The Whole of You

I love the wetness in your eyes and the furrowing of your brow when you stare intently into mine
How your bubbling laughter causes me to laugh even if I don't get the joke
The tingle of your skin when I tenderly caress you
And savory pressure of your lips touching mine
But this above all else, I love your scent unperfumed in close embrace, the whole of you wrapped within the whole of me.

Well done! A beautiful love poem. My favourite line is: “How your bubbling laughter causes me to laugh even if I don't get the joke”. Laughter is good medicine.😂
This poem is demonstrative of what it looks like to truly see someone, I love your delineation of the wetness of her eyes, it brings us to think of the part of a person that makes them who they are, not what they can do for us. ‘The whole of you wrapped within the whole of me’ such a tender and loving statement of complete acceptance of her.
💙 Lovely!
This is so beautiful, John! Such enraptured love pouring from each line!
Hi Jc - Whew 'without perfume' ~ Now that's groovy-love..! Coincidence: I know you know I'm not into contests, but tomorrow I'm asking to have published a piece "Eyes" with a very different slant. I'm also a Proud-Veteran - who was separated from my 'Love' for a year while I was deployed: I clipped a short timers calendar on my wall: John, you of course, remember those. Jb-bud.in.l.a.
This is so, so lovely. Each line is perfectly sweet, and adds new dimension to the piece; absolutely superlative love poetry!!
The most beautiful gesture is the expression of love for our loved one.
So beautiful and romantic. Well done, my friend.
A true love poem rooted in something real. I loved this.
People who can make us laugh with their laugh are the best kinda people. This is such a wonderful tribute to your wife 🥰🥰🥰
This is so lovely and soft! Excellent entry!
ah John! another beautiful piece inspired by your wife! love the progression and as others have said that last line is stunning! exquisite work, sir!
A sweet and tender confession. I hope she read this one.
Oh, John, this is beautiful, erotic, stunning, and what every girl would love to hear. You are the master of the love poem, my friend!
I agree with JBaz. That last line. Something about the ol’ olfactory that imbues the whole brain in humanness. Like the love expressed in this astounding piece. Hat’s off!
