Starburst

by SL Ruth

Your words of longing
Your voice husky and low
Your breath laying whispers
Tenderly against my ear
Lets me hear your desire
Experience your fantasy.
My mind spins,
I flush with the warmth
Of a thousand stars,
Like embers smoldering,
Gathered to explode,
Burning me with the fire
Of your passion.
I sense your presence;
As your voice caresses me
I long for your touch,
For you to burst upon me
As your words have.

In this day of technology there's lots of telephone & text messaging going on. The above poem came to me in a flash several years ago. I haven't changed a word. The poem still refreshes the impression of that single moment when I experienced the emotion. Let me know how it touches you.
