lovers napowrimo #5

the smell of you upon my skin

pheromones

whirling through my senses

of infinity



round and round

scents of you, pleasurable

hold me fixed, caress my skin

infinity



you touch my hair

kiss my lips

gaze into my eyes

infinity exists



trace my finger on your skin

the shape of the neverending

with no beginning, no end

sign of infinity



what happens next?

wait for a sign

till the morning comes

infinity finally leaves me

  22. I am always impressed when someone can manage to write a love poem without descending into the serious cringe and heave department.Good one Pam.

  23. Rall,
    I too hate the cringe and heave department. Who wants to spend their time wading through sap. Thanks so much for your kind words.
