Housing my soul

This is getting ridiculous, my obsession for you
I am beyond any thing else, save you
I know I am being very predictable
Grand passion, heated body, exploded senses are nothing new
In a way, those are most over-rated.
You can see how everyone goes on and on about it.
Still, that is how I feel about it.
As they show in those movies
Write in those soppy novels
Can’t you feel electricity flowing through us?
Each electron going towards its goal with a single mindedness
My fingers slowly touching you, pushing all those buttons
Right touch, exact amount of pressure
Nothing is forced or contrived
Intensity seems to touch a new height each time
Newness never ceases to surprise me
Is it all from my side?
Without me you are reduced to nothing, incomplete, a block of wood
Even after so long an association, you are so detached
Do you realise, when I wish to forget myself, I come to you
How our desires merge, becoming one.
Housing my soul in yours, we together make music

  10. Wow, I really liked it. Made me salivate for every next line.

    I wrote a poem a long time ago like this, but it sounded like it was sexual and it was just me playing guitar. :-P

  25. This is truly beautiful, I love the way your mind works, and how it flows into words...

    listen, I know you might be busy, but there's an interesting meme at my space which has three pieces to it, if you have time, would you mind responding? I would love to hear what you think. Follow my name to get there. Thanks.
