I Can Imagine Poem by Beth Bailey

I Can Imagine



I can imagine what it would be like to finally be alone with you

To see the warmth of your smile
Feeling it envelop my soul
Taking me to a place that feels like home

To drown in the still, blue pools of your eyes
That reflect the sincerity of your love back into mine

Succumbing to the temptation of your lips
At first soft and shyly,
Then consuming us with the heat of some primal, ancient fire

Inhaling your very essence
Breathing life into me where there once was a void,
My pores opening to accept all that is you

That's what I imagine it would be like

COMMENTS OF THE POEM

Love it, of course. It's very sensual - as opposed to my more intellectual approach. Seeing, feeling, inhaling, breathing... I see why pheremones might matter to you. I'd be oblivious to all that. I think my mind controls my senses - or at least colors their input. Your mind and senses might work the other way around. And in the absence of empirical data - you imagine. And now, just to prove that I couldn't critique anything in the previous two... It's very warm and inviting except for the astronomical metaphor and the word 'urgency' clashes a bit with that soft, tranquil mood you had going on. I think of succumbing to temptation more like a moment of indecision, like a scale tipping, than then gathering speed and momentum until it can't be stopped. I don't know how I would express that. But thank you for making me feel this way.
