euphoria?
not sure exactly where it is
                        but
when i can almost feel your ginger scent
as it wafts through my space
              so hypnotic
                                 ahhhhhh....
i remember the swaying steps
to a distant dance
           did you know
                  fireworks are not just

                       for the fourth of july?
then you kiss my lips
your eyes suddenly thoughtful
as if considering the flavor
and i espy a crumb of desire
waiting for my tongue
         right there
and i,  my love
i am downright deliquescent
that's when i’m pretty sure
euphoria is not too far from here

"did you know
firewords are not just for
the fourth of July".

It is rare, in the middle of a love poem, that the writer stops and poses a question to the reader. It
makes the reader stop and refocus on the poems human importance, and by that I mean,
susceptible to and representative of the sympathies and frailties of hominid love.

nicely written, as always.

Again you tempt the imagination to the sensual nature of love with gentle, tasteful care.
Thank you again for baking such a delicious treat with forbidden fruit.
She can bake a pie "Johnny Boy". ;)

Smiling here....actually, no, I sure can't. I am a disaster with baking! :) Thank you for the great review. Lydi**

Ha. Well not all "cooking" takes place in the kitchen.
I suspect you are a fantastic "cook".

[Lydia Shutter]

LOL you naughty boy!

[Desert Knave]

Oh my. I really am not old enough or experienced enough to read this. Tastefully and wonderfully steamy.... with the essential gingeresque reference that I have come to look for. Bravo. ~Jim

wow! I am not a fan of italics, but you do this very well!

I like the formatting also. Nothing much to say. Great piece!

[Lydia Shutter]

thank you so much for your review! Lydi**

decadent, that's what this is, fell in love with the visual this line planted "then you kiss my lips
your eyes suddenly thoughtful as if considering the flavor" that was gorgeous...what a line! The whole poem thoroughly enjoyable. :)

Thank you very much for this lovely review. Lydi**

beautiful - I love the 'real' moment in this heady poem "then you kiss my lips, your eyes suddenly thoughtful" there is that gentle intimacy - ok I'm old and married so perhaps I think along those lines of comfort - but there is a warmth to this poem that is just lovely.

[Lydia Shutter]

I meant it to me a gentle intimacy. Unfortunately, Astri thinks it is "pornographic" which blows my mind. I am so pleased you see it as I wrote it, Tammy. I was beginning to question myself. Thank you very much for the review. Enjoy the rest of the weekend. Lydi**

I'm a sucker for the perfect blend of words and graphics...the is as close to perfection as it gets!
A delicious memory that awakens my morning senses...frustratingly so

Thanks for the 100/100 share

Smiling here.....now there's a review to take to the bank! :) Thank you, Antonyo. May the rest of the weekend be less frustrating! Lydi**

[Antoñyo]

LOL! There's always football!

[Lydia Shutter]

GO FINS! :)

[Antoñyo]

Fins, Rams...we're in the same boat!

[Lydia Shutter]

:) true enough!

Sensuality at its best, Lydi. You do romance poetry like no one else. Exquisite!

[Lydia Shutter]

Thank you so much, Joyce. Have a great weekend. Lydi**

[Lydia Shutter]
