Only My Heart Knows

My heart knows what I need;
It whispers your name,
Like a sweet melody.
It dances passed my ear drum,
Like music, a bliss, endless pleasure.
My heart knows what I want;
You skin wrapped around my bones,
Enveloping me.

Hi,

Welcome to the site! You chose a nice
little poem to begin.
There are a couple of suggestions I
want to make ...

"a bliss" should be "a blissful"

and I would drop that last line,
"enveloping me" as the previous
line says the same thing.

just suggestions,
welcome again

To echo...

moonman; Welcome to the site! I hope that you will find the things that you need here. Feel free to ask questions, join workshops and enter the monthly contests. I liked the brevity of your work and the title was okay. I disagree with the moonman on deleting the last line. I think that it just emphasizes the feeling of wanting this person close. The rest of his critique seems valid, but he missed a couple of typos: [ passed ] should be [past] and there should be an [r] at the end of you, in the next to last line.
I would also remove the punctuation at the end of each line; they don't really add anything to the work as a whole. ~ Geezer.

consider

the suggestions and corrections already made might I add mine
instead of like a sweet melody perhaps use as in place dancing past might work in conjunction with the previous line
