I T S ⁓ (envisioning)

Unmetered Quatrains … unusual mood for me, just something I awoke to I'd been dreaming of.

I T S ~

          O’ touch its soft

          caressing care,

          cherish it oft,

          lissomely share.

          Upon the wind

          its lush bouquet,

          within, ascend …

          its charms obey.

          Breathe in its taste,

          adore its motion,

          tightly embraced,

          lured by its potion.

 

          Warmly moist

          its petals’ dew,

          to rise ’n foist

          deeply into.

         'Pon rigid spire

          its rippling grip,

          with surging fire,

          incessant clip …

          there is no quitting

          its captive spell,

         ’til perfectly befitting

          its sating quell.

Seems you've written on behalf of the men who can't express their thoughts of and needs for physical love and its aftermath. Finely put and almostdiscreet le.. except for the small inferences!

Fine writing as always, a subtle examaple of the Unmetered Quadtraine

(Mucha's paintings would please you.)

[Richard🖌]

Ah, Adolphe Mucha, my favorite art nouveau artiste … what a master at his craft he truly is, and how thoughtful of you to mention his work. How very correct you are, too -- he pleases me greatly.

Thank you, emmajoy, most humbly for reading and sharing your keen views on this rather imaginative, sensually visual piece.
It came without effort, simply dancing into the mix of my ink's appreciative, sultry thoughts and cherished, knowing, sensational feel of a woman.

How sincerely grateful I am for your praise, and always for your lovely presence✨ ⁓ Richard


(your new avatar tenderly touches)

[emmajoy]

New avatar is me recovering from a second bout of measle, thirthy two years ago.. with kitty chivers! I saw a Mucha exhibition in Bournemouth a couple of years ago.. was overwhelmed and delighted in the form, colours and silky smooth results of Mucha's work. Have you read his bio... makes 'interesting' reading. Tis always a pleasure s to read your poetry, Richard.

[Richard🖌]

Have not read Mucha's bio, but on your recommendation.
Your sharing is enjoyed emmajoy.
It is such a blessed feeling to know you find pleasure in my poetic efforts … with warmest appreciation.

[kitty]

Softly sensual ... appealing to the imaginative mind of it's reader and the mood conjured up by reader/writer. Takes skill to put this feeling across. Thank you for sharing this.

[Richard🖌]

Uh-oh!
So, you found this sizzlingly appreciative homage to …
If anyone grasps the essence of this one, Kitty Dear, I know it would be You.

Thank you, too, M'Lady … you are most welcome! ⁓ Richard ; )

[kitty]

The art of reading between the lines makes an accessable path for a summer of love! Skillfulness comes in catering for a wider audience.

[Richard🖌]

So keenly your lovely mind works.

[tracey]

[Richard🖌]

[Richard🖌]

I just reviewed your 1st one, Tracey.
Be sure to read and review other's offerings, that they'll know you want to share.
I am so happy you've began posting your poetry … I think we're in for a very nice treat. : )

[‘Thoughts In Time..]

It is the most tantalising and beautiful emotion that rides on wings rested in the ocean- it’s like the dew at dawn allowing to be played like a porn- it’s just what it is and so very much more- wonderful and I love the picture🌹

[Richard🖌]

Dear Kelly,
And, I love your review, your poetic voice and treasured grasps of my little scribblings in ways so few seem to … "so very much more" indeed. ; )

How gratifying you are … thank you, Lovely Lady-Poet✨ ⁓ Richard

[‘Thoughts In Time’🌹]

Pleasure is mine🌹

[Susan 🦋]

Well now Richard!... Not sure how well I can review this poem..but I will certainly try. If I would close my eyes and imagine a man so entralled with his lover...this would be it. For me, this speaks of tendernesss, want and desire....satisfaction. IT'S a lovers poem..but, from a mans perspective..this I just LOVE!!.I love the softness...wait! its the appreciation..that I'm picking up...ahhh to feel those feelings from a lover so grateful...what a gift :-)..love the pic.shy and gentle woman..

[Susan 🦋]

more...this picture is wonderful. I like it because..of the gentle nature of the woman..It compliments the poem and the feeling expressed.

[Richard🖌]

Spot-on, Susan!
You've hit the nail square on the head, even adding a warmly sheen with your special touches that make it all feel so much more real and effusive to the senses.
The womanly sweetness in your words complete the manliness of my own.

Thank you, Dear Lady, for such warm, arousing gratification … hugs to you! ⁓ Richard ; )

[Susan 🦋]

:-) reading again...love this one!!!...ahhhhhh
Warmly moist

its petals’ dew,

to rise ’n foist

deeply into.

lol might be too early on a sunday morning for this... :-p

[Dave]

Richard - truly you speak of love and making love in the most lyrical of forms. You ignite the senses in your passion that will not be denied. I so much enjoy your writing.

Take care - Dave

[Richard🖌]

Thank you, Dear Dave,
For sharing your greatly appreciated take, praise, and expressed enjoyment/involvement in and of this little poetic homage to "envisioning".

Blessings, My Friend! ⁓ Richard : )

[Delmar Cooper]

First of all it's really pretty. The apostrophe is a primmer in meter, thank you for that lesson and tip. I'm at sea about what "it" is. Am I supposed to be?
Is it like a New Yorker cartoon that all get but me?
Maybe that's the point? Maybe one day I'll stop, dead in my tracks, and say "oh".

[Richard🖌]

Thank you, Delmar, most gratefully and sincerely for selecting this little mystery journey into the readers' own envisioning.
Most all my pieces are so simple and clear-cut there is no question what they're about.
After a respected poetess mentioned how basic my work really is, I thought it's about time I put something out there everyone count envision the meaning of in the creative bent of their own imaginings … of course, I know my intent of what "I t s" really is. ; )

A couple of readers have messaged me what they think "I t s" is, and one was spot-on, but neither has reviewed it for me, yet.
Thank you again, Dear Poet! ⁓ Richard : )

[Angelheart1]

Yes, ITS sensational and mysterious like a User who is waiting on the affects of a drug to bring them to a sated quell. Its much different than what you may have intended but its the message I received. I didn’t quite get how the picture fit in with your words unless ITS has another meaning altogether. Yours, Angel

[Richard🖌]

Thank you, Dear Angel,
Your time spent in reading, enjoying, and interpreting this piece have gifted me all the measure in pleasure its meant to be for imaginations to envision.

One must fit the picture into their own envisioning as it best fits! ⁓ Richard ; )

[lightsong]

Yes, it feels like a dream, dreamy, profound, sensational, mysterious, passionate like a real dream must be, there is an ascend ethereal ecstasy, like a spirit rising with the shree glory of the powerful deepest emotions, there is a lure in each (ITS) word, and its verses, that even makes this piece more special and unique, there is amount of bliss and blessings sweep through Your words, like You are in heaven, Your spirit is embraced with the rapture of a prim sensation, a rapturous sensation of rebirthing... this feels not only a dream, but urge us to "a'dream"... the image too, touches my heart in a special way, all of the atmosphere gives me a feeling of ancient love story that still lives till today, from generation to another... like a goddess love, or a myth story.

[Richard🖌]

Thank you, Dear GH, ever-so warmly, gratefully, and blissfully for your sweet, delightful words to this metaphorically envisioned, creative piece.
"Its" certainly a dream from time immemorial.

Smiles 'n hugs to Thee! ⁓ Richard : )
