~Our~

Our love is an hourglass

filled with transparent beauty

sculpted in curving words

graceful gestures

The gentle touch of

our skin caressing

sensuality with

no barriers

pure pleasure

an open mouth

undulating and smooth

giving and receiving

those precious grains of time

When our bodies graze

the sand ceases

its fluid movement

of sifting from

one place to another

The universe stands still

in awe of how our desire

is so freely shared

and a poem rises

presses for its voice

urging to be released

Our love is an hourglass

filled with transparent beauty

sculpted in curving words

graceful gestures

Beautiful, romantic, tastefully sensual metaphors, Michelle. Beauty and art in poetry.

"curving words" is brilliant, in my opinion.

Thank you, dear friend. I had an awesome image of an hourglass, but gather wouldn't let me post it - technical difficulties with the site. Aaargh.

JOHN BECK Aug 5, 2012, 4:30pm UTC

Yes, I wasted far too much time trying to upload one image. Gather wouldn't let me "save and proceed".

What a superb metaphor, so worth repeating, turned over to flow inexorably through the reader's vision.

Very nicely done. I think all of us are having trouble getting pictures uploaded.

Thanks for sharing with Gather’s Luminous Writers & Artists.

I finally succeeded after uploading the latest Java on a Windows computer.

JustMe ~I'm happy to be~ Aug 6, 2012, 7:43am UTC

I have loaded the most recent Java....I have a MacBook Pro. It's Gather.....
