Heard On My Skin

When warm I love you’s join affection
our souls
cannot seem to say
it is time to go.
I can see
no journey’s end
that will ever prove to me
that forever
could ever think
of leaving this love
we stand by.

I hold on tight to your soul
even after
we say goodnight.
Inside my mind, I see visions
looking back at caresses
from your hands
and no door is closed
In my heart
containing any words written
you have not read.

Sometimes life feels like a river
flowing into the dawn
reaching beyond
any love song of passion
clinging to the clouds
I am in.
However, thoughts of you
sail me higher
and higher
into beautiful colors
again.

I am left breathless when I see your hands
moving within the realms
of a thousand
I love you’s
yet to be said.
I can see no journey’s end
to this forever
I feel,
as one by one
they are heard on my skin.

[Call It A Day]

A beautiful statement of love. What a lucky person this is to be cared for so much. I love the phrase "containing any written words you have not read". As though some of this love is kept a deep secret. I wonder how frequently we all keep our love or passion for someone or something else hidden?

Such a beautiful piece~ Scribed wonderfully; as if on her skin.
I love the flow and imagery you deplicted here.
What a stunning piece~

[Layla J Omorose]

Beautiful. Once again another amazing poem. It captures the essence of love beautifully. It sounds even better when read aloud and the way it is written meaning that there is only a pause at the periods you placed. Once again great work.

This is like a warming toast of love, the clinging of wine glasses chime, as does the love in this piece of writing.
Cheers to beauty and love...you seemingly have a gift for passion.
A wonderful piece Neva.

ah love the picutre - and the poem - a statement of love indeed - "I am left breathless when I see your hands
moving within the realms
of a thousand
I love you’s
yet to be said. " - the subtle rhyme really complimented it too! nice job!

First of all - That photo has to be one of the most beautiful photos of sensuality that I have ever seen posed in a woman. Superb.

And then your words Neva - Off the wall gorgeous. I can hear a melody of a lyric in this one, dear.
