The Passionate Promise….

Like their leaves swaying in the breeze,
So did she dance, like the trees.

An angelic figure on this land,
Carved by none, but God’s own hand.

Her hair let-down wet and wild,
She pranced in the woods like a child.

As I approached, she turned and turned red,
Her hair hiding her face as she lowered her head.

I reached out and tucked them behind her ear,
She started to tremble in that expectant fear.

A hand through her hair, a hand on her hips,
Planting a kiss on her quivering wet lips.

As my hands snaked around her curvy waist,
Time it seemed forgot all haste.

There will be other times for pain and sorrow,
But these moments we knew, may not be tomorrow.

Roses bloomed in wild-bushes therein…
As two souls succumbed to the most beautiful sin.

Tossing and turning in an embrace,
The wildness having a heavenly grace.

Drinking rain drops off my love,
I would have refused the nector of Jove.

Wandering hands holding on tight,
Becoming one under a starry night.

None could render the passion tame,
Nor could quench the burning flame.

Bodies dissolving in that divine fire
Spirits ecstatic, high on desire.

On the grass we whispered and moaned,
Right from dusk, till the new day dawned.

And then it was time, time to part,
As though from one body, two souls depart.

With a hug and one last kiss,
She walked away, with another passionate promise…….

Well written…
Love-making in a poetical form and so well expressed.
There’s not even a trace of eroticism but is covered with passion and emotion…Cheers mate!!

Yes, a little different from your usual, even the two line stanza is something new….its beautiful, and everyone can relate to it…the pace was sluggish, but that only enhanced the poem :)

“On the grass we whispered and moaned,
Right from dusk, till the new day dawned”
