I Write

Positioning my heart just perfectly

so that emotions pour into my well of ink

for only you….I write

 

My emotions splattered

on the once naked page are meant for you

 

Will you caress my words tonight

holding them in places I will never dwell?

 

Read the words

Let them dance upon your tongue

As they rest in the curls upon your chest

Quench your thirsts with them

 

Listen to my private whispers

Allow my warm breath to enter your soul

and simmer there as double entendres

do dirty deeds upon the page

 

Yes, my darling

you need not question

tis for you…I write

 

 

Author's Note

We all write for different reasons, but most of us hope that special someone will read our words. I wrote this poem in 2002 and it was featured in my book in 2005.

I've often wondered why I write or for whom do I write. I've come to terms that there are many reasons I write, including emotional release, mental therapy, and raw need. But I've rarely written for a particular person though I've written with certain people in mind. While I do not have a set person that inspires me to write, I do have set experiences with people that inspire me to write. Regardless, Nature is my true Muse, and to Her I devote my oeuvre. Beautiful poem, Lydi!

We all write for different reasons, but one thing is certain...we all NEED to write. Thank you very much, Karen. I appreciate the in depth review. Lydi**

I can't get past that right above. The rest of the poem is brilliant but that part of it just kinda blows me away. The way that a writer can get into the depth of an emotion - and present it - it does require that perfect positioning of a heart. Well done.

I am humbled by your review, Tammy. Thank you so much. Lydi**

[Tom]

The pen is an omnipotent tool and has near limitless potential, though must be handled with due care, precision and of course imagination to maximize its effect, and you are indeed one of those highly skilled operators Lydia !

[Lydia Shutter]

I am humbled by your lovely review, Tom. Thanks so much. Lydi**

[Sanober]

Such a passionate yearning and dedication..Lydi......you have captured the true essence of a poet's heart. Your words deserve all the caressing and loving of the world. I hope your muse does all of it ;) So gloriously sensual...you are always a joy to read, my friend.

[Lydia Shutter]

And you, sweet Sanober, are a joy to have as a friend. Thank you for this lovely review. Lydi**

This is very deep and kind of sexual in a funny way.

So full of romance love and emotion.
Great write

[Lydia Shutter]

Sure it makes sense. Thanks for the review. Lydi**

[cimmy wuv xxxooo]

Anytime :)

[Trace]

I know the love you share with your husband is everlasting, and he is a lucky man to have such a loving and talented wife, but I don't believe the words you write are only for him because so many people just love reading your poetry and get so much from it. However, I don't see anything wrong with letting him think they are all only for him. LOL. Trace

[Lydia Shutter]

Smiling here....while I think of him when I write them, he seldom reads them, Trace. I am thrilled so many others find pleasure between the lines. Thank you for your review. Lydi**
