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"

OH! "Lips like Peaches pressed against mine."

Awesome!

Sensual indeed. Footsteps can be pretty loud, even barefoot, when they are anticipated enough. ~Jim

[Thomas W Case]

Thank you.

I might be projecting, but I get sort of a withheld-confession-of-a-secret-love vibe with which I deeply resonate. Maybe one day, we'll taste the peaches. Till then, we'll relish in the fantasy.

[Thomas W Case]

Thank you so much.

[Glenda]

Very nice!
I did like the sensuality of the piece, the longing for requite.
The fire on your tongue and expecting, hoping, thirsting for it to be quenched.
Beautiful!

Thank you, Glenda. I appreciate it.

It's fairly straightforward with meanings, and clear what the writer probably has in mind. In my experience, it's better than when writers make such obscure references; which only they could possibly know (relating to something unique thus making it undecipherable to readers). This piece makes true sense, and starts with an expression over lust for a woman. It also, comments upon some attractive female physical features. The references to burnt orange, lavender and peaches; also add a feminine touch. And, logically concludes; at the point when a guy's lips feel close against those of his adored woman. Clearly, the man is almost literally "thirsting" with passionate desire for her. Thanks for sharing.

[Ern M. Yoshimoto]

the title was amazing. it is such an honest and original way to express love. the poem brings drama to this quote . a scene that is very private, yet universal.

[Thomas W Case]
