Rarely, Free of You...

Contemporary Free Verse … to that special someone in each of our lives.

.

Rarely, Free of You...

Rarely....

a day's hours pass

free of You.

 

Rarely....

in quiet moments

daydreams captivated

by your enchanting charms

fail to wrap my

every vibrant sense

in gentlest succulent desire …

of You.

 

Rarely....

a sunlit daisy

dancing in the breeze

a bold red hibiscus

its heavily pollened pistol

fails in its wondrously

reflected golden smile …

of You.

 

Rarely....

day's easing end

slips me bare into bed

'twixt smooth inviting sheets,

that living vivid imagery of

lushly soft velvet warmth

is not beside me …

of You.

 

Rarely....

a day's hours pass

one of your passionately

arousing poems

escapes my

yearning willing lips

evermore lonely breath …

always alive with a

   deepening hunger

of You.

Rarely....

does a night's dream

with you and I in it

sharing, smiling, kissing,

crying, sighing, wantonly

craving satiation's

glorious climax

making-love

do I fail to realize

I'll never; nor,

will ever want to be …

free of You.

[Betty Hermelee]

This is sensuality at its finest...every word is your adoration of this beautiful woman....compared to almost every other thing in life.....the comparison of nature, your daydreams of her; your notions....this is beautifully written, soft, but sexy at the same time. I enjoyed reading it.
Warmly, B

This poem is an enchanting journey through the depths of love and desire. The words beautifully convey the poet's deep connection to their beloved, painting a vivid picture of passion and yearning. The imagery used is exquisite, as every scene and moment becomes a canvas for their love. Seems yours heart is laid bare, with each line filled with genuine emotion and a longing that resonates. The use of simple words brings a sense of intimacy and accessibility to the piece, making it relatable to anyone who has experienced the power of love. The delightful celebration of affection, capturing the essence of being completely consumed by someone's presence. It's a touching and heartwarming tribute to the magic of love that leaves me , with a smile on my face and a warm feeling in my heart.

Thanks for the beautiful art. Need to be in memory, for eternity.

I am ever-so grateful for the wondrously gracious passion and beauty dancing out with such fervor from the essence of your equally creative words ~ splashed across the canvas of a skifully caressed bard's imagination.
What more could be asked of their poetry than the graciously expressed appreciation and depthful understanding voice in your lithe hand's resplendent freedom of sensations.

Ever-so gratefully yours! ⁓ Richard🖌

[Soyam]

I'm glad to know, my words touched you that much...
But it's just you and your wonderful words, that needs the whole appreciation and more.🤗
It's already in my heart, your words again retouched it. ....

This is an erotic poem filled with the spices of words and images. It looks like a writer has captured your attention and has held it. That's always good inspiration, isn't it.

Great writing, Richard.
