Proximity

by Rafika Anderson

Surrounded by bright emerald leaves of ancient trees
and a driving, cold spring rain
my body aches to link with yours again
to sense your wounded soul undress
peel away layers of tension and stress

when you hold me
even scold me
I cannot resist you
I just have to kiss you
and dissolve into those thermal pools
of honesty
you know as eyes

each mellifluous word
drips from your lips--sweet nectar to my ears
enticing the glow of fading embers of memory
to blaze inside my mind
nudging open my tender heart--eradicating my fears
unlocking the fragile joy sheltered securely at my core

insatiable
I crave you like dark Godiva chocolate

ravenous to converge
impatient to flow the healing magic of my fingertips
over your being once more
to feel the tingling friction of my palms
braced against your fragrant, glistening skin
raising the intoxicating passion amassing beneath
savor the hearty flavor of your essence
sup with delight on the pleasure of your presence
release myself deep within the comfort of your radiance
freeing your inner spirit to meld with mine

your nearness, divine
tortures me each day
this way

I miss you everso

wow, that's quite a piece you've written -- seductive and loving -- and I'm with you on that Godiva :)

Really interesting word play and language. Quite eye-catching and engaging.

I love that 5th stanza (well, and godiva chocolate). Thank you.

Creo poder entender el idioma inglés lo suficiente como para tener el privilegio de poder sentir y compartir tus palabras. Ese deseo de tener más de la persona amada, más aun que su carne viva y no tenerle en el momento, sólo el recuerdo agudo de la cercanía, de la proximidad y despues... la pasión. Bendiciones para este nuevo año Rafika.
