Tender

Rhyming Quatrains and Couplet

    Tender ....

   Tender hands caress my naked body, 

   satin sheets glide between our entwined arms,

   morning changed from bright sunlight to cloudy

   … soft, grey-blue eyes full of your loving charms.

   

   Pulling me closer, I feel your desire ...

   dance me with love, as evening starts so grand.

   These moments with you, I will never tire;

   touch me ~ wantonly with your warm sure hand,

   

   Knowing well what I always want and trust.

   Time becomes a moment for us to share.

   Still love you darling, your full lips of lust;

   losing you to her I could never bear.

   Life is such, that things often need to change.

   By the window … now, you're far out of range.

Not sure where this came from.. But my mind often plays tricks on me and forces pen to paper to fill the page with hidden thoughts and meanings.

Lisa,
In a world of sensory overload, all those sweet sensual moments, caresses, nibbles, and kisses, that look of desire burning in the other's eyes, are like cool water in the desert, a refuge from chaos, and nourishment for a thirsty soul. Anyone who might wander away from all that sweet candy between the sheets deserves to never find it again...

Hi Vol,
I am going through each of my poems and making sure that I read and thank each person for their review. I see that you wrote me a very nice review for Tender a year ago... So please accept my apologies for my very late response.
I LOVE your review... Thank you so much,
Lisa

I think your strongest line is “dance me with love”; it paints a picture of an emotion, which is something only poetry can do; otherwise, we might as well be writing prose.

Hi Winston,
I am going over all my many reviews to make sure that I have thanked everyone... and I see one that you wrote for Tender, a year ago...
So sorry for the delay in thanking you...

Another romantic piece that calls out from your pen. Full of longing images and great passion as well as that fear of loss.

[Lisasview]

Yes, to love someone and find that he or she is cheating and planning to leave is difficult..very difficult...
Luckily I was very very young when that happened and I have moved on...

Almost a sonnet Lisa, a lovely poem .....

[Lisasview]

What a very kind thing to say..felt like a sonnet as I was writing it but it just isn't... Glad you liked it Stella...

I do like it Lisa, i have a special likeness for poems written in form :)

Poems have a way of writing themselves. I know ... you start out with one intention; and BAM! a sharp right turn, and the ending is completely different. This one started out so beautiful and romantic and then the thought of another woman just crops up out of nowhere. Life is funny that way. Well done.

[Lisasview]

Hi Linda,
I feel the exact same way... I had absolutely no idea where this poem was going and then my pen just took over. Many of my poems take a sharp turn..
Thank you for your thoughtful review,

[Julie McCarthy (juliesp..]

This is beautiful one of your best
Lisa
Hope you are well !

[Lisasview]

Hi Julie, Wow what an amazing thing to say... I wrote it last year and after it had some reviews it got pushed behind because of the new ones I wrote...So the other day I moved it to the top and oh my goodness...I have been getting reviews... Reviews can be so inspiring and move me to write even more.

Sometimes the pen makes the thought by following unseen lines from the mind, the way birds find their way to their migratory land, never fully understanding, but pushed onwards by the unknown knowing.
Maybe in another moment, time will let you understand where it came from and why.

[Lisasview]

I really love your review!!
Thank you so much,
Lisa

You're welcome 😊

[Perdition]

Wonderful that these romantic formats still work and when the right poet finds their mark we are returned again to the golden age and era of Shakespeare when its perfection thru the language Elizabethan was achieved… though here I would argue a wonderful revival. You said to think is good and I would argue that to feel is better. Both a worthwhile aim or mark for the poet to his reader but once written it is out of our hands. Very visual with your addition of choice…to have had a moment in that era with goblet and quill, well, would there be an equal? Beautifully written Lisa!

[Lisasview]

Your review made me smile!
Since when I posted this one last year I did not get many reviews I decided to move it to the top of my long list of poems and Voila... two reviews already.. Yes, i do have a tendency to return to the golden era...not always but often...and yes, to feel... I think that when I typed think I probably actually meant to feel...
Lisa, no rain...

[Soyam]

Something that can only be feel, you just expressed those mesmerizing feelings into words...

"Knowing well what I always want and trust.
Time becomes a moment for us to share,"

What a beautiful line. Shows how much he loves her, Knowing specially what trust she holds for him.

Very well written ma'am.

[Lisasview]

Wow, I am so delighted that you found this poem which I posted last year... and I am even more delighted that you enjoyed it.
Thank you so much for taking the time to read and review...
