Yours

You lips so close, so promising awe-inspiring inviting enticing If only... I sigh I die to everything else but this wondering... ah....wondering... what it would be like to touch to taste to...kiss But...why the silence? When did the last word fade? Have you noticed my gaze? Have I given myself away? My heartbeat, a frenzied pace as my eyes travel up your face What a disgrace If I see indifference Apathy... that would be the end... the end of me my demise I search your eyes only to see hungry desire unguarded need looking down at me You move in closer hand cupping my cheek as your thumb runs over my lips a wordless plea asking me to let desire break free Unsure, you lower your hand mine stops its decent holding it up to my face Lightly, I close my lips over your finger My first kiss Here's yours answer my willing surrender In one swift motion You pull me close as your lips close over mine I'm lost in the sublime Sweeter that any fantasy this here and now reality We're meant to be One Body to body soul to soul possession the goal What you do makes me whole As you come up for breath your lips brush against my cheek I feel faint...I feel weak, but you hold me fast as you whisper in my ear "I'm going to make you mine. All....mine." I press in closer yielding.. molding myself to you "But darling," I pant I am... already... yours." Eileen Manassian Inspired by the kdrama Lovestruck in the City Starting Ji Chang Wook

An enticing invitation that stokes desire...and then surrender! A sensually passionate, romantic situation which reoccurs each time a couple such as this one falls victim to mutual chemistry. ~ Warm regards // paul

Dear Eileen, What a beautifully charged poem about the anticipation and surrender of desire. I loved how the poem's structure with short, evocative lines perfectly captures the racing thoughts and heightened emotions. I love how the poem builds tension through "awe-inspiring" and "wondering," then switches to the vulnerability of "silence" and the fear of "indifference." The ending is a powerful declaration, perfectly capturing the complete surrender. - Blessings, Daniel

Thank you for your thoughtful comment. Much appreciated. I'm depicting a scene that I saw. It was so full of realisation and passion. I miss writing on these themes. All any of us ever want is a all cinnamon love. Blessings to you.

You're into k dramas? My wife is Korean so yeah, we're into them. Sorta. Just finished Queen of Tears. Have you seen it? Quite emotional. As always, your romantic poetry is intense and palpable.

Will check it out. I'm hard core vegan, so I do hope there are lots of vegan options. I have Korean friends and have picked up some of the language.

Definitely love kdramas. I'll watch that to anything English anytime. The build up to confession is so satisfying. Love is more honoured, I feel, and family ties are stronger. Loved Queen of Tears. Kim Soo Hyun is the highest paid Korean actor and my second favourite. Ji Chang Wook is my favourite. I loved him in Healer. Didn't know your wife is Korean. Aren't you fortunate. :) Korea is on my bucket list. Hope I get to see it one day.
