Disasters, Delights and Other Detours - 77. The Yearning Hours

I cannot believe I haven't posted this poem before. Yet here it is, with all it oddity. Any errors are all mine.

 

I will come to you at morning,

your light playing on my frame;

your warmth undressing,

bright smile caressing,

and no color is the same

when I come to you at morning.

 

You will follow me at midday

to a soft, sweet gasped surprise;

my body burning,

full hearted yearning

for what you ask with your eyes

when you follow me at midday.

 

I will kiss you in the evening,

reawaken what is still;

yet re-inviting

our blest uniting

so that I might have my fill

when I kiss you in the evening.


Should you feel moved to comment or reflect on this poem, I would be very glad to see it.

These have the lilt of a folksong about them. Maybe it's the nearly repeated first lines. Whatever it is, they're lovely.

That lilt, that song-like feel is exactly what the mark at which I aimed. Thank you for saying that. And many thanks for reading!

Lovely, I can hear the song and the loving contentment in these words. 

If you can hear these things, then I am also content. I’m very glad you took time to read this. Thank you.

I agree with Northie.  It has a folk song rhythm and reminds me of old school English poems, kind of like Blake. I pictured the sun at the various points of the day.  I enjoyed this a lot.  :)
