This Night

~ a sensual little scribble ~

                        

 

                This night…

 

Let there only be moonlight

and your breath upon my skin

painting my cheeks a fevered blush

my lips softening the crush of yours

 

Eyes veiled with wishes,

souls wrapped in beams of light

exposing every secret

whispered sweet….passionate sips

between love’s kiss

 

For nothing is hidden…nor forbidden

not the power of my fragility

as weakened in your strength

pressing us closer together

 

I catch my breath…you breathe me in

               

Hearts beating wild,

 like the dance of a windblown flame

 captured

                                                      this night

       

                                                we breathe us

I knew I was going to love this from reading the first two lines. So sensual and passionate, but not aggressive or uncouth. I love that you can convey such a sexy scene while still keeping it classy. Perfect poem for someone's bae on Valentine's Day! Amazing job

[MsJewel]

Thank you for your kind words Elisa :) Julie

[Siegfried]

Pearls of authentic romance, glittering on a wild string of delight.

Very beautiful.

[MsJewel]

Your review is poetry...stunning :) Julie

Julie, This one fairly screams "love and romance" from the surrounding rooftops. No 'impact words;' instead the softly worded images imparted throughout carry this piece along like a gondola ride through the canals of Venice. Poets write love notes to all who read them, but some are just OK, pedestrian. This piece stands proudly among the great love poems I have read. You should be very proud of this one! take care...dan

[MsJewel]

I'm humbled by your generous comment Dan. Thank you :) Julie

[Lizardo]

Thank you Lizardo :) Julie

Sweetie, reading a write like this one makes me miss my honey even more. His birthday was yesterday, a day we would have celebrated together. Enjoy life while you can, never take it for granted. It all can end much to soon. Kathie

[MsJewel]

Kathie, It can end all too soon - I know that feeling well having lost my soul mate very suddenly a few years ago. He is my angel now. Thank you for your kind words :) Julie

[Dara]

My favorite line is: "not the power of my fragility as weakened in your strength". To be fragile can be a power in and of itself. A beautiful thought and a lovely romantic write to start the evening off with.

[MsJewel]

Thank you Dara. :) Julie

As wild as the wind blows this love has connected in the nights breeze. Oh what a love story told by the master of poetry love my dearest friend Mrs.Jewels leaves no one behind and breaks all the rules.

[MsJewel]

You are very sweet Jim. Thank you for your lovely review :) Julie

[Coyote Poetry]

A wonderful tale described in the poetry.
"For nothing is hidden…nor forbidden
not the power of my fragility
as weakened in your strength
pressing us closer together"
Fearless lovers know no bounds or limits. Thank you dear Poet for sharing the excellent poetry.

Fearless is two in love... :) Julie

[Coyote Poetry]

I agree. Need two to tangle.

[wordman]

I really enjoyed the read

[MsJewel]

I'm thrilled you enjoyed it Ron. Thank you my sweet friend :) Julie

[wordman]

you are always welcome

Okay… this is just unbelievably sensual and romantically erotic. I really think the WC writers of romantic poetry should publish together! So much of your work would belong in a featured space in such book.

[MsJewel]

Thank you for your lovely comment and compliment :) Julie
