The More I Look

The more I look,
The more she touches me
Profusely.

Her eyes peel my very
Skin, my essence
Of spontaneity's mirth.

Her hair flows down
To my heart's contagion
Motionless of no cure
But to give in,

Though I burn.

The More I Look

'But to give in, Though I burn' and what a lovely way to go Dennis! These lines are the icing on the poetic cake for me! I adore this concise, sensual, tender, romantic write, in which the writer drew me in from the very title and held me, a very willing captive there reading the poem and absorbing it to the very last word. I love the flow to this stellar inking Dennis, the words trip of my tongue effortlessly, as I read. I also love the visual detail in this finely expressed poem, giving the reader a picture of the effect someone special has on someone special.......... Beautiful work Dennis and another resplendent poetic gem to add to your wonderful collection. Thank You for sharing with me........

Would you consider the last

Would you consider the last line to be: I burn in her image? Loved the poem any way, shape or form. ~A The whole modern world has divided itself into Conservatives and Progressives. The business of Progressives is to go on making mistakes. The business of the Conservatives is to prevent the mistakes from being corrected. G.K. Chesteron
