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.

Author's Note

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

Sensuality abounds in this piece and, the artwork supports its suggestiveness. The loss of someone so special is very difficult....especially, if it is to someone else. I have experienced it myself and know the pain. Great work my dear! Thank you!

[Lisasview]

Good morning,
Glad you could relate to my poem...
Thank you for your kind words,
Lisa

[Fran Marie]

A lovely sonnet of longing and desire
well crafted and deeply expressed
in both form and content

Nice work

[Lisasview]

Thank you for reading and reviewing my work.
I really appreciate it.
Lisa, now in Spain

[Gee]

When I read others reviews, especially Richard's, it confirms what a talented pen you wield Lisa. As said before this is never going to be a style of writing that I will seek out as it doesn't float my boat but that takes nowt away from how well this is written.
Good morning m'dear, hope you are well.
I'll be missing for the next week or so as our charity cycle ride starts tomorrow :))

[Lisasview]

Wow, what a very lovely thing to say... Especially ,since I do know this type of writing really is not for you. The mere fact that you still read it is really something!! I never wrote anything like my sensual poems before starting to 2 months ago... I still write other types of poetry of course.. I can not recall if you read my newest poem,Forevermore which is about death and love? Anyway, a million thanks..
I will be thinking of you riding your bike..
Lisa, early still in Spain

[Peter Rogerson]

I appear to have caused you grief by nor reviewing your work. I'm sorry. Let e put that right and say that I love the sensual and very human desire expressed, and the pain of loss to another.

[Lisasview]

Glad to hear from you.. no grief, just wondering because at some point if I review 3 times and I never hear back then I put that person on the do not read list...

These are moments we cherish forever and hunger for more. Again so well written. It’s a double edge sword really on one hand these moments are pure sublime but on the other is sadness on reflection.

[Lisasview]

Yes, that is oh so true a double edge sword but I would never take back the feeling of love that I had in that moment...Although a bit painful I am glad I was there..to learn from it..and move on..

[Robert Haigh]

A beautifully expressed sonnet, full of emotion and wistful thoughts. Whether it be fact or fiction, the storyline is a compelling one. Well penned!

[Lisasview]

You are so kind..I did not realize that my poem is a Sonnet..surprise..surprise..
My minds runs all over the place when it comes to love..Remembered loves, imagined moments, etc..
Thank you so much for your review,
Lisa

[Red Brick Keshner]

Happy anniversary (happened upon that bit of info, elsewhere on the site) and welcome back to WC (writers' café, not the other) May the tender moments continue to bring hope to the world and fond memories to those whom they intimately belong.

[Lisasview]

Good morning,
Thank you so much..
Not sure what you mean when you say welcome back to WC, no the other?
I wasn't gone from WC and there was no other?? Just want to clear that up...
Lisa, another beautiful day in Spain

[Red Brick Keshner]

Apologies, I really should be clearer with my words. I meant you’re back from Madrid.

[Lisasview]

Oh now I understand..
Thank you for clearing that up..

[Richard🖌]

Yum-eee! 😋

I see and feel nothing here but sheer perfection, Lisa, in every aspect of the word from title to final period, except L8 needs a syllable … suggest: "touch me ~ wantonly with your 'warm' sure hand," … refer to our work in messaging (the last example).

Gorgeous work, M'Dear! ⁓ Richard🖌

[Lisasview]

You are such a delightful person and oh so inspiring.. I appreciate your review so much.. I will make the correction..
Saying my work is Gorgeous...wow...weee!!!!
Lisa

[Richard🖌]

Lisa,
The iambics are incorrect for a Sonnet … but, it is a very well-scribed composition of three Rhyming Quatrains, with a concluding Rhyming Couplet enjoi.

[Lisasview]

Oh dear, I just added that it was a Sonnet today... Thank you for finding the error...

[Richard🖌]

As I suspected … in as mi=uch that you'd mentioned making edits and changes to some of your poems.

[Richard🖌]

🤭 OOPS!
In as mi=uch = "much" = BIG FINGERS

[Richard🖌]

Why is there no customary picture or artwork accompanying this piece, Lisa?

[Lisasview]

Are you speaking of my authors notes?

[Richard🖌]

No,Lisa,
I spoke because there was no picture, until I paused AdBlock.

[Lisasview]

Oh those dog gone adBlocks!!
Glad you saw my image.

[duff]

I call this heart on your sleeve writing. There is a vulnerability throughout that shows experience has led to this beautiful piece of poetry. I really enjoyed reading this.

[Lisasview]

Wow, what a wonderful and thoughtful review.. Yes, heart on my sleeve.. and yes, years of living brought this poem out of me. I have several poems that I have submitted that I wrote in the 70's when I was in my 20's time changes us...
Thank you for your review..
Lisa, now in Spain

[duff]

You are so welcome and I look forward to diving more into your work.

Good Morning Sweet Lisa🌸

Funny, I was trying to write something from a week that includes (loss) and I came across this poem of yours today. love the photo, it feels tender and sad at the same time in black and white, yet with the while light from the window it reflects the dim light of hope. the photo mirrors your poem perfectly, completely and affectedly. my favorite lines;

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

want is not the same as need, want comes for the strongest love, trust is love, without trust there is no love. and yes... time become timeless a moment... when we are in love, so these two lines of yours are brilliant and very well written because they simply embrace the essence of love.

[Lisasview]

Oh my goodness my darling friend,
I can not believe I did not thank you for your wonderful review.. (I believe I used my phone to respond but I now see my message never got to you.) I read your review right after you posted it and I was quite sure I wrote back but now going back over this poem I see I did not.
You are so connected to what I was saying in my poem...and, I am so appreciative of your kind words. You are correct..Want is not the same as needs... I am also happy to know that you know why I chose that particular photo..the dim light of hope...trust is such an important thing...
Lisa
