your hands my body

dreaming once again
of a man's arms
some one's chest
where I can rest my head

heartbeats heard in
quite moments
candle light dancing
on ceilings
sandalwood in
the bedroom air

(I'm no virginal loner)
but with a stomach
full of butterflies
I watch you across
the cluttered room and
feel that your hands
should be on my body
where they belong.

not bad, and I think it would be a lot better if you removed "I'm no virginal loner; but"

that was great-- I'm all hot and bothered! And I agree with Stuh, that line is just out of place and sounds off.

I would echo the sentiments about that line. It's not necessary. The poem would be much stronger just starting from "with a stomach full of butterflies." To me, the "virginal loner" line reminds of that awkward moment when you have to ask if the dude has condoms. Laughing It spoils the mood of what is otherwise a dead sexy poem.

I'm not sure from your name whether this is a poem to be read or sung.

I found it romantic and evocative until the last three lines which were to me a little prosaic.

Otherwise, excellent.

not a singer used to be a slam poet and a bit of raper but that's now taken a back seat
