I Thirst for your Footsteps

Here's a link to my you tube channel where I read my poetry. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cvXsP7xqEh4

I long for the majestic
sunset of your hair,
windblown, dancing across my cheek…
The burnt orange and lavender…
I want to consume every drop.
I’m thirsty for your
footsteps near my bed, parched with
desire for your presence, your essence.
How long until you wet my
tongue, and quench this fire?
I stalk slumber like a shadow…
my only release from the
hunger and yearning for your
moist lips, like peaches
pressed against mine.

Sensual, oozes with sugar romance, takes the reader on a colorful ride. Poem flows smooth from start to end with every line piquing the interest more and more. Poetry in motion here. these lines stood out for me, "I stalk slumber like a shadow…
my only release from the
hunger and yearning for your
moist lips"

' I long for, moist lips pressed against mine. '
That thought alone creates a breathtaking mood.

This is beautiful and sensual, all at the same time.
There's a desire to be so close, for sure.

Your thoughts leave me in complete awe. : )

Hello Thomas, I am 73, have outlived the two best women of my life. Though the body may grow old, it seems the heart does not. Your poem made so many memories surface, resurrected desires, what more could be said about excellent writing? Thank you (I think). Michael Sun Bear
