SPEAK WITH ME

Teach me how to love you deeply… I want to… in every way… and I make this promise to you… I will.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Speak with me

Let me dance in the lucid waves of your thoughts

Understanding your deepest places

You have dreams, fears, desires, interests, and aspirations

Speak them to me… I will breathe mine into you as well…

 

Sit by me

May silence sing over us like autumn winds

Recognizing your sweet presence

We need the scent of each other to fill us and define us

Sit here beside me and be with me… just be with me…

 

Share with me

Give me gifts of chocolate covered smiles

Knowing your loving expressions

I’ll learn your loves as well, to give to you just because

Share with me those small joys that mean so much…

 

Serve by me

Our hands together making light work

Realizing we were meant to be us

I commit my hands and my back to help carry your load

Serve my needs and let me serve you every day…

 

Stroke me gently

Weave your fingers in mine like a French tapestry

Appreciating how our heat melts us into one

Sensuality fires passion, you always will be my one obsession

Stroke my skin, and let me learn to please you in every way…

 

Author's Note

Inspired by the book “The Five Love Languages” by Gary Chapman. He lists these as Words of Affirmation, Quality Time, Receiving Gifts, Acts of Service, and Physical Touch. Each of us needs these in a relationship (given and received), though everyone uniquely requires a differing mix in order to feel most loved and accepted…

There was a time, long ago, that all five of these things
were found... then lost. Or, thrown away.
Each of these 5 things are expressed beautifully and I
felt the sensation of a tear well up... are these things
really possible? Can a man really love a woman like this
visa versa? I used to believe this to be true. Now, I find
that life is simply too cruel and at this age, it's simply
too late. Nothing is as it should be, nor ever shall be...
YET, this poem bleeds Hope!! Love it :)

Wow, such a good one! I love it!

So sweet and respectfully affectionate (well, isn't that a mouthful).
I think that Mr. Gary Chapman is a pretty bright fellow, and I think that you are a pretty bright fellow for being able to take an idea and turn it into art.
Another great poem, Craig!

Relationships are wonderful when all our needs are met...I like the way you turned this into a poem...so true.

[Onyx_Rayne]

Beautiful, sensual, tender... this piece has all of the elements of love. Unfortunately, too often many of these are lost in relationships. Life, itself, sort of beats us down and takes our strength from concentrating on what our partner needs...and even seeking what we, ourselves, need.

"Sit by me
May silence sing over us like autumn winds
Recognizing your sweet presence
We need the scent of each other to fill us and define us
Sit here beside me and be with me… just be with me… " - this stanza speaks of contenment and peace. Two things we need, in every relationship, not just the romantic ones.

Your work is always a joy to read... your imagery leaves pictures dancing in my head long after the read.

Truly excellent work :)

This poem touched my essence as a female….
I have not read before …
Any poem written by a male ….about love…
With such a genuine blend of psyche and physique…
Fantastic…

This piece is not only passionate but brilliant in the way you describe the meaning. This is a lesson everyone should learn, and even more, should always remember. It is so true that this is exactly what a human being needs to be pleased... Your piece is so unique... And so amazing.

I've read the book by Gary Chapman. This is a lovely inspiration born of that concept.

[Liza]

this is so heart felt
a genuine expression of a willingness to listen with an open mind, heart and spirit
it shows the attention and intention to please

[Quaddeth]

I believe this poem to be one of the greatest, male written pieces of prose i've ever read, simply because it not only encaptures the masculinity of love but the physicality of love as well, the idea that love doesn't always have to be about subconscious desires and feelings but visual acts of tenderness. Perfectly written and a really enjoyed read, thanks.
