Last Week's Featured Lez Poem:

Untitled

You have bewitched me

Touching

Share summers evenings under starlit skies

You are thrilling

Every day, I fall in love with you

I lay here endlessly awaiting your caress

Your peaceful breath shelters my own

Your beautiful eyes laugh at me

Out of this world

The wine you drink was once the grape I drove past

I'm scared and thrilled by all of it

Come to me, my darling, for you I wait

I look good on you!

Sweet woman

An essence

A smile so precious

We laughed, we played, we teased one another,

I want to shout it to the highest hills and let it echo down to the deepest valley

A love so deep and never unkind

Share my ring

Your purity inspires me

Accept it now, accept my ring, say yes and my heart will sing
