TEACH ME

Teach me to love you

to know you deeply

to sense your heartbeat

and your passions in life

take my fingers

place them on your lips

so I  can trace your words

sigh when I please you

so I learn to please you more

chats and richly colored conversations

patterns… passion… paintings

chocolate and coffee

one lump or two

a little cream perhaps

teach me to love you

to know you.. understand you

feelings..  what makes you feel secure

and what causes you fear

those dark places

even you’re afraid to enter

I want you to know

so that I don’t just love an image

that I love you for who you really are

every wrinkle, every blemish

moving across every curve

of your thoughts

mine to love

until I know you

better than I know myself

and I can love you

completely

Love must be as much a light, as it is a flame. ~Henry David Thoreau

Just...whoa. Your words fill me with a sense of amazement and awe. You and your words just honestly make me just stare at them because all I can wish is to be as good a writer as you. You affect more than just the mind with your poetry. You are going to go so far.

[Echoes of Eros]

How your words and your heart give mine such wings. Thank you, precious poet. xo

I love this, it shows your willingness to really know someone beyond the surface. It shows patience and care which I love. I really appreciate your writing style, I always find myself smiling when reading your works. please continue my lovely :)

[Echoes of Eros]

Your presence here always lifts my soul, precious poet. May your joy fill the world with the pure bliss of knowing you more. xo

[Erainor]

I really liked this. As a dude, it's hard for some guys to be able to express themselves that well, let alone want to verbally display his desire to please a woman he cares for. Great job!

[Writing Angel]

wow..as the picture is vivid...your words are different..more rare as they tell of not just you but rather anyone...

[Echoes of Eros]

I thank you so deeply. I am only learning to love; only awakening to its endless light. xo

[Writing Angel]

watch the light..for when it becomes dim..run as you may be wise to flee before the pain spreads like wildfires

[Une coccinelle]

Thank you for matching the beauty of words with that of the true sense of a women. Love coming from the inside out.

[Echoes of Eros]

Thank you for your tender words. There is such beauty that awakens in the soul, beauty that is eternal. xo

[Chris]

All the things you so want to say while in reality you're soooo wordlessly looking into the eyes that pause your very breath.

[Echoes of Eros]

Ah, yes, it is a loving quandary. Wanting to know more, but already so lost in the lover. Thank you, Chris.

[John Alexander McFadyen]

To wish to know someone so, so intimately in order to better attend their needs is indeed true love as true love is giving and kind and never self serving!

[Echoes of Eros]

Thank you so much, John. It isn't an easy thing, but Love is worth the effort always.

[Kelly Scheppers]

Sometimes I fail to know how to begin to write a comment, whenever I read something as eloquent and beautiful and moving as this!

It is perfection...and simply staggers my mind.

[Echoes of Eros]

To have your presence here is like a sunrise, dear Kelly. I truly appreciate your beautiful words. xo

[Nadia Gerassimenko]

That was truly sublime! How delightful when one wishes to know every pixel of someone else and love them inside and out as they appear and as they are. Not all choose to go that far profoundly.

[Echoes of Eros]

I so deeply appreciate your words, dear poet. Thank you with all my heart! I am a very solitary man (a hermit you might say) because I desire fewer, yet deeper friendships. And this is now what I seek with another soul. xo

[Nadia Gerassimenko]

I am the same as you, dear friend!

[Coyote Poetry]

Gentle and strong words. I like the need and the want of the words.
"that I love you for who you really are
every wrinkle, every blemish
moving across every curve
of your thoughts"
I agree with the above lines. Must love the scars and the imperfection to appreciate need and love. Thank you for sharing the outstanding poetry. Get a chance. Read my poem. "Teach me tiger'. A European singer sang the song. "Teach me tiger". I believe you would like.
