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...

I LOVE your review... Thank you so much,
Lisa

A tender heart, a tender body a tender soul
together they wanted you more and more...
Lisa you capture the emotions so well with your words, very aptly titled. Your image selection is also on spot. Definitely a highly rated poem from my side.
Thanks dear for creating this...

Good imagery and storytelling. Nice and consistent rhyme scheme. Good wording. I especially liked the inclusion of “wantonly,” and the creation of, “Time becomes a moment for us to share.” Good and separated ending. Nice choice to separate the last two bars and make them. I also like the picture.

[Lisasview]

Wow, what a nice review...My structure with this one was each line 10 syllables.... like a Sonnet with just two lines at the end...
I love finding just the right image for my words..
Lisa, on my computer, playing catch~up.

This is the kind of passion that is almost deadly. To give oneself to another so deeply that the thought of losing that love to another person could make one hurt physically and emotionally. Is it okay to love someone so deeply, to be so vulnerable? I have always wondered. Your poems don't need much imagination as it pulls you in vividly. It's as if I'm the person I'm reading about. You are a true writer.

[Lisasview]

What a wonderful review dear Flo. The fact that my poem pulled you in and, made you feel exactly what I always attempt to do in my poetry is fantastic!!
Thank you!!!!
Lisa

A tricky ending and a lovely, tender poem; soft imagery, full of sensuality; sometimes even when you trust someone's love, you get smacked with a lie, in this case another woman, and all of your hopes e=seem to wither...and the memories fade, as it's too sad to focus....well written Lisa....
Best, B

[Lisasview]

Thank you dear Betty...
I am so happy to know you understood the essence of my poem..

Lisa, getting late in Spain

[Betty Hermelee]

You're very welcome!!!

The title does justice to this piece..... I can 'feel' the agony in "Still love you darling, your full lips of lust;
losing you to her I could never bear ".... we make these beautiful memories that although sad is enough for a lifetime of love.

[Lisasview]

And, now a 4th lovely review from you dear SM... so kind of you!!

Check my Library ... It is being filled to the brim of wonderful, not grim, with your poetry ...

[Lisasview]

Good morning Marvin,
I see that I never responded to your message... I do not see a library of yours... I think you mentioned in another message that you too could not find it??
Lisa

[Marvin Thomas Cox-Flynn..]

Lisa,

This piece of your exquisite heart penned to page is wonderfully sensual and most romantic, and, sadly, exhibits a bold hint of melancholy which I shall choose to deem and, probably wrongly, interpret as that inner of fear of losing one's true love to another for whatever undisclosed reason of doubt's inner fears of insecurity ...

Marvin Thomas Cox-Flynn de Graham (You can call me Marve)

[Lisasview]

Ahhh... dear Marve,
You are so right... I wrote this remembering past a past experience..Painful as it was at the time I did get over it and met Bob and now 42 years later we are happy together...Life can change daily...
Lisa

Love this sonnet. Flows so eloquently, and so tenderly. Deeply expressing one's once love that is painfully no more. I'm sure some as such me can relate in away... Well done!

[roarke]

A profoundly apt title here. Love, love making, so badly abused today, when love is spelled lust and portrayed solely for profit. Your poem gives heart to the beauty and treasure of love. Your poetry has such a natural voice.

[Lisasview]

Wow, Roarke,
Looks like you are on a roll reading my poems..
Thank you so much..
When I write the words just flow out of me...I often feel I am not the one actually writing... weird..
I am glad when you say that my words have a natural voice...Really means so much to me.
Goodnight, Lisa...in Spain

Tenderness is what make love grow and expand.
"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."
I loved the above lines. Kind hands on willing skin. Ambrosia for the lucky dear Lisa. Thank you for sharing the amazing poetry.
