Two poems by Kim McDonald

“Shining Couple,” by Georgeta Blanaru

Ancient Melody

Our bodies dance together

To an ancient melody

Each tender touch of skin on skin

In perfect harmony

Each note strikes a chord

A tug on my heartstrings

Everlasting music

Your soul to my soul brings

Your sensual touch, your Lover’s kiss

Like none I’ve ever known

As passion builds, my body sings

Your song that calls me home

I Wish

"Wish to Fly," Sandi Gayle Stefkovich

I wish that I could be with you

Drawn into your embrace

To tilt my chin and see your eyes

Your hands cradling my face

I wish that I could be with you

And feel your lips brush mine

Your kiss, first soft, grows passion filled

Your touch is so divine

I wish that I could be with you

To linger in your smile

To lay my head upon your chest

And stay quiet for a while

I wish that I could be with you

More than just now and then

To calm my restless breathless soul

And at last come home again
