Somebody's Baby
The moment I first saw you there,
Drawn by beauty beyond compare
To something more stirring within,
I knew tonight you'd be my sin.
Yes, somebody's baby before,
Oh you were meant for so much more.
With scarred hands trembling at first touch,
My God, I have missed this so much.
In shadow shared, your neck I kiss.
Soft fingertips, out of practice,
'Cross your skin glide—feel all untold...
All his neglect could not unfold
In palms cradled, eyes closed, breath held,
As passions of mind and soul meld;
My fingers stroke, bring that first purr...
Everything else fades to a blur.
Oh you give as good as you get,
Like no love I have ever met;
With angel's grace, with devil's lure,
And the need born of it so pure.
My will, your voice, you understand
The deft magick of a man's hands.
As touch for touch—as song for song
We make such sweet love all night long.
Your cries echoing through the night,
Till window glows with dawn's first light—
Till, as sweat-drenched, granting release,
I find myself awash in peace.
Fingertips raw...played till they bled,
The pain never felt in my head...
Just joy over lost dreams refound
In a guitar's soul-healing sound.

Thank you, Keith... for helping me to realize there might still be some good inside me somewhere. I'm glad you enjoyed what the search for it found.

I confess that I thought this was another erotic until I got to the last stanza. Music is a form of ecstasy when it comes from the right instrument and skillful hands. You write about the experience well, but I'm not a musician so I can only imagine. Fine work Michael!

"Music is a form of ecstasy"
I confess I him-hawed around for quite a bit trying to decide what category I should put this poem in. Your words confirm for me the choice was right. Nothing else out there to compare it to. Thank you for the visit, Sir Crow.

As stated in your last line, this was a soulful piece. More so than erotic. Full of emotion which are paramount to the action here. But the results are always the toughest parts to deal with. Great job.

Sometimes the results are perfect, and very satisfying that is. Those times are worth every other failed endeavor. :) Always appreciate your perspective DPW.
