Flower Petals
You remind me of flower petals.
So pretty
So flawless
So miraculously elegant
Yet so unnoticed by the outer world
But, fret not
For I notice
And I observe
You being whisked away by the slightest breeze
Oh, how I wish to take you away instead
I feel you,
You are gentle to the touch
Your silk-woven fingers
Run across my cheek
You rest your forehead against my own
As your star-speckled eyes gaze upon mine
In your eyes
I see a galaxy upon galaxy
A constellation of beauty
Upon no end.
Your lips press against mine
And I feel a fire spark in my chest
Burning
My heart is slowly melting
Layers of ice withering away
I can feel every bone
Screaming out
Screaming for you to continue
Begging for your embrace
I’ve never felt so much love
So much passion
Within a few short moments
There isn’t a sense of boredom
There isn’t an urge for lust
There’s just a craving for you
With every sense of being within me
I will tell you
I need you
I want you
I love you
Wholeheartedly, and without a doubt.
Your existence is a blanket of comfort and tranquility
Wrapping around me and binding me to you
Your hands
Your fingertips
Your eyes
Your lips
I’ve never felt or tasted anything so sweet
So pretty
So flawless
So miraculously elegant
Yet so unnoticed by the outer world
But, fret not
For I notice
And I observe
You being whisked away by the slightest breeze
Oh, how I wish to take you away instead
I feel you,
You are gentle to the touch
Your silk-woven fingers
Run across my cheek
You rest your forehead against my own
As your star-speckled eyes gaze upon mine
In your eyes
I see a galaxy upon galaxy
A constellation of beauty
Upon no end.
Your lips press against mine
And I feel a fire spark in my chest
Burning
My heart is slowly melting
Layers of ice withering away
I can feel every bone
Screaming out
Screaming for you to continue
Begging for your embrace
I’ve never felt so much love
So much passion
Within a few short moments
There isn’t a sense of boredom
There isn’t an urge for lust
There’s just a craving for you
With every sense of being within me
I will tell you
I need you
I want you
I love you
Wholeheartedly, and without a doubt.
Your existence is a blanket of comfort and tranquility
Wrapping around me and binding me to you
Your hands
Your fingertips
Your eyes
Your lips
I’ve never felt or tasted anything so sweet

This contains a side of love that is purely emotional, approaching rapture. You're going for his essence. This is a moving, lovely write, Megan.

this piece felt lengthy. my favorite lines are "Begging for your embrace / I’ve never felt so much love / So much passion / Within a few short moments / There isn’t a sense of boredom / There isn’t an urge for lust."

i felt the double-spacing wasn't needed. i like the flower metaphor in the beginning.
