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"
Thanks for sharing, Thomas. Enjoyed the write!

"like peaches pressed against mine"

[BuzzyB]

This poem is passionate in very vivid hues. The colours stayed with me after I read the poem. Your words work their magic on the reader, as always Thomas!

[Thomas W Case]

Thank you so much.

[BuzzyB]

You are welcome. :)

[Rosie E C…]

This is a sensual piece.

Very strong imagery throughout. Comforting choice of words.

I like how you have poured your consciousness and imagination into this. It’s very similar to my own.

Creative and relaxing read.

[Thomas W Case]

THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

Thomas, I read your poem above and like it very much; such a soft touch you have, stalking slumber. I was curious to see your new book, but the link above went nowhere. Can you check to see if there is a problem? I tried disabling some of my malware protection in case it was being too ambitious, but that didn't help.

Damn, Thomas, I had no idea. Because I never looked deeply enough. I read as much of the 'free sample" I could get until it ran out. So damned good, all of it. I would get the Kindle version, but I don't have a Kindle. Down the road a bit. I'm sure everybody says that, but it's on the wrong side of Xmas and now I've got bills to pay. But Aluminum Cowboy is high on my list of things I must have soon. Just brilliant s**t, my friend, really.

[Thomas W Case]

Thank you, my friend. I appreciate it.

[FlatDaddy]

And I finally did get "Cowboy" and it was all I hoped it would be. I sent a lot of marvelous words about it to Amazon, wrapped in some good phrases surely worth quoting to potential readers.

[Thomas W Case]

Thank you so much my friend.

[ETERNITY]

Oh, is this about Mary? I noticed It's Just a Hop Skip and a Jump to the Madhose is dedicated to Mary.

[Thomas W Case]

I can't remember who I was thinking about lol

[Thomas W Case]

now that I think about it, it's not about her.....I wrote it before I met her.

[ETERNITY]

Thomas, I'm like that, too, lol. The fire that courses through the veins at the time of the write doesn't always have a good memory. (wink)

[Thomas W Case]

Exactly. So very true.

Yearning as it has seldom been better said.
