I Should Like To Admire You Poem by William Jackson
I Should Like To Admire You
i should like
to carefreely lie
on my back,
all the while
admiring you.
such gracefulness,
your lithe body
clasped softly
to mine.
your cheek,
carefully resting
upon your small hands
each folded one
on top of the other
beneath your chin
and pressed lightly
into my chest.
i should like
to quietly stop
time altogether,
without any fuss
or any fanfare,
all the while
gently cradling
exquisite you
in my arms.
i should like
to brush away
every stray tear
from your eyes
with my fingertips
and kiss away
all your sorrows,
all the while
anticipating
your smile.
i should like
to silently cease
the Earth's revolutions
around the fiery sun,
at this exact moment,
all the while
laughing with you
and whispering
my love for you
in perpetuity
if it meant
i could remain
here with you
like this forever!
Such a sweet description of your love. The image evoked by the first paragraph though, is personally all I needed, but carefreely? Is that really a word? I don't think so. j.
Hi WJ, your poem is a perfect expression of loving bliss. A wonderful start to my day. 10 from Tai
Beautiful. Lucky recipient! And if carefreely wasn't a word it is now... surely poetry is the ideal medium for neology!
Lovely poem. all the while anticipating your smile. Beautiful lines! ~Amber~
A model poem for any apprentice poet, to show how to tread the line of truth to emotion.
Such a beautiful, thoughtful way of saying 'I love you'. That someone could make you wish for time to stand still - such powerful compassion. What more could you want? Linda
Eternity in a moment. Very fine, the way you expand the image to include the image of the sun and earth. I enjoyed and admired this. The language is beautiful, and the message is very moving.
