I WOULD...IF I COULD

I WOULD...IF I COULD

A Poem by ReedWrite
"

A poem...who knew?

"


I would trail my words,

   Like gentle fingertips,

Along the flesh of your mind.

Feeling the shiver,

  Hearing the moan.

So intoxicatingly sublime.

 

I would taste your response,

   Like pearls on the tongue,

Rich beyond simple imagining.

Trembling with ardor,

   Gasping with need,

Every cell compelled to sing.

 

I would burn your soul,

   Living fire from within,

That sears you to your core.

Scorching inhibitions away,

   Melting reason and rhyme,

Bringing you ever back, for more.


I would...if I could...

Whether it's about physical union...or the meshing of minds...there is something incredibly intoxicating when like spirits connect.

This speaks of love on a whole other plane. (Not the mile-high knee-trembler in United Airlines toilet type of plane) .; p
The type of joining that is beyond the physical. Pure energies merging and being way more than the sum of them. Such a love - such a 'meeting' is forever burned into the psyche... regardless of whether any physical conjoining occurs.
This is brilliant ReedWrite

This piece fills my heart with warmth ... it's certainly beautiful in its ethereal descriptions and almost dream-like in its essence ... I felt like I was floating on clouds as I read it. It definitely proves your author's note correct ... there is indeed "something incredibly intoxicating when like spirits connect." This reminds me of the poem "Variations on the Word Sleep" by Margaret Atwood: https://www.poets.org/poetsorg/poem/variation-word-sleep

I enjoyed ... keep writing.

I thought i smelled smoke when I logged-on ...whew!
Seems to me you're doing quite a good job of it already, and 'if" you "could" any better, we'd have to call out the fire brigade … LOL!
I can just see the guys all queuing-up and elbowing each other out of the way to read this one. ; )

Beautifully rendered in splendid poetic voice, I think nerves I forgot exist have come alive!
Goodness, Poetess … someone poured radioactive ink into your inkwell.
I love it, and can't thank you enough for brightening the evening … just hope I can sleep tonight! ⁓ Richard
