Awaken Me; Awake In Me.
By Echoes of Orpheus
Like just another
hibernating heart on this
Earth,
I've laid in wait
and paid in
decorative dreams;
for they served as little other purpose
as they did a portion of
the truth
in my penurious-prone reality.
But you,
like some ecstatic form
of ecstasy,
when taken
coalesce within me;
fuse and conflate.
You show my heart bonds
bold as rapture.
Our mouths merge as though
your lips
were
mounting my own;
meanwhile calming and taming
the wild
steeds they become
every time they see
the wide open planes
of your skin.
There is a torque
to your touch
which
spins my soul around
your axis.
It grips and awakens
the
wonder within me
and all I seek is to wander
the space within
your eyes;
catch a wind in
those blue
solar sails, and forever
flee
from land.
Break the dams you've built,
allow
yourself to flood and flow,
for the first time,
through my veins;
I will womb your expression.
I would not dare restrain
your
release.
Love me as I love you,
love me
with all that you are.

Amazing... the third stanza is probably the most poetic take on a kiss I've ever read. You knit word fibers together like a true raconteur.

Your step by step metaphors could have made a beautiful sonnet proud, but alas you'll always be free from that form. I really enjoyed it, and when I say that it flowed, it's not just because I'm looking for a positive word to use, it's because it actually had linked metaphors and similes within the same stanzas and did not deviate until the next. So yes, you did exceptionally well, and I mean that with all due literary enthusiasm.

Either it's been awhile or I just don't pay attention. Thinks it has just been awhile. You're back (to form). Enjoy 10 minute stays and poems quickly buried! I know I do.
