the night undressed me

artwork by harry weisburd

i remember being barefoot ‘neath the stars

then the night undressed me

at least that is what i told myself afterwards

 

since there was no other logical explanation

i was wrapped in the lace of sizzling urges

a raiment of intense desire encased my world

my very essence now controlled by passion’s dance

 

ah, the surrealistic charisma of the night

the magic of arousal held my breath

i thirsted for your kiss- your touch

you were the object of my lust

providing a bacchanalia worthy of dionysus

willingly i stepped off the cliff’s edge

falling into a fantasy

 

truly that is how it happened

when the night undressed me

and for a few glorious moments

concupiscence ruled my world

how did I miss this erotically delightful poem Lydi... I love it when the night rules us thusly, touching us and then watching the fall... such wondrous joy it is to be so undressed and ruled... but of course we must blame it on something... that darn night baring us to all those eyes who are just jealous of that surreal magic...

you know Lydi, I love your fantasy, it is always just so damn "nice" and shiverlicious giving me goosebumps...

"Shiverlicious!" Love that word!!! Of course it can't be MY fault...has to be the night....or perhaps some evil dark force. Not quite sure. :) Thanks for the "nice" review, my friend. Lydi**

"Wrapped in the lace of sizzling urges" ... "my very essence now controlled by passion's dance". The world is not made of breathless moments, but "moments that take your breath away". Be still my heart. truly, Pat

I love stopping in. Your poetry dressed up in romance, and undressed just enough to paint a very sensual picture.
