I long to be fulfilled in every way
hot breath, soft lips
a mouth hungry for mine
and when we kiss our souls meet
know me, love me
reach deep inside
bring me to the peak of bliss
let me slide back down
cradled in arms
smooth and strong,
my heart safe and sound ~

Author's Notes:
I'll never forget my 10th grade English teacher taking off points for using a cliche in a poem. She said it was otherwise wonderful but the cliche ruined it. I thought it was wonderful even with the cliche. It's great to have your own voice and your own way of describing things, but sometimes the common phrase just fits better. I tried to find something to replace "safe and sound" at the end of this poem but I can't bring myself to delete those words, I like them too much in that anchoring spot at the end. So forget what the poetry critics have to say, you can't go wrong if you are honest and write what feels good!
