Clandestine

the way i perceived it, this write is about the impatience while waiting for a clandestine rendezvous with a lover and the impatience even after meeting him, yearning to go further than a kiss and then the realization that it should last longer ...nicely composed...

if i may make a wee bit of suggestion, choose an alternative word or expression for the word "unearth" which appears twice...how about changing it in the last line to
"to prize them out"?

I heard this one and I felt this one. Unnerving yes. In this line should it be enticing instead of inticing? Of course I do not have my dictionary up and you could be right and I could be wrong.

on your inticing lips
There are secrets here

enticing lips

Another thought to throw at you here:

perhaps I need a spoon
instead of a shovel
to unearth them

suggests: perhaps I need a shovel
instead of a spoon to unearth them. (this meaning they are bigger to unearth with the shovel instead of the spoon) hmmm thinking..good one Golden Gal and hope all is well by you.
No secrets here but a good feedback to you on this one as the visual and the words ringing in my ear. Now I await that secret to finally unfold itself.

I liked the love affair theme, I liked it all.

nerves raw and stuttering with pure impatience I await changes that seem never to come stuck at the mercy of another's indulgence I pace in anticipation grinding my teeth in needling frustration there are confidences on your enticing lips There are secrets here to be revealed perhaps I need a spade instead of a spoon to unearth them

The words I bolded were the ones I loved. Their placement, strength, and sound made the poem for me. In fact, it was those words that made the poem enjoyable to read aloud.

Okay I don't know what happened to the formatting... SORRY!

wonderful language cat
this write really strikes a chord....

to be at the mercy of another's whim is a bad place to be....
love and biggest hugs
