Come here! (slightly hot)

Free Verse

         

Come here!

Let's wrap-up in one another ... 
share enough time 
to watch tree bark grow. 

Grab a piece of sky, 
compare it to my eyes;
I'll caress your face,
imagining the velvet touch
of a sigh's softness, 

or ... 

what your quiv'ring thighs 
feel like 
embracing rippled ache
of rigid ardour. 

Grass traces the wind, 
your eyes my soul, 
and every vein 
in every leaf 
the designs 
our blood 
follows 
to every place, 
calling to be filled ~ 
fulfilled. 

Deep, soft, sensual;
the pools 
of your eyes. 

Into them I dive, 
becoming 
lost inside You ... 

Come here! 

Oh, take me there, 
show me 
what eyes can never see, 
only that which 
lovers know ... 
feel ... 
taste ~ 
with, without the tongue. 

No book yet ever written 
tells us how to love, 
(not that they do not try); 
tells us how it feels to make-love, 
moving friction … 
sensations 
of it all;
yet, they try 
that, too. 

Come here! 

I'm ready, 
if you are ... 

Let's You and I 
find out 
and write 
our own book ~

Interesting...you took sky/eyes..ALMOST ryhme in your little free verse and repeated the word TRY. Hmmm. Drive, try, I and inside...repetition of the long (i) sound..got it. plenty of nice little breaks, has the reader pondering thoughts..emphasis on come here! To the question in a sense..If you are....is she? hmm presentation is lovely..smooth flowing, winding down..to hopeful anticipation.

Nice observation of my intertwining technique, Susan, one that keeps the rhymes quiet, yet, allows a semblance of them to slightly tease the senses, eh?
Nothing's amiss with your more feminine intuitions, either. ; )

Warmest hugs! ⁓ Richard ✨

[Angelheart1]

Oh, what a beautiful invitation - and I got here as fast as I could. 😊

The sensual wording you have laid upon the page has melted my heart and left me in a puddle, drowning in them as they so gently caress my skin and reach deeply into the core of my being.

Dear Richard, you truly are a rare poet - one whose words speak directly to the reader, making them feel as if your words were written just for them.

Thank you for sharing YOU here on WC and I look forward to reading more.

[Richard🖌]

Come on in, AH!
With such a greeting, what man with warm blood pumping could resist inviting you to join him?
Not I! ; )
When a review equals, or eclipses, one's poem, especially with the stirring touches and caresses yours has, what's left to do but surrender willingly … helplessly?
I must smile, not a smile of humor, but the satisfaction of knowing an akin soul is present and speaking with me in sentiments and sensations I so warmly grasp and relate to.

It truly is I who thank You, but you are certainly warmly welcome, Dear Lady-Poet! ⁓ Richard

[Kristan A. Mohammed]

Wow. This is really awesome. I really love your style of writing and language. It's simply breathtaking. My favorite line are "Grass traces the wind,
your eyes my soul, "

Truly magnificent. And you have just the right amount of eroticism in here. Which is so important.
Great job. Stay inspired.
Also, If you don't mind, I'm sharing this to my facebook wall.

[Richard🖌]

Gosh, Kristan!
You must have become so very tired by now, waiting for my response to your fine review of this softly sensual, erotically romantic little composition of warmly emotional imagery.
How wonderfully gratifying your words of praise and relatability are to a hopeful bard's desire to write, share, and please his readers, the way you've expressed I have for you.
Of course, share anything of mine you wish … it is an honor and pleasure to serve you.

Many thanks and many blessings to you, my very astute and generous Friend! ⁓ Richard

[Kristan A. Mohammed]

You're quite welcome.

[annalysiar]

Wow talk about amazing. That was sensational! Smooth and plain silky.

[Richard🖌]

Thank you, my fine Fellow-Texan, for your "smooth and silky" review of this sensually-romantic little piece … you are quite "amazing" with your praise, too … blessings to you! ⁓ Richard

[annalysiar]

Thank you old friend

[Penlady]

Breathtaking invitation...I too, love the playfulness yet tender yearning intimated...

