When I awoke

When I awoke

 

When I awoke, I felt your lingering kiss on my lips.

I felt my heart still racing.

 

But the warmth inside had died.

I can still feel your eyes watching me inside.

 

It was all a dream.

I wanted you.

 

It was not your body I needed,

Not the touch of your finger,

Not the sigh on your breath,

Not the way you held me tight.

 

It was your passion for me.

Not sexual you see.

 

I know it makes no sense.

A man not wanting sex.

 

But its true you see.

All I wanted was the real you.

 

Maybe that’s too much to ask.

To want your mind before I wanted your body.

 

For me it is more than anyone can see.

I need love in my heart before I ever wanted your body.

I like how you draw lines between true love and the sexual ones.I think like you women are more than just sexual objects for love can hold them on the pedestal of the heart...:)

I think that this just shows that you are true man and that your desires are greater than a sexual drive. If only most men could be this way.

[ron]

Thank you. I'm just lazy...sex takes to much work lol.

[FlatLineBeauty]

xD lol no!

[ron]

OK so maybe I'm not like most its not sex I want...it's to make...well make it last all night. So that's why it takes to much energy.

Ron more men should feel this connection between love and sex I think.

I think if more men did it would help those of us men who have to fight passed the steroetype they have caused us.

[Plume de flamme]

I think more of us are like this on either side of the gender divide. Thank you for penning such a great pen to illustrate this for us all.

[ron]

Thank you.

Lust for Love. This show more of the desire to love, to care and not desire for gratification.

[ron]

It is how I am. I cannot make love to another woman unless I am first in love with her.

[Selene]

You are a gentleman.

[ron]

Thank you. No I'm not a gentleman, I'm just some one who found that sometimes we need to look at who a person is before we can know how to love them. But thank you.

[SyberRose]
