Poem 15

lucy-rose

You have held me

Every fear, every concern you have acknowledged.

You have given me a solace.

You have let me reveal my soul,

You have absorbed my grief, my pain,

You have held me within your grasp,

Your strength fostering my inner peace.

 

I feel safe with you,

In your arms there are no fears,

You keep my monsters at bay

You have crushed them.

You have shown me a love

You have taken me as I am.

 

Men have used me,

Abused me,

Hurt and injured me,

But you take all I give

And return so much more.

 

I bask in the love we share,

Your body so arouses me,

Your mind so stimulates me,

You touch me with such affection,

I want to hold you,

Caress you,

Float into your world.

 

Thank you, for being you,

I am so loved.

Never loved as you love me.

I want you in my life,

Your body entwined with mine.

 

Your sexuality leaves me breathless.

    It is amazing how well you understand the female heart. This is tender, sweet, and loving. Beautiful. Excellent poem. 🙂

  3. I love the idea here, you definitely get into the female psyche don’t you Mr. Summers 🙂 and the bridge between the last stanza and your last line… could be said with a sigh..well done.

    Many of us long for the emotional closeness more than the physical. You’ve captured that point of view very well.

    • Thank you I appreciate your comments, I found it easy to express the female perspective as poetry rather than prose, worked better for me.

        I am afraid I had written you as ‘her’ in my description of your haibun. Sorry. Changed it after Anja’s clarification:)

      • That’s ok, one of the reason’s I have ‘come out’ so to speak. Enough of the hiding, this is me. There were times when i cringed when bloggers thought of me as a female, but I have expressed a lot of stuff from a female perspective, especially the series poems 14 and 15 have come from. There’s one more to post over the weekend.
