The Stirring

The Stirring

A Poem by Lori Carlson
"

~from Catharine~

"

The wind whispers softly
across grey-tinged black hair,
as the sun dances across
a tanned figure lounging,
sunglasses perched
upon a romanesque nose.

 

You don't seem to notice
the attraction you are stirring;
the stirrings within,
those long legs stretching,
then crossing, the close lean-ins
baring nearly all.

 

Ahhhs are released
upon lipsticked lips
as you twist to one side -
abs rippling like drops of mercury
on a sizzlin' hot day -
thin bronze fingers reach for a glass.

 

Offerings come from every direction,
burgundy casting irises in sunlight,
a mint julip handed with delicate care,
margaritas of all flavors dance about you
but you accept only your glass:
a perfectly stirred martini.

There is definitely something behind this one, but i love it so much. It's calming in a lot of ways, but its mysterious and curiosity happens to the best of us!
