In these quiet places⁓
Come, let me pull you gently into our quietness,
where wonder has etched the loveliness of
your softly alluring “take me” eyes
permanently into my hopeful,
azure blues,
where the dawns rise silently ~ gently
to mist our early skies with gold
before surrendering…
on unto the day.
Let us entwine our ever-willing, hungry fingers
in quiet, reverent solitude…
to stroll through boundless amber fields,
where wild stalks of wheat in training
learn to weather life’s gloriously
gentled breath of creation,
waving as one together
at all awe-struck
passersby.
Let me know you in your quiet stillness,
as I have known you like soft waves
fondling the excited shore, while
You are siren, I am sailor…
where the all of us is
~ Eternity.
Let me love you in your calm moments,
that I may know it is me your loins
open in aching hunger for, and
it is for me your eyes close
when your sighs breathe
and flow softly down
o’er me from your
lusty throat.
Then, in the solitude of this time, Our time…
embraced in these hushed surroundings,
let our souls meld into matrimony,
with no clergy or witnesses,
….and….
in these quiet places, let me be
the sole reason your arms,
your moist lips, and
your world
exists.

This deserves a place on my list….
Smooth and comfortable (among other things). You just joined my daily fix list.
Ahhh, Lady Adira 🌾
How warmly your gracious platitudes so deeply enthrall a hopeful bard, and what a gratifying honor to be placed on your “daily fix list”.
Thank you sincerely for your lovely morning touch! ⁓ Rascal🖌
First, the way you displayed the piece is beautiful. Every stanza starts off with asking to be allowed to bring her closer to you.
This is just perfect
A good Wednesday morning to ya, Fia 🌼
It is sooo nice to begin the day with such inspiring words from a knowing poetess’ radiantly heart-gifted pen.
To receive commentary so warmly laid (as Yours) upon one of my earnest poetic efforts means more than mere thanks … you make me wish I had an endless supply of stardust to sprinkle over every grim moment of all your days and nights.
And, you seem to possess a gift of grasping the true essence of my poetry; rare few do … and, it makes me feel special.
Then, I am truly humbled you think this piece is “perfect” … thank you, Fia ⁓ Rascal🖌
Wooo-wee! A hot and steamy piece, Richard. Have you written any romance books or stories for women’s magazines? You would fit right in, though I truly know little about their content; I must use my imagination.
I love the way you constructed this piece and then built the narrative in a way that fit within, words dropping into place cozily. You have quite a gift for the steamy side, and all of it fits neatly in the structures you built, like tiny tornados funneling your words and meaning down to rest in the final point. Excellent.

Thank you, Syr 🍷
Not only one, but the TWO praise-filled reviews you’ve left for this romantically succulent Free Verse piece more than gratify my humble efforts to write for, share, and please my fellow ‘n lady poets … and, that you “love” anything about it farrr exceeds what could be expected, but I’m keeping every word. 😃
Bless you the smile you’ve made of my day! ⁓ Richard🖌
I have no idea why my response was doubled, Richard. Sorry for the wasted space.
