Inamorata

In your mouth you hold my heart

In your hand my dreams

 Upon your wrist the future rest

Your feet in my hands, the water cleans

The smell of your skin is my baking bread

The small of your back my home

You are inamorata, forever

 Every smile, Every step, Every cell, Every bone

~ i really liked the way this piece of poetry unraveled... ~ the title is unusual and yet by the time one reaches the last two lines, one can relate to it so well... ~ and i like the flavour of contemporary english which gets accentuated by the the deployment of the words "cell" and "bone"... and i like the flavour of classical english which gets highlighted in the expression "The smell of your skin is my baking bread"... ~ this is definitely a rewarding read...

Thank you so much. Very kind of you to take the time.

Wow. This is SO beautiful, written with so much heart I was taken aback.

[Neal S]

Thank you so much, i'm glad you liked it!

[Bala Gorthi]

This is exactly how it feels in love but very rarely can one express with this kind of devotion.. An absolute pleasure reading it every verse, every word in its pure essence..
Delightful adoration Neal, for one's Inamorata ..what a lyrical word! Thank you very much for the RR. I would have missed a masterpiece..

[Neal S]

Thanks for taking the time to read it. And for the lovely review!

Inamorato - was going to google that one. But once you start to read the poem you totally get what it's about. I am sure that many of us can relate to this poem. How a one who you love so dear, literally meaning the world to you. I have to say that this made me think of my wife and how much i dearly love her. She is my world and forever will be.

This is such a beautiful poem.

Mark.

[Neal S]

Thank you Mark. I do hope that every one of us can feel something like this at some point in their life.

Thanks Man

Just saying it as it is

I loved this really well written poem,
I love the comparisons that you have made, and the poem had an intriguing title.
I learnt a new word too. :)
Thanks

[Neal S]

Thanks for the review Ashan. Yeah great word. I always like to get my learn on as well. :)

[D Connolly]

Oh baby, this is sexy as hell Neal. Good imagery! I like it

[Neal S]

lol. Thanks so much!

[D Connolly]

Haha, forgive me if my reviews aren't as eloquent as others; I'm a savage :)

[Neal S]

No need for forgiveness. About as honest a review as there could be. (And by they way. Not that this is of course. But i'm terrible at reviews)

[Kelly Scheppers]

"...the small of your back, my home" did it for me. The smell of skin being the baking bread gave the love a good foundation.

This gives an ethereal feeling, Neal.

[Neal S]

So glad you enjoyed it. :)

One way to describe the love of your life. Valentine

[Neal S]

Once again. Thank you for taking the time.

[Ken Simm.]

Interesting. This seemed to progress. It is one of those writes that make you feel that the next line is the one that should go there and no other will do.

[Neal S]

Thank you Ken.

Deep love and affection and adoration and a sweeping feeling of peace. Gorgeous poetry. R xo

[Neal S]

Thank you ma'am! :)

A dissection of love that can only be articulated by a poet in this way. I agree with the reviewer who descibed the style and language as being "classical".,which makes it so effective.

[Neal S]

Thank you again Norman.