[Richard🖌]

Thank you, M'Kind Lady, for the praise and much appreciated sentiments shared! ⁓ Richard

[Sultrysoul]

This poem is sensual in a subtle and artistic way. The expression of grabbing the sky, makes me think of a man softly drawing his woman to him. They stare into their eyes, the first form of unspoken seduction.

Grass traces the wind, is the mutual touch and exploration of each other's bodies. Exploring with fingers like the grass plays with the wind. Every vein in the leafs and designs blood follows, paints the picture of what a mans girth turns into when brought to full arousal.

Soft sensual pools of the eyes is both the eyes and the pools of both desires begging to be filled. Now taking each other. Him entering her and them making their own lovemaking the way their own bodies move.

It makes me feel captured in the feelings. In that sensual way that is appealing. Sometimes there's a need for just sex, but there's always a need for sensual,slow lovemaking. This puts me into that lovemaking, making it my own. Thank you for sharing Richard truly enthralling.

[Richard🖌]

Oh, you are sooo very welcome, SS!
How beautifully you've expressed your thoughts, feelings, and sentiments of this warming little piece to romantic sensuality, and how appreciative I am of your beautiful interpretations, each a poem within itself, and how breathless you've left me from them, too. ; )

Somehow, I feel "in the mood" … thank you so much, Dear Lady-Poet, for so much! ⁓ Richard

[Sultrysoul]

It is as always my true pleasure.

[John Alexander McFadyen]

A beautifully sensual (mildly erotic), piece with still a classical overtone to it Richard.

[Richard🖌]

Gosh, John!
How did I miss your thoughtful and considerate comments on this one … sorry, My Friend.
Thank you so very much, John! ⁓ Richard

[Annie Gryphon]

Dear Richard, you know how much i love your poems. Especially the line "Grab a piece of sky ..." is so lovely and inspiring as the idea of writing a book of love, together with the loved one. But what i love most about your poems: they giving me images of something meaningful. They re telling stories full of secrets. Thank you Richard for being the bard you are.

[Richard🖌]

Oh, Annie!
That you love anything I do makes sharing it more than worthwhile to me … thank you so much!

How very pleasantly warmed you make me feel, M'Dear, and that is not a "secret"! : )
As long as you keep loving my poems ~ I will keep loving sharing them with You! ~ Richard

[....................]

A book written by two, for two... the promise of love to last an eternity written by one who does not simply want to 'be' with his lover but to be 'in' his lover in every sense of the word: body, mind, heart, and soul...the visual mirrors the title perfectly... the three movements of the piece, separated by the title words, also depict the three stages of the 'lover's night': the pillow talk of dreamy poetry where nature is used to describe the vision he sees; the the promise of physical foreplay unfolded in stark form; and the invitation to 'write' that book...

I enjoyed this piece, Richard... well-done!

[Richard🖌]

Thomas,
Your insightful interpretation is dead on the mark, my friend, and in every way your words convey, you've grasped this sweetly-romantic little sizzler.

Now, this is what I call a gin-u-wine, class-A review that speaks to the author in ways he knows his poem has been read and understood as he would want it to be.

You make me happy I decided to share it … big smiles 'n bushels of thanks to you! ~ Richard

[~]

Ah, yes your pen has more than just 'a few notions' when it comes to setting limbs aflame. :D
There is a lot of passion within this seemingly simple invitation.
I enjoyed the playfulness of it, as well as the combination of the imagery between life in nature and life in us. The free verse fits perfectly the mood and the tone of the verses.
A book of passionate love, written for intimate eyes only.

[Richard🖌]

How warmly your knowing, feeling, sweet words reward and fulfill me, M'Lady, and how delightful it is for my humble little efforts to be appreciated and understood by a beautiful poetess I both admire and respect.

Thank you, Dear moonskittles … big hugs to you! ~Richard
