While you sleep
Puvern Apr 2020
We lie in the same bed
Side by side
Sharing the dark
And comfort
I offer you safety
Over my outstreched arm
Our feet touch slightly
In a secret embrace like
First time lovers.
I can hear you breathing
The covers rise and fall
Cascading with every
Breath you take.
And i wish it were me
You were taking in
Piece by piece
Slowly so I can savour
Becoming one with you.
At 4 am there is nothing
But you beside me
My finger runs down the outline
Of your  body
As you dream
Frolicking in the waters
you so like
You walk gracefully
on the wet sand
Leaving  your footprints
Like the kisses I plant on
Your lips every morning
Trailing into nothingness
When the waves catch them
Crashing
when we awake
and I wonder,
If you were with me
all along.

Thinking of You
Puvern Apr 2020
Youn are the gentle wind of spring
Whispering softly in my ear
Saying words that flow with beauty
From you always hear.
When fluffy grey recedes
The regal Sun prevails
I feel the stinging warmth
Your touches once induced
My uninspired rose
The fatuous bees ignored
Among taller stalks
with luscious buds
That maggots, rot to the core.
You are the rain that pelts down tenderly
On the barrenness of my life
This my elixir sustained by
Clouds of thoughts so rife.

For Sar

I like it when you wear
your hair long
Hanging over
your pretty face
And shading your eyes.
Those eyes!
Wear it like that
So I won't drown
In those
Intergalactic oceans
That beckon
Fuelling
my incessant desire
That will never be
As you force me
To wander
Aimlessly
In your beautiful shadow.

For Anon
Puvern Apr 2020
Have you felt my eyes?
Probing the curves
of your sensual body
Admiring your perfection
and the jet blackness
of your hair?
have you felt them caress you
enveloping you
in a cadence of warmth
that rocks you
in undulating rythm
Do you feel them singe you
as they part your hair
to plant tender kisses
on your forehead
Have you seen the pair
that enjoy you
from your head to you toe
whilst the rest of me
writhes in jealous agony
What of my hands?
that long for your touch
the fingers that want to dance
on the softess of your skin
and disappear inside
torrents of your hair
tangled in the locks
never wanting to return.
what of my arms
that want to pull you closer
lasso you from across the room
as you sit unaware of this intruder.
Pull you close and have you
nestled in my embrace
still ensconced on your chair
like a queen
what of my lips
that long to meet yours
and probe in between
down uncharted depths
and the warmth of your mouth
as we both share our breath
without any care
you don't see me there
i am always here
if you close your eyes
and care to look
from deep inside you
just reach inside me
past the jagged shards
of my wearied heart
and have a look
theres no disguise
It is my eyes.
