Gently
by Teri T LahmonBe
ever so soft
in stroking this battered
heart of mine
Allow
so very lightly
your mouth to
dance its steps of seduction
across my tired brow and lonely lips.
Do not
love me too fiercely
But quietly and slowly
Fold me into your loveliness
Whisper your tendresses to my insecurities
Remind me
There are angels in this world
As well as Demons. 07/20/2003 Posted on 07/20/2003

| Posted by Richard Paez on 09/07/03 at 04:41 PM nice. i admire the different shades of sensuality you present in different poems. this poem, like the speaker, is phrased and presented in a way that makes it seem like the slightest insensitive touch would make it crumble. i also like how the speaker could be either a man or a woman. thank you for sharing {m} |
