For Sam
unknown

my mind dips into fluid memories
 1
lustful moments, of what I thought was love
 2
tangled warmth, whispered words
 3
rhythmic instances of freedom
 4
this is different
 5
 
 
lost in your beauty, not just your flesh
 6
you give yourself so freely
 7
legs open,to my soft murmurs
 8
left wanting more, needing to fill you
 9
I wander slowly down your body
 10
holding the thought, this is love

Well, there now. I am loved, I love, and I drool over that second strophe.

Should I critique?
L2 - plural (moments).
Since you use punctuation in some areas, use it throughout.  
I would also get rid of the caps at the beginning of each line before aforbing sees it;)

Thank you sam, yes you are loved. Unfortunately it is by a person who knows nothing of poetry or grammer, well spelling either. Accept me for the literary mess i am. Teach me please. I am poor but not too proud. I am sure i can repay you in some way.

This is terriffic and makes me feel like I am right there with you. Very vivid.

faultless in my estimation

I find the imagery a bit forceful and too easy (this is not a comment about your experience, but I think you can make this stronger if you shake your metaphors a bit, suspend them, turn them on their heads, let them read harder).

Add a space after the comma on line 8.

Nicely done.

Sam, I love you!!

Makes me want to change...HAHAHA - private wink at Sam.

This is obviously heartfelt and shamelessly sensual.  I love the idea of legs open to soft murmurs...
 — Isabelle5

lose the first my. it is implied, and unnecessary.

elsewise, like themolly said, ooooooooooooo. nice.
 — noodleman

also, 8 might read better as

legs open, to my murmurs, soft

cause the alliteration flows better and the word gains 2 extra meanings.

soft murmurs
soft legs
left soft

and like that.
 — noodleman

this is a great poem, full of great imagry you can almost taste
 — green_book

Did you change this from your legs open to my soft murmurs?  Or was this the way it was?  I was imagining exactly how my own legs open to soft murmurs and that this was inspired!  I still love the silky feel created throughout.
 — Isabelle5

Nice. and very intimate.
 — Riverwriter2

This one is the better of the two
