This is lovely, a very personal feel to it, this is one of those pieces that makes me feel like a peeping Tom (well a girl one anyway lol) as it seems to be a personal reference, shared with us nosey lot,
"Petals were not yet unfurled,
it curled into a ball.
Your naked beauty glowing,
it shimmered off the wall"
Just one of the lovely stanza's you have here, but I think my favourite one, such beautiful descriptions you have used in this piece, just lovely....

The poem read well, the emotions came through clearly. I liked it, and can imagine your joy at finding that rose left there by someone you had been missing.

You are one of those teddy bear guys.
This poem was sweet and I hope every birthday,
a person in their birthday suit is waiting for you.
It sounds like you enjoyed it.
Nice poem.

Wow, that was very sensual. When read aloud it didn't trip at all, but flowed smoothly. Creative fuel comes to life in long cold winter months! Great expression!

Awww how sweet. But a little sexy at the same time. Very romantic too. Be careful or you'll have the lovebirds pilfering this for their sweethearts!

A nice delicate and bittersweet one you have here Grant. Not as adventurous with imagery and language as I usually expect in your work but still a poem with heart:)

Grunty, such a delightful piece. To the point, simple; yet full of so much feeling. The use of the imagery is romantic and visually. The structure and flow just add to the enjoyment.
Namaste, Willow
