Midnight Lover

by Jerry Bolton   Feb 5, 2015


You float above me
midnight lover
a wisp of lovely fragrance
envelop me with sensuous ecstasy
you take your time
gliding ever so close
drifting in, moving away

I see you
now I don't
misty lover come to me

oh, that is good
I see you now
but you fade away
teasing me so
giving me nothing, giving me all
wanting you so
touch and hold

fiery passion
mystifying wants
unbridled desires

I rise up toward the shadows
arms reaching, stretching
to stroke your divine
body, press my lips
against your fragile throat
oh, you're not there
gone away, gone away, gone away

midnight lover
you tease me
breathlessly

    Absolutely loved the vivid fantasy of this and the images it created in my mind, very wonderfully done!

    This almost read like song lyrics to me, and I mean that in a good way, as this write seemed soulful. I also noticed your structure in this. The 7-lined stanzas then the shorter 3-lined stanzas, back and forth, so that was neat and gave it direction.

    There were certain lines that seemed so simple yet really provoked thought. The idea of how a person can come into our lives, be present yet give you themselves only a bit at a time: "drifting in, moving away" and "giving me nothing, giving me all"

    I did have a question why this wasn't placed in the love section?

    Also, in the fourth line of the first stanza, should "envelop" be plural?

    Usually I'm a stickler for punctuation, but I think what worked in this piece so well was that it flowed line to line, was easy to follow, and you didn't need the periods, only the minimal commas here and there. It made the piece read softly and gently. Hope you keep sharing here.

    Welcome to PnQ, by the way!
