Shadows on my skin

[phoenixowen]

Lain 'neath the blankets
My skin still feels so cold.
I await your limber touch.
Removed from my memory
Are the lonley times of old,
God I love you so much.
Blindman;
Your fingertips find shadows on my skin,
As darkness falls
And your windows open.
Adjusting to the light you make out the etching lines of me.
Remaining silent
Lips move to meet,
I feel your breath run through my veins
& its warmth begins my melting.
Leaning naked with heads abreast
We become blind once more to sleep,
& your face is burnt on my eyelids,
My treasure forever to keep.
Two a.m. I wake, still holding you.
I watch as the silver light
Plays upon your skin.
I have more comfort than a chilhood memory
When your arms I am within.
Three heartbeats to every breath,
This is how you sleep.
So precious. My darling.
My love for you so deep.
-For Smil-E-

That was really fucking good. Really smoothe and real. Very touching. Love makes children of us all.

thank you for writing my absolute favorite poem today.

& your face is burnt on my eyelids,
this was *beautiful* and i'm so happy that you have someone like this.
isn't it unreal, and breathtaking... the day you can just stop in your tracks and say,
damn, i'm so in love.
and you just smile.
and its the best feeling in the world?
*gets chills*

My god this was absolutely beautiful!!

& your face is burnt on my eyelids
My treasure forever to keep
It IS yours to keep forever....and i find that thought to be one of the most amazing concepts of human existence. Nothing can take those moments away from us...ever.
These intense moments are so often felt in the darkness, when the other person is completely oblivious....I'm so with E-girl! This poem gave me chills!
