I want to wrap your hand in mine ...
fingers entwined.
I want to press my lips to yours...
love not confined.
*
I want to hear you whisper ...
emotions expressed.
I want to shiver from your touch ...
desires confessed.
*
I want to lay in your arms ...
comfort in heat.
I want to sleep against you ...
energies deplete.
*
I want to spend my life with you...
every day and night
I want to share in everything ...
all the fun and fright.
*
So take my hand,
hold it tight ,
never let it go.
Like hourglass sand
and fading moonlight
time never passes slow.

It's so true, with the one you love time never passes slow. Isn't it the best to sleep against your partner? Even five minutes energizes me more than a whole night on my own. Great poem, love it!
You've captured the tender intimacy and deep longing of love so well, from those sweet moments of physical closeness to the bigger dreams of sharing a whole life together. I especially love how you ended with the hourglass sand and fading moonlight imagery.
Oooo part one was about you. Self love in a way. Then this is about what you want to do to another person. I like. 😍 Goosebumps. The longer lines, accompanied by the shorter ones. This must be written in a specific poetic form. Ruled by the rhythm, beat and rhymes. It flows so incredibly well. Okay. I am blown away. It's too much for me not to fangirl over this. The shift in the last six lines was expertly done. I felt goosebumps all the way through that part too. ❤️🤗
Awww, this was so sweet. Such a wonderful poem!
A sweet declaration of love, Krysha! It's what a relationship should be--warm and comforting.
Aw how sweet!
