bodies blend to become
this us promised in your hands
how they open to mine
how our eyes echo feeling
this us promised in your hands
painting skin all colors with one touch
how our eyes echo feeling
the way your voice calls my spirit
painting skin all colors with one touch
you scribe alphabets of desire
the way your voice calls my spirit
there is only yes in my breathing
you scribe alphabets of desire
how they open to mine
there is only yes in my breathing
bodies blend to become
***This is my offering today for Dverse.
Nicely done! Bodies follow minds!
π yes, they do–let the record show I VOLUNTARILY used a form for this one!
Thank you much, Noel!
Bodies blending … love welcoming π

Susan, this is one of the most intimate and touching verses I have read from you. Lovely.
Oh, George–thanks so much. Just popped into my head, almost completely formed, as a pantoum of all things. Very glad you liked.
I love this, perfectly elegant but passionate. One of your best!
David, thank you!
Oh my, is it me or is it getting got in here?

Wow, I’m constantly amazed by the extremely high quality of poetry on WordPress, and this one is no exception – blows me away!
there is only yes in my breathing…love this…love the intimacy and closeness here…of body and soul..
Claudia–thanks so much! Still cannot believe I did a pantoum on purpose, LOL.
The form enhances the pleasure :). Wonderfully done!
Anna, thank you!
Very nice. The repetition enhances the meaning…brings it home. Beautifully sensual poem. (Fan needed!)
aw, shucks…blushing now–please pass the fan this way.
Thanking you!
Surrendering to love and to this gorgeous piece
thanks, Audrey!
Painting skin all colours, beautiful.
Oh, thanks much…
This is a lovely, very effective pantoum, using repetition very adroitly, and some lovely lines as the framework. Enjoyed it very much.
Oh, thanks so much, Hedge.
Mmmmm, ‘you scribe alphabets of desire’, mmmmm
Yes–I count myself blessed to be so inspired by someone π
That being said–thanks & glad you liked!
Love this, Susan… especially the final stanza.
Laurie–thanks so much!
there is only yes in my breathing – what a gorgeous line! Beautiful, Susan. K
Kathleen–thank you!
You’ll learn I tend to blush easily! This is lovely, classy and intimate…fantastic form, wonderful to read out loud..this reader is happy! Awesome π
Tash–wow, thanks so much. I blush easily, too, and am doing so now!
What a lovely pantoum ~ sensual and romantic ~
Grace–thanks–means a lot, coming from you…
Wonderful pantoum – so subtly done – and beautifully framed. The repetition feels like a wonderful embrace – various limbs around the reader. k.
awww–thanks so much K!
Gracefully woven… you make a pantoum look easy.
oh my–thanks! This one was easy, because the musicality of the lines begged repetition. The ones I have set out to write as exercises have not been this easy π
oh my this is lovely. scribe alphabets of desire. so wonderful, Susan.
Jane–thank you so much!
I’m not one for form, but I know you did a great job with this one. Because so many people write love poems, I think it’s hard to be original. Yet, you are.
Myrna–thank you. I resist forms, and this is the first I have done not as a response to a prompt–just seemed to fit it π
Glad you liked.
Beautifully sensual
Celestine, thank you.
Gosh, I had forgotten almost….what it means to be in love and this brought it back to me..I need to learn this form..
Oh wow–love this comment! Thanks, Katy!
