I Want All of You
I am imagining that there is
nowhere else that you would rather be
than in my arms
making love with me.
I am dreaming of so many nights
when I hold you tight,
and squeeze you tenderly
so softly, yet with all my might.
I am exploring every part of you so carefully,
your every secret exposed to my delight.
As your fingers slide sweetly into mine,
I want all of you to myself tonight.
Certain that we will cherish our love
as warm passions flow
and the night goes by
forever slow.
A note from Chris
I am so grateful to my guest artist, Ronnie Biccard, for her permission to use her painting “Creature Comforts” along with my original poem for this post. Ronnie just recently moved to Cheltenham, England from her native South Africa. She is also one the newest followers on my Facebook Page! (Please check it out and remember to click the “Like” button!) Thanks so much Ronnie! I am very excited to present this particular “pairing” of my words with her beautiful painting. You can learn more about Ronnie and her art on her blogsite and gallery! Also see her Flickr Stream here!

as warm tears flow
and the night goes by
forever slow.
Really like the combo of forever and slow…great poem!
Love the painting and the poem. Great combination and expression of heart.
Too beautiful, just the opposite of my songs of the frogs. Oh well..
I like “forever slow” and your use of space.
Shawna, “forever slow” would certainly be preferable in a perfect world, wouldn’t it? Thanks for following along with me on this one…good to know you are appreciating the inspiration.
Beautiful art and lovely write!
Wonderful, romantic write. Thanks!
Beautiful “present moment” with an incredible piece of art to inspire. Thank you.
Great painting and a wonderful write!
Shanyn, You are so kind to take the time to visit, comment and yes… this pairing is one of my favorites…of all time!
Very nicely done. Flows well in a very romantic way!

Charles, Thanks for the kudos…..hopefully I accomplished my objective…. thanks for stopping by!
This is a theme we can all identify with. There were also some nice rhymes in there: “nights” “might” “delight” “tonight” that made the sound of the poem nice.
Beautiful piece- painting and poem.
Thank you Laurie, I am following along with you on your site, although I might be just behind a little. I always look forward to insight and comments so much!
Yes, she does look like she is imagining, dreaming, exploring… Now let’s hope she has the courage to get up off the couch and pursue him. 🙂
Margaret, even though I wrote this poem from my manly viewpoint, I do believe it totally works for this beautiful dreamer girl as well! I absolutely love Ronnie’s painting with my poem! Thanks for finding me and for commenting!
Chris…you are so lucky to have such a wonderful pool of inspiration to swim about in. Each and every image is always fantastic, and the words they prompt from your pen are always a worthy equal. A fantastic visit once again!
Tash, I am swimming in it for sure and it is a wonderful thing! I love that visual ~ I just don’t to wash up on the rocks anytime soon! I refuse to let that happen! Grace to you!
Very nice poetry, and I like the artwork too. The perfect accompaniment for your piece. I saw your post on the Oak Cliff Boomers Facebook page. My lifelong friend Sandra Hood Allen and I wrote a novel in the women’s fiction genre titled I.O.U. Sex. We had a lot of fun using our old Oak Cliff haunts as settings for our back-story scenes. Good luck with your poetry.
Thanks Sandy for visiting and giving me some feedback…yes, growing up in Oak Cliff was so very special! I am thinking of a Kip’s Big Boy Chocolate Sundae even as I post this reply!
Beautiful! Just Beautiful!
Millie, Thanks for stopping by and visiting today! Such undeserving accolades from you are so cherished always!
