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.

Reviews

[Karen]

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!

I almost feel like this should be whispered when spoken. I am enamored of these lines:

Read the words
Let them dance upon your tongue
As they rest in the curls upon your chest
Quench your thirsts with them

[Lydia Shutter]

Once again, I thank you. You made my day start off right with your comments. Lydi**

Artwork and words were amazing. I wonder who will read our words and what we will with them? I enjoyed the desire of the poem. Felt like a soft voice tempting you to enjoy the words. Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry.

Wow Lydi, you have such a way with words.

"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"

The last two lines are great.

Thank you very much, Dye. Lydi**
