The Nearness of You

Rate: 29 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

This is beautiful, Kate...I want to quote a favorite line but it would be the whole poem. Every word speaks to feelings I know so well.
These lovely lyrics carry me back to an earlier time, Kate. When being romantic seemed so natural and alive. And it was.
I like the tactile imagery here, the what it feels and tastes like. It's a singular thing, a thing of wonder and gratitude, to have the intimacy gap become seamless, to be taken by the kind of love you so well describe.
You're such a poet! :)
You're such a poet! :)
All I can tell you is that this old silhouette thoroughly enjoyed the peek in from the outside. Have I told you how much I love sonnets, Kate? I think I did.
This leaves me so full of gratitude. Thank you for sharing this. R
Do you know how lucky you are to have love that inspires such poetry?
Yeppers.
My son marries tomorrow...this fits....
Thanks Kate for the intimacy you created
Thanks Kate for the intimacy you created
Thanks Kate for the intimacy you created
Mmmmmm....geez.
Why is Husband at work right now??
Your beautiful poem is bringing out that desire for nearness : )
And I'm not even talking lust here (at the moment)-- I want to hold that beloved hand!
Very lovely, thanks for writing!
Lovely words of love, Kate.
Just because you can....r
Smithery: Ah, yes, I have absolutely no doubt that you know the feelings … the love … I have written of here. My love and best wishes always to you and Angela.

Matt: I’m glad to have given cause for such special memories, Matt.

Spike: Thank you!

Jerry: I don’t know how you do it but you have the ability to “get it”, to get to the heart of another’s written words, and then to describe so well what you see. Thank you, Jerry, I smile when I see a comment from you and then I can’t help myself, I eagerly devour your feedback.

Patricia: Thank you!

Brassawe: Ah, thank you too! I’m not sure that you have told me that you love sonnets, Brass, at least you have now! Me too! Very much so!

Michelle: Oh, wow. Thank you so much!

Sarah: YES!!!!! I sure do know how lucky I am! YES!!!!!

JD: : ) Yeppers. : )

Kasia: Hello Kasia. Welcome! And thank you!

Just Thinking: “I want to hold that beloved hand!” Oh, you have me smiling so much right now. Love is beautiful!

Hugs, me: Yes, just because I can … and I wanted to. : )
You bring tears of happiness to my eyes Kate.
Glad you have this in your life.
And these lovely words are timeless and priceless.
TY!!
Mission: And what lovely words you write too! Thank you, Mission! Thank you so much!
Why, talk to me! In love or not, Kate, this is so romantic. R
very powerful and immediate
Thoth: It is romantic, isn't it? Yep! That's me! A hopeless romantic!!! : )
DH Austin: Hello and welcome! I like to hear what people get from poetry so thank you for your comment. I think 'immediate' is very apt ... this poem does directly relate to a moment between two people.
I'm seeing so much of my own sweet love in the poems that I'm reading tonight. First Songbird's, now yours. This is exquisite, Kate.
Angelkisses, you are indeed very, very blessed to have such love. Sincere best wishes!
I just LOVE this!! :)

Mmmmmmm.. sigh.
Sweet, Kate, Sweeeet!
Thanks for a little piece of that big heart of yours.
Songbird: And thank you so very much for that lovely comment! Wow. Yes, thank YOU!
Many people could be in love with you for this...Cheers
jramelle: Perhaps there is a glass slipper, one that is just the perfect size for you, in your not too distant future, friend. Love is the stuff of magic and fairytales come true.

Algis, you make me smile! Thank you. : )
Kate, this is gorgeous music.

I mean it--honnet.
Oh, my Kate...I need to take a breath.
"And in my heart they’re locked; and there they’ll stay
Forever more – until my dying day"
I have words locked there as well...until my dying day.
Leon: Thank you. And thank you for the smile your clever wit and humour bring.
Sassy, It's very special isn't it? That moment when someone whispers in your ear ... just to you ... and you catch your breath and your heart stops beating ...that moment when you hear those words ... you just know that you will never forget how you felt right then and those words ... oh, yes, I'll never, ever forget anything about that moment and those words he spoke to me.
