Stay

...imagination....

Stay

Stay,
sway with me,
cover me with your femininity
over and over, all over
with your hushed tones of night.
Stay,
sway with me.
***
I love how you close my eyes
whenever you touch me,
and my sighs
squeeze and tease
when you kiss me
over and over, all over
at first morning’s light.
Stay,
sway with me.
***
I love how your whisper
tickles my ear with goosebumps
and smiles tease these lips
into puckered submissions
and lilac flavored fantasies
over and over, all over.
Stay,
sway with me.
***
I just love
how you love me.
Stay.

[Michael X]

Such a rhythmic and romantic piece that expresses a soft aura of gentle persuade, this a soulful poem, great job!

[Lydia Shutter]

"Puckered submissions" OH MY! How can a woman resist the plea of "stay" when it is accompanied by such gloriously romantic imagery? Hinting at the sensual, but so elegant. Curt, you have such a romantic soul! Very "nice". Lydi**

[redzone]

such kind words Lydi, thank you.. your visits are always "nice"... ;0)

[Einstein Noodle]

awwwww! so very romantic .. makes me sigh .. the physical expression of deepest love is all that and more eh!? such a gentle, warm breeze in the reading
E.
ps. i can sing most of the words to that old song .. its a keeper!

[redzone]

I love that old song E, it's there tucked deep in my heart... thanks for your kind words E..

[Lyn Anderson]

Soft and romantic -- I especially love the line about closing ones' eyes when they touch you -- so tender, so gentle.

[redzone]

KL, good to see you here... have missed you and your comments, not to also mention your poetry... but also, thank you for your kind words, I am glad you enjoyed...

[Paul Bell]

Thought to begin with, this was an illicit affair.
Like the slow build up, as she charms only the way a woman happy in her own skin can. Who cares if it's only a song.

[redzone]

nope Paul, I don't do illicit affairs, glad that you came to see it differently... and definitely agree, a woman, happy in her own skin is a wonderful thing, music, a song, an adventure... if we open our eyes to really see her..

thanks Paul for your thoughts and visit

This is a beautifully seductive write! *wink! wink!* One of your finest (I've been saying that a lot on your reviews lately . . . must be that new notebook)! Your word play is exquisite: "you close my eyes when you touch me" (brilliant) . . . "squeeze & tease" . . . "puckered submissions" . . . amazing magic carpet ride thru the currently unreachable playground of sensual fun (((HUGS)))

[redzone]

it's nice to have imagination when things are unreachable.. ;0) thanks Margie for the *winks* and ((HUGS)) on this poem... back in HS when this song came out, I wanted to be this guy that she is singing about... I almost made it too and then got male stupid jealous and blew it... but this song has always been one of my favorites and the poem is today me singing to the imagination (once again)... so I am glad you enjoyed and overwhelmed by your review... thank you...

[barleygirl]

This is where we differ . . . I was always drawn to the songs about being a rolling stone. I couldn't even fathom love, so a song like this went right over my head (even tho I really like it!)

[redzone]

my being a rolling stone days never really materialized though when my first wife and I spit I said I would never love again, which actually lasted 4 years...

but I do understand where you are coming from... love, what it is and means changed in the 9 short years between our ages... though I think this song was somewhat ahead of its time (1961) in seeing each other more eye to eye.. or at least it seemed to me...

we may differ in our experiences, but it also makes for a far better understanding don't you think?

[barleygirl]

Now that you mention it, yes, I do remember how many popular songs of dedicated love in your era turned to "love the one you're with" in my era! I definitely need someone to ground me in the ways of dedicated love . . .

[jacob erin-cilberto]

made me think of the Teddy Bears' song "i love how you love me"
the song makes me sway back and forth as i listen...and imagine....

nicely done.

[redzone]

thanks for the visit and words on this poem Jacob, I love your reviews and thoughts... you know isn't the song by the Teddy Bears ""To Know Him Is To Love Him" (1958), which is a wonderful song as well... I remember dancing to this song when some of my friends would watch bandstand after school... aaahhh those were the days... lol
