To me, you are
warm rain
sweeping through
the barren desert
a fine mist seeping
into freshly turned
rich dark earth
fine chocolate
melting on my tongue
decadent and indulgent
the fire well stoked
hot in the early hours
of a bitterly cold morn
kisses brushed
softly across
the nape of my neck
tiny dust motes
basking golden in the sun
when before
they had passed unnoticed
like these moments,
I love you

Mims, nobody does it better:
kisses brushed
softly across
the nape of my neck…
lovely. lovely. lovely. (repeating for emphasis) 🙂

Oh these are wonderful metaphors…the gentleness of the love shines through the lines.
Jan 05, 2013 @ 01:25:37
Thank you! I’m glad that you feel that it does.

These metaphors are like similes, but different, in the way that something profound is different from this comment. But, having said all that, I liked this!
Jan 05, 2013 @ 01:25:13
Thank you – I was thinking that they all were metaphors, except for the last stanza. 🙂
Jan 05, 2013 @ 03:21:06
I don’t know what I’m saying.
Jan 05, 2013 @ 03:37:36
HAHA – well – I thought you were being a smart Alec…but I suppose since your name is Edward…that I was definitely wrong. 🙂 (and I was joking back with that…)
