RED LACE

one step at a time...

 

RED- Ruby painted passion varying from glowing fire.

LACE- A fine open ornamental piece of fabric intertwining the flavor and spirit of mood.

 

There was something in the way he caught my hand and made me stay

It was like a friendly gesture of “just give me a chance”

His touch caressed up my arms, it didn’t hold that sweet blazing torment that I crave for

But I did feel the spark of a flame

 

There was something in the way his eyes took me under

It was like he was scanning setting out to listen

And what he heard was a silence hushing words that still swarm, but are no longer my own

“I can love you passed your pain” he whispered as his hands framed my face

 

There was something in his voice that made me pause

It was like a deliverance of relieving a minimal portion of what I hide

He drew in so close, “wholly broken…” his breath was on my neck

I closed my eyes and slowly nodded; yes

 

There was something in his press that made me bend

It was like a safe and protecting notion of sound

Reminding me that what is broken is not dead

“We’ll take it slow” were the words trembling at my ear

 

There was something in the way he put his hands in my hair that made me relax

A seductively smooth stroke assuring no pressure

My exhales streamed fragmentized as I felt his heart vibrate against my chest

“Is it ok if I hold you like this” I nodded yes as I felt all the want in his embrace

 

For the rest of the night wrapped up in no movement

That’s where we stayed

And I saw the thick dark wall that I built to keep a division planted

Liquefy into Red Lace

i really like the tenderness invoked in the poem...if not by a certain critic. i think the way you portray fragility and hesitation is really heartwarming--makes the daddy in me come out!

A strong poem of desire. I had to read a few times. I like flow and the description in this poem.
