Spellbound

Your eyes have me mesmerized,
For when you look so deeply
with your bedroom stare
You’ve bared my soul
and I’m fully aware
of what is happening

Your eyes are like fingers,
touching me, teasing me,
pleasing me

Then you kiss me like this
and I’m mystified by the spell
you have over me,
I’m lost in the stars,
My heart is where it should be,
for your viewing only

Take my hand,
follow me to another place
and let our love begin again

This is another sample from the 8 or less minute challenge on Scott’s new blog. It also would have been without a title had it not been for him choosing a great one! 🙂

Scott Mitchell's avatar8 Minutes or Less

Waves touch ever so gently
A subtle gesture
not to intimidate
but to lovingly bait
The shore lies still
only to anticipate
the cool stroke

Wind blows a bit stronger
waves take a little longer
the craving builds up
before rushing in
to kiss the shore
and lap up sweetness
from where
it pours

Scott’s rave: I read this tantalizing poem several times! Oceans, waves, and shores are all keywords to awaken my romantic imagination and this one from LScott is a perfect example! She allowed me to name it so I chose “Wake” for it’s dual meaning that fits in both senses here. The wave behind a moving object that spreads as it’s moving forward and the obvious event of a sensual moment evolving, or waking. Oh, how I want to lovingly bait my anticipating muse and show her all my love and desire I…

FINDING INNER STRENGTH (re-post)

persevere

It’s finally time to SHOUT
“Enough is Enough”
To dust off shields of armor
and flip the switch to “tough”

With every step in each new day
it’s too easy to fret and worry
Wasting a God given moment
instead of cheering in His glory

Toss those words and thoughts
that surely weigh us down
A lighter load will bring us smiles
and erase those dreadful frowns

So, arm in arm, let’s move forward
for strength in perseverance
Do not relent to downward slips
Ignore the interference!

I hope this brings you strength
in whatever you’re going through in life.

K-I-S-S

A simple “muah”
a basic “hello”
a quick “good-bye”
a delicious “high”

When lips connect
a new revelation
no longer simple
an invitation

A taste of paradise
now lost in a fog
no going back
completely off track

Just the beginning
of intoxication
oh, what a lovely,
sweet temptation

For who wants to be alone?
Reveling in life’s joy or weeping
In between those moments; I’ll be your
Everlasting support, a listening heart,
Never will I take you for granted, for you are a
Dear soul who I can grow with, without growing apart

Love’s Appeal – Re-post

I long to be your only star
within your sky of dreams
I ask you to open your heart
repair the broken seams
I apologize for words unsaid
for those said time and again
To hurt you was not my intention
I often wonder how you’ve been
I only wish to see you smile
hear you laugh among the trees
I only long to hold you close
feel your breath beside the breeze
Chances don’t come freely
I know this in my heart
My plea you’ll hear one more time
to keep us ne’er apart

so please forgive the re-post.
For those who have seen this before,
I hope you’re not too bored. )  🙂

This is such a beautiful beginning to the new blossoming season from Christine…

I love spring,
how she yawns and stretches,
quiet confidence;
instinct melded with a trust
that says it’s okay to go.
She was almost fooled
a couple of times this year,
but not enough to daunt
or throw off course.

And now look at those shoots;
delicate still, a little pale, but
granite firm and ready.
They have work to do,
an audience to captivate,
starring roles to support.
And as always, will succeed;
why would this year be any different?

I must be dreaming
as you captivate
all my senses
so relentlessly
the way you linger
over curves
taking me
over the edge
I give my love
as you deserve
There’s no denying
you’re more than real
the way you make me feel
forget the world
we’re in our own
with no escaping
until dawn

Scott’s rave: One of LScott’s beautiful poems she wrote in only 7 minutes and made my day by allowing it posted here! Oh, the passionate moments that feel like a dream with the one we love and our senses are “relentlessly” captivated! It’s a moment that two don’t even see an option to halt, as something else has taken over. Perhaps that’s why the title “Trance” fits perfectly here. I also call it “heartquake” and nothing compares to it. Please visit and follow LScott Poetry to enjoy more of her…
