Winding Rivers

Like the flow of water you washed over me

Winding Rivers

 

Trickling slowly downstream the water flows

Like the smoothness of your words

To my ears

Whispered promises of love and laughter

Soft as the touch of your hand

On my skin

Currents that rage and passions that roar

Like the heat of your love

In my soul

You spun your web around me in cotton soft threads

Consuming, like the look in your eyes

That moved me

I saw tomorrow when you spoke to me

Bright as the rays of the sun in the sky

That warmed me

Over rocks the water splashes and slams

Like the impact of your callous ways

On my tender heart

Flow on downstream away from this place

Erase my mind of your face and my skin

Of your touch

Wipe away the soft kisses and the after taste so sweet

Erase away the memories of that early morning touch

And kill within me the need…

Erase my mind of your face and my skin

Of your touch

Wipe away the soft kisses and the after taste so sweet

Erase away the memories of that early morning touch

And kill within me the need…

Wipe away the soft kisses and the after taste so sweet
Erase away the memories of that early morning touch
And kill within me the need…

This is beautiful, the sweet graceful flow of the poem mirroring the waters journey to end at this point with these words. Such sadness painted so softly, keep em' coming

the smoothness of winding rivers indeed!
its like you are drown in an ocean of love...its all very consuming...very deep...i cant find more words--you said it all in this exquisite poem!

[Rene Velez]

love is a raging river of emotion, nicely done, love and caring, so little to ask for but for some so hard to achieve...

[Neva Flores Smith - Cha..]

take this yearning from me as you I do not need. You are hurtful and yet my heart still longs for you........lovely piece

[Coyote Poetry]

I like the way you described the desire and the passion in the words. Using nature allow the reader to understand the feelings and the strength of love can be. Thank you for a excellent poem.
