Lost In The Nearness of You

Rate: 33 Flag

I breathe you in until I can no more
And savor ev’ry moment that you’re near
Breathless. Winded. Your closeness I adore
For in your sweet embrace I have no fear
I drink you in until I am replete
You fill and overflow my wanting heart
Two souls rejoice and hearts together beat
A bond beyond compare; never to part
And as we slowly dance this dance of love
And all others are but a silhouette
You draw me close; as one; like hand and glove
Then speak to me the words I’ll not forget

And in my heart they’re locked; and there they’ll stay
Forever more – until my dying day

I loved this Kate.
"You draw me close; as one; like hand and glove"
Beautiful poetry.
Linda: This one definitely resonates in my heart. : )

sophieh: Thank you!

Patrick: Your words echo loudly for me Patrick and I thank you for that, my friend.
You really know about Love. Love...ly.
This one sings loud and clear Kate. I am happy for you to have this love. You sing about it well here dear.
Fred: Thank you kind sir!

Robin: There is nothing more beautiful than true love. : )

Poor Woman: Your comment made me smile. I loved that you quote your favourite line. : )
It feels so good, feeling this way.
trilogy: And you quote a line too! Thank you! I am smiling.

mLee: It's so good to see you hear again my friend. I always keep hoping you'll stay around longer and write some more beautiful poetry. But to have you drop by always makes me smile too.

fernsy: I'm not sure if I know about love but I know what true love feels like to me ... and when I feel that kind of true love ... it takes my breath away.
Darn it, Kate, I shoulda read this lovely poem before I read Trig's...er, open call response. Then again, maybe not!
This is so beautiful and it captures exactly the love between my wonderful husband and me. -R-
Another thought...I wish I had this poem for our wedding.
Mission: Love is fleeting sometimes but I think when you find what you believe to be true love, it will be with you forever ... held in your heart ... perhaps even locked away and from time to time the lock is opened and the memory can be enjoyed and the love felt all over again.

catch-22: It does ... it sure does!

anna: Thank you my sweet friend.
Rita: Thank you! I am glad you liked it.

Matt: LOL! I had to go see what you were talking about! And before or after? Well ... geez ... I don't know either!
Christine: Oh my! It would have been an amazing honour. You have touched my heart ... thank you.

heidibeth: Thank you! Smiling ....
Very sweet and romantic. rated
Caroline: That's me! An incurable romantic! Sorry! : )
Absolutely most excellent prose -- hope you are not in Queensland
Truer words of love could never be spoken any better. What a beautiful heart you have!
Exquisitely rendered. Heartfelt and evocative....two thumbs way up.
Kate this is wonderful. Lines like "You fill and overflow my wanting heart" are beautiful just because - but add to that, well you know what a sucker I am for iambic pentameter.

Nice work. Really, really nice work.

And - hey! This poem seems a little... happier? than usual. Hmm...
You have become such an AMAZING poet...a sonnet this time...and a tug at the emotional heartstrings too!

And if this feeling is real for you now, then so much the better!!!

rrrrrrrrrr -
Ilya: It is so nice to meet you! A new friend here is always welcome. And thank you. I am glad you liked it.

Marty's Husband: Thank you. I live just under the Queensland border .... not very far at all. I have a daughter and son living in Queensland but apart from the recent rain they are not much affected by the floods either.
Gwool: Thank you!

Cognitive Dissonance: Another new friend and I am glad to meet you too! I really appreciate your words here ... yes, it is indeed heartfelt.
Divorce Bard: And you're quoting lines back to me too!!! Oh my! Thank you! Yes, my friend, I do know what a sucker you are for iambic pentameter ... I love it too ... but, gee, I wish I could get it down pat! That you like this and that you say it is 'really nice work' ... brings a smile to my face. Thank you again! Happier? Yes, happiness and love is in my heart ... they're always there ... just some days more so than others.
JD: Amazing? NO. But I am trying to get there! One day ... I hope. But I am happy with this and I am glad you like it. The feeling, the love I feel in my heart is indeed very real.
This was so beautiful. It made me think of my husband right away. He is sitting next to me right now on his laptop and we are always close.
Grand, strong and wonderful. Thank you for sharing such fine art.
Rated.
Sheila: To know that you share that kind of love, you and your husband, warms my heart so much. Bless you both.

iq: Thank you for your beautiful comment. I really appreciate it.

Scylla: And you, my friend, are pretty grand, strong and wonderful! Well at least I picture you to be strong figure of a man so don't go and ruin it by telling me you're not!
Lovely, Kate. I like "lost."
Sounds like a safe place, a wonderful place, to be lost.
Kim: For me, yes, this is a safe and wonderful place. Thank you dear friend. I hope the packing is going as well as it possibly can but perhaps, really, these are useless words ... for I know how very difficult it is for you and your mum right now.
What a treat it is to come here and read such absolutely stunning work on the os. This poem is so beautiful, thank you for sharing your gift with us all.
graceinaz: Oh my, this is a lovely comment indeed. Thank you. And you're a new friend here too ... it's lovely to meet you.
A beautiful post and the opposite of mine, timing is funny. Glad to know you are safe (from floods, I hope) and here instead to write of greater things.
This is absolutely beautiful. I wonder if it is too late to ever experience it.
Truly touched words about the dance of love. Thank you!
Oryoki Bowl: It's just terrible to see the extent of the flood disaster in Queensland but I am definitely okay as far as the floods are concerned. Thank you for thinking of me though. And thank you too for such lovely words here. I really appreciate that you stop by to read and comment. : )

pastvoices: I'd like to think it is never too late ... that all things are possible ... that dreams can come true. I choose not to be pessimistic. Let's look on the bright side of life!

Sparking: And I appreciate your words, sweet friend. Thank you!
This poem is such a tribute to love. The sense of true heart connection comes through so beautifully.
rated with love
RomanticPoetess: I'm glad it does come through. Thank you for this.
