I Want To Be

The first Friday Night Write in a long time......

I want to be…..

the cologne evaporating on your chest
as the air conditioner swirls over your skin
after a shower

the merlot tickling your tongue
as a vapor trail of crystal beads slips down your goblet
to kiss your hand

the sweetly sensual thought making you smile
sating your every hunger
in the middle of a routine day

a droplet of nourishment for your soul
the soothing sensation for which you search
when the world is too rough

the tune you hum to yourself
without even thinking about it
loving how it makes you feel

I want to be yours

Author's Note

A special thank you to two of my friends, Jim and Pat, who urged me to post a Friday night write.

Their are people in my life who do this for me... Just thinking about them is as real as if I actually were sipping the wine. It is heavenly and I feel it indicates a mental maturity to be satisfied in this experience of the mind. Of course I'm not ready to turn away the flesh at t his point either. Ha.
This is a good desire to have however Lydi. To be the joy in another person's day or life is a blessing beyond receiving our own dreams for ourselves.
Lovely poetry from a lovely poet!

David, your reviews make me stand a little taller and smile a little more. Thank you so much. Have a wonderful day. Lydi**

[David Scott]

Well now I am standing taller, or at least sitting up straighter. :)
Thank you for being who you are and for sharing your delightful poetry here with us all.
I am happy to see you found a little bit of sunshine.

[Lydia Shutter]

:) have a good day, David!

[Troy Henson]

I have one person in my life that this resonates with. Oh how I watch her and the wine spills into my mouth tantalising my inner desires to one day have the courage to ask her to be mine....what a wonderful feeling this is to have.

Regards
Troy

[Patricia Wedel]

dear Lydi... aging wine with a hint
of woodsy sunshine enhances the
romance of sensual souls savoring
merlot moments touched by
flowers blooming and the humming
of music by Monet. Your poetry
is hauntingly beautiful.
truly... Pat

[Lydia Shutter]

Your reviews are always so poetic, Pat....merlot moments....love how that rolls off the tongue. Thank you so much. Lydi**

[Patricia Wedel]

Lydi... you are welcome... Merlot and Monet... I adore
the paintings of Monet... One could listen to Mozart while
enjoying the paintings of Monet... but perhaps Monet had his
own music... to inspire his paintings... and perhaps his own
vineyards to produce Merlot. touched by a butterfly of dreams...
truly... Pat

It has been a long time and once in a while I travel through pages of poetry! You had not lost your zest for it and that's good. Your poem is just splendid!

Love this sensual but elegant piece. The air conditioner doesn't seem so cold when you put here like this, ha. And where I am it's still pretty cold. Love your use of words here ever so smoothly off your pen err keys. :o)

[Lydia Shutter]

Turn the air conditioning up if you are cold! :) Glad you enjoyed the write. Take care. Lydi**

Don't mind if I do. ;o) My pleasure. Thanks, and you too take care. @{/:o)

After reading I am almost convinced that it's Friday night again and that is a splendid, surreal, feeling, quite an achievement Lydia, even though it is really only Tuesday !

Kudos once more to your creative and sensuously divine writing !!
