with free abandon 
upon the softness of my skin 

Every cell in my body tingles 
in the beauty of his touch 
Heat rises 
pumping the blood of passion through my veins 

His love engulfs me 
and I melt into his burning flesh 
Melded together as one 
we ride upon waves of ecstasy 

Soaring higher and higher
with every beat of our hearts 
Until we reach a place 
beyond the highest stars  

Then the fire of our passion
burns to embers at last 
and we collapse 
content and at peace 
into the beautiful warmth 

of each others arms

This poem is a recipe for passion. Your diction in this poem is fantastic. I can almost feel so many emotions from this poem. This part here "I float upon moonbeams
as his love penetrates my being
Encapsulating me in waves of delight
taking me to a place beyond my wildest dreams" Simply elegance. The attention to detail is wonderful. You're a great writer Carolann

Another beautiful poem dear Carolann. I felt a great joy reading this and looking at your photo, I am now compelled to write a poem about your beautiful eyes. Very nice.

first of all, let me say that the photo is stunningly beautiful, wow! secondly, you have a gift of writing from the cuff (or off the sleeve, if you prefer) about things which you have imagined or experienced but are not currently happening, but seem real because of the clarity and passion with which you write. i love fantasy pieces, many of mine are that very entity. you exhibit a deep loving heart and a wonderful gift here. awesome write!

Lovely picture first off, you are very beautiful. This dreamlike state just floats on the page, lulling me in a wonderful sense of warmth...there's more security than heat in this read, it's that feeling that only comes from trust and mutual admiration. Nicely pen'd Carolann...it's an amazing glimpse into perfect harmony.

[Carolann Dowsett]

Thanks so much Frieda.

I saw the poetry in your face in the picture dear.
He must have been the one taking the photo as your expression is beaming! I fir one can never fake my expressions for pictures... Im amazed that others can "pose" so well.
This poem did not feel like a pose at all. Pure joy!
