Caution

There you are again

in that little black dress,

golden hair resting on your shoulders,

a smile like sunshine on a spring morning

You look at me,

green eyes pierce my heart

now beating faster

There is so much I want to say to you,

how I feel,

how you make me feel

That I long for your kiss,

dream of your touch on a sultry evening

when the moon is full

Shining down on our bodies, skin against skin,

making sweet love

until the new dawn arises

I want to tell you, I have to tell you -

nervous or not,

they say, “Throw caution to the wind”

 

 

Obviously THEY have you ever been smacked in the face by caution -

 

It hurts like hell!

A wise and witty poem, Will - beware of caution!

[willweb]

Yes you have to be careful Rita. Thank you so much.

Being cautious comes in very handy sometimes, Will. I'm cautious... sometimes, HA! Nice write, my friend.

[willweb]

Thank you again Noodlehead. I am happy you are cautious at times and really happy you enjoyed this poem.

[Kayleigh]

I think being a little cautious is good sometimes. Hey, it never killed anyone, right? :)) Lovely job as always, Will -- You are on a roll.

[willweb]

Kayleigh, thank you for your kind words. You should go on a business trip more often. :)

[Kayleigh]

And why is that? Hey, my boss would have no problem with that, it's me that does. :))

[willweb]

I know, I was just teasing.

[Kayleigh]

I know, I was just playing around...

[Lyn Anderson]

The last line is a killer, Will, love this.

Thank you so very much Poppy for this nice review.

[Rene Salinas]

Emphatic building up of emotions at the beggining it made me say : "Oh yeah" "How long has it been since I felt that way"? I coudn't find that answer so I kept saying ,Yes, more and the crescendo all the way to I have to tell you by which point of course there is nothing left to say that: Oh come on just do it say it say it. And after reading that bit I laughed . The unexpected, the surreal charming , funny and clever.

Thankyou

Thank you so very much Rene for this nice review. I am happy you found the humor in this piece, that was what I was going for.

A bit of caution is always a good thing I think.
:-)

[willweb]

Yes it is or you need to make sure you know which way the wind is blowing before throwing it. Thanks so much Ance, I am happy you liked this one.

[Matching Socks]

Yes, true. That would be called risk assessment then. Also known as... Caution. :-P

[kublakhan27]

This one spoke volumes to me as your work often does...it took me back to the miserable days of high school when I was a quiet and extremely unpopular kid...my god I embarrassed myself a lot trying to express the most innocent feelings, let alone these ones...yes, caution packs a punch, no doubt about that...and the funny thing is, it's the ladies' men that usually fed that kind of advice to me...a painfully frank piece wrapped in rich and colourful imagery...as I look at the closing bit, I wonder if this is more of a tongue-in-cheek piece, but if there is any hint of negativity in a poem, that's the part I cling to, it's just my nature...great work as always will.

[willweb]

Thanks so very much Kublakhan27 for your great review of my poem. I know where you are coming from. I too wore a lot of egg in my day, it seemed the yoke was always on me. :) But you know what, those ladies men back in school couldn't write poetry for crap. I am happy you liked this one.

[kublakhan27]

Haha A very good point...I doubt they're writing any poetry now too...always a pleasure will.

[willweb]

No they're not because they're too fat and bald, slouching in their recliners watching "Real Housewives of Bocca Raton" wondering where they went wrong.

[kublakhan27]

Haha A lovely image indeed...I hope they don't hurt their heads wondering too hard, or maybe I do...I didn't care for a lot of people I went to school with as you can see :P

[MagicAl]

Love this!! So full of longing, I feel your ache through each and every line! :)

[willweb]

Thank you so much for your nice review today. Sometimes those longings don't work out like we hope. :)

[MagicAl]

Maybe not, but we can bit dream (until we get smacked in the face!) :)
