Not Just My Flesh

...what we all want

 

I feel you not just in my flesh, but in my spirit

In my spirit you help HIM heal me

you bring...it

Not just in my flesh

but in my heart...it races, and skips spaces

its teaching me to trust love again

and believe HIM

to live the end...to again begin

Not just my flesh...oh boy

you are bringing me my stolen joy

what is deeper than not just my flesh

my nerves, my blood, my bones

that hold me         

mold me

create in me

and make me...moan

when not just my flesh can be touched

but what you do to my mind

when you cant see my beee...hind~

and when not just my flesh, you can reach

your soul can teach

not just my flesh

but protect, and cover

not as my lover

but as my soldier, warrior of light

travelin' through the dark

til you

can...

do

more to me

than just my flesh.

I'm going have to assume that you're talking about that you want strong sensual rather than sexuality, right? I'm pretty sure that there are many other meanings behind those lines, but hey, that's just me

On the other hand, I really enjoyed reading this piece, because it sure had given me a lot of thoughts about it, so it's all good tho...

I love how you both create and dissipate the tension between sensual/physical love and spiritual love as well as the use of the final transition of the lover into teacher and warrior. Poetry as a means of story telling is a wonderful art and it's good to see and read a story about a universal human experience in well crafted verse. Thank you!

Wow, a wonderful experience in unmetered free verse, it's difficult to get the image of spirituality in balance, you've done this very well. if I could I'd give you a hunderd n' fiddy pts. :)

All i can say is i get your message and this is beautiful. You empathized the phrase not just in my flesh, by making the words bold and italized. I like this.

So very what I have been seeking. Then when I felt it I ran. I know I can not have it right now or if it was true from whence it came. How can you ask a stranger if he felt that too when u both entered into it for just the flesh-filled reasons.
I love this piece. It touches me..not just my flesh. Wonderful.

This is absolutly amazing stuff. I love the flow it takes. As I read it, it was almost as if I could hear it being preformed as a spoken word on stage.

I liked the repetitive use of, "Not just in my flesh" to keep the poem anchored throughout the poem. To me you were seeking the deeper spirtual side of love. I enjoyed the write.
