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**

A very sensual and beautiful poem on the Night. Darkness as it falls, brings with it dreams and sensations of a mystical and passionate kind. I love this aspect of the Night. Superbly written Lydi. ❤

Thanks so much, Divya. Lydi**

Full of absolute palpable atmosphere. One can feel it on one's skin. Lovely Lydi.

Indeed a proscribed activity Lydi! Sensual, intelligent and elegant in its portrayal of desire, lust and abandon.

[Lydia Shutter]

Oh, passion is never forbidden, John...it is what makes us human. Thanks for the review. Lydi**

[John Alexander McFadyen]

I agree however 'concupiscence. is generally held to be "inclination or innate tendency of human beings to long for fleshly appetites, often associated with a desire to do things which are proscribed." lol!

[Lydia Shutter]

Concupiscence, in my dictionary, is defined as "strong sexual desire; lust." I still say passion is not forbidden. LOL

[John Alexander McFadyen]

Oh I agree. In short supply at times lol!

A deposition of wild abandon laced with the most wonderful vocabulary and tied in a bow of lusty passion Lydia - and it's not even Friday - well I mean...it's Friday somewhere in the world..right?

Pure class my friend.

Oh, it is Friday in India, China, Japan, and other places....so why not? :) Thanks very much, Tony. Lydi**
