taste, sip, gulp

taste, sip, gulp

 

where a taste

is akin to a sip

when sipping is apropos

you are more than wants the eyes

 

wide open

I take pleasure

in the shared warmth

reflected from you to me to you

 

the glow of you

is like the day’s first sun

kissing pink sand

and this morning

you look “more”

 

like a familiar song

once heard in a dream

the sound of your breath

makes the center of me with ease

 

I tremble slightly with joy

at the silent, sticky smack

your lips make as they part

for I am already lost in them

 

how can I not

gulp at the sight of this

buried treasure unearthed

before I wipe the sleep from my eyes

 

you love me

and I you

and this simple moment

has found me again

in the awe of together

This is gorgeous. I love the serene, transient moment you've created. In those moments, even one's morning breath just seems utterly enchanting, doesn't it? heehee. But seriously, what you've done is capture lovers waking and remembering why they love to begin with. It's simply put but ever so beautiful. Bravo, RobiN!

Nice and romantic.

Very good! Each stanza has a new image, but they flow together nicely. Nothing seems forced in this poem - good pace, good choice of words. For some unknown reason, the phrase silent sticky smack stays with me. The first poem of yours I read was Drooler - not as good as this one (but still good enough to prompt me to keep reading your postings) - and from the earlier reviews it looks like you have a lot of fans (justifiably so). :-)

I could I have expected any less than wonderful? This made my heart warm and my cheeks turn flushed. It is the type of sensual that brings out the pure sexiness in a person...this is fabulously written...Thanks for sharing.

A tender and beautiful write here, I like this. full of passion

[Collette]

wow, robin...just wow. This was a delicious tidbit of a beautiful scene. Of course, you added your own little saucy twist to it...the smacking lips and a deep gulp. I think you captured the essence of the morning after...or before, depending on where this plot goes! ;-)
anyway, the ending was a perfect way to close: sweet and savory.
Like a well-rounded meal, you've covered my need for sustenance...thank you for the suggestion!
