Desire

by mshairi

unadulterated longing sparks
unspoken words heard and accepted in
smouldering glances glowing smiles two souls
in need
without guile nor deception
hands arms and hearts mutely
reach out to count eyelashes to sketch
definitions of love
from heads to toes
entangled pulsating minds and spirits
in harmony and ardour while bodies
float down down
down
until with a hushed sigh they touch the bare naked floor

I love your poetry! Perhaps all the more because I am in love myself and I feel my soul in your words…thank you for sharing. I hope to bring your work back to the ICP soon.

Much love to you for your love…

You have a lovely voice
Even on paper.

Isnt’t that the magic of poetry?
That it transcends gender,
Space and time.
A nice song
Will always ring a note
In a reader’s mind
Even as such a note
must differ
reader to reader.

Keep it up, my friend.
