Morning streams into my room
Sighing, I can still smell perfume
Thoughts awaken like indigo broom
Branching through my heightened senses
Bring smiles reminiscing and lightly scented
The night before was full of dreams
Visions of a lover and romance it seems
The picture of this idyllic man is very intense
I become deeply immersed in my sensual thought
If I dwell too long in this dream I become overwrought
In the cold nights of coming winter
Conjuring a lover to keep me warm simmer
Like a tree, a man sturdy with eyes that glimmer
Sadness of life when north winds blow and ice freezes
Brings me to places of soft warm summer days and breezes
Deeper I plunge into actually wanting
I’m awake stretching my mind and yawning
Tears begin, musing for this lover in my dawning
This is how a woman’s heart cries to be given to a man
And why a man should know the value of a heart and understand
As tears fill my eyes I rise up to leave
This room full of scents that makes me grieve
Still thinking of the lover and how skillfully I weave
Into existence a friend, a lover, sturdy and strong to be with me
A journey that joins hearts and dreams in beautiful precious reality

Not only because it's great poetry, but these lines:
"Tears begin, musing for this lover in my dawning
This is how a woman’s heart cries to be given to a man
And why a man should know the value of a heart and understand"
-priceless lines- it would be a truly great thing if men realized this. There are wonderful, caring men around, but I think men (and women, too, esp. those who settle for being treated less) can all learn from this - and a great reminder for us all.
Love it, Jadite!

You write with such sensitivity and with such insight into how a woman feels. If only this romantic plane could last forever. Nicely done.
and you....

I imagine "A Quiet Man" for you, John Wayne type.
