In The Throes....

I Know, I'm suppose to be reading...couldn't help it!!!

In The Throes....


Passion has stirred from somewhere deep

Once I finally gazed upon your eyes

To the surface comes a need I knew not was there

Twas a dimmed burning in some far away sleep


I know not this yearning, yet I am drawn to explore


All inhibitions easily cast aside

In the throes one needs no pillows

The only need is to be touched inside

In my youth, hastiness seemed all I was given


With age, I am discovering all the wealth of that which has been hidden


Like a wine bottled, the liquid once left, spills over

But like the taste, once a tease, please, please I want more

By the light of day, long before the moon appears

In the throes let all disappear, whether day or night

No more fears my dear, everything will be alright


Let my arms my dear be the pillows through the shadows of our days and nights

In the throes...

Very pretty and not crass. Physical love can and should be sensitive and lovely. You wrote it well.

Nadine, lovely. True to your style, leaves plenty to the imagination. CHilly in Nova Scotia? Duvet ready? Beautiful and linked.

Nadine, nothing calm about uncorking that bottle of wine. Day or night resting on the softness of your arm(s) as pillows. Very warm on the way to the boiling point.

Beautiful and so true: "With age, I am discovering all the wealth of that which has been hidden." Voted up and touching.

Hi there all my wonderful and truly fantastic followers and great people I now call friends... Thank you all so very kindly, I was determined that the weekend be spent well, by reading only, but unfortunately i get side tracked all the time.. I've been reading, crying, laughing, touched, astounded, relieved, sucked in--you name it--there is so much wealth and riches beyond in this forever little land I've grown to love--Hubville/Hubland is a place I feel so loved and at home--I wish for everyone here that you feel the same--we've the best riches and treasures in the world, and your comments and continued support even when I go off track makes my whole world a place I so much more enjoy!!!! Thanks to you all--I'm off strolling through Hubville only going to read and let you know I've been there, because guys and gals that's what this place is all about letting each other know whether our time here is well spent--never, ever, be afraid to offend--just be!!! I love you all!! xoxoxoxxo Got me some serious reading to do...Have an awesome saturday night, mine is already, thanks to you!

Lovely poetry Maggie. I can't keep from wondering why we have to acquire age to appreciate the finer things in life, love included. Whoever said that feelings stopped at the waist after 50 must have been paralyzed. I relate with your feelings about our Hubber friends.It's wonderful to know that people love you as a friend, just as we are, no pretense. We all get off track, but we're always welcomed back with open arms.. " That's what friends are for " I love that song and i love you as a dear friend...

I knew you couldn't resit the urge to write, a break from your reading was well worth it. Look what you have created here, a beautiful flow of throes and things. The challenge and tease from Epi to you to give it a go, paid off in spades with this sensual romantic scribe.

Your taste is first class and a taste of your wine has us wanting more. Very well done Maggie, it ranks up there beside Epi and his latest. That one also stirred this saddle and really showed his compassion and love for his woman or a woman that would be in his life. Thank you for taking a break from your reads to treat us to your nectar....Hugs to you my Maggie May..

Oh, I love to see the soft and romantic sides of my friends... this is tender, tasteful and tantalizing.

Good good morning (saddlerider1), it was indeed a challenge especially keeping in mind the guidelines and rules of hubs..but nonetheless fun. When first published here I spelled throes wrong--I had throws..thanks to my wonderful friends we corrected that very big blunder..At first, I was mortified, but now--I am laughing at my spupidity--good thing I did not enter into a contest--the embarassment, ugh! Thanks for checking in on me--and wow, it sure is difficult to refrain from writing as reading inspires me so!!!

I've been working on an abuse piece too, from a little girl's point of view, not sure if I will publish it or not, we'll see.. Thanks so much, I learn from you..

Hugs, MM

Maggie-May...look forward to it...one day you will be happy just to have the love of your life in the same room, content just with his presence. It's even better than the throes. But carry on.

Loved that Last line Maggie-May...It brings this Poem Home! Heck, it's all so VERY GOOD!

Maggie-May Hub Author 7 months ago

Hi there (anndavis25), I do so look forward to that point in my life, and you're absolutely right, the throes is just another bonus... This hub was merely my attempt to write something started up by a few other hubbers--something of an erotic genre.. Thanks for coming by and leaving a nice comment,

MM

hi there (b.Malin) good to see you, thanks so very much.. I enjoyed writing this one, and it's my favourite Poets that began this genre to be tried out...

Take care, and thanks again,

Very nice - I like "With age, I am discovering all the wealth of that which has been hidden" and I find this to be so true, a new appreciation for what has been there all along! Enjoy! There is so much more in store ;-)

Maggie-May Hub Author 7 months ago

Hi there (Chathath) so very good to see you..yeah, that phrase I felt to be the best I've come up with..and thank you, I'm ready for it all, I think. lol

Take care, and thanks again,

MM
