The Honey in the Undoing

 I hold the space where silence bends

Where want begins but never ends

One breath away from giving in

And knowing where we’ve always been

He speaks in honey over fire

A sweetness edged with quiet desire

Each word a spark I cannot outrun

A slow undoing just begun

I feel it settle on my skin

Not quite a touch, but drawing in

A warmth that lingers, low and deep

The kind that never asks, but keeps

I linger where the moment sways

Balanced on the blade it plays

One breath more and then we begin

Your hunger calling mine within

Waiting comes in quiet ways

A slow unfolding of the gaze

The air between us, thin and bright

A promise building in the night

Dagnabbit! I thought id posted a review on this last week. Must be another glitch to add to the numerous known ones. Pfft!
I remember writing how much i loved the first line, which speaks to me more than the sum of its parts should and then you follow it up with another peach of a line "where want begins but never ends."
Beautifully captured and flows so well.

Pretty and well-rhymed. I really love the line "He speaks in honey over fire." ~Jim

[John the Baptist]

A skillfully done erotic piece here, one free of vulgarity. The sexual energy builds throughout, leaving us wanting more at the end. Meter and rhyme are both excellent.

This has all the earmarks of romance. Stunning poem for sure and perfectly written. :)

I like the way you mix honey with emotions and sensuality here CG.....

This reads like a longing for someone

These were my favourite lines....:

I linger where the moment sways
Balanced on the blade it plays
One breath more and then we begin
Your hunger calling mine within

Thanks for sharing this sensual write my WC friend....:)
