Midnight Love's Foray

 

Come love, take my hand tonight, 

hold me now ’til morn's first light … 

soothes our weary day ~ love’s fragrant bouquet.  

 

Mated lips quench growing thirsts,  

interludes sweetly immersed … 

joined rhythmic ballet ~ stroking cares away.  

 

Sheer oneness in utter bliss, 

we can't join closer than this ...   

whispered breaths portray, sighs urge thighs a’splay.  

 

Heavenly union ~ we’re one; 

in comparing us, there’s none. 

Shun all gainsay … true love’s ne'er passé. 

 

Velvet touch, traced hinder-most,  

each lush sensation’s engrossed ...  

warm passions gain sway ~ midnight love’s foray

The entwining of mutual attentions encapsulated within eloquent prose and wordplay - just exquisite to read and soak up the ambiance - got the ahhhhh factor! :-)

[Susan Capozzi]

:-)) What a sweet review!! Thank you so much!

[Russell Pennwright]

I love how the 1st and 4th verse rhyme and the 2nd, 3rd, and 5th verses rhyme with each other. With 5 verses, it has a song-like quality to it.

What is it about hands.. that picture is.. a monument to photography. It lingers as eyes travel your words.. in Picalai.. (that word trickles off the tongue!). ' .. Velvet touch, traced hinder-most, each lush sensation’s engrossed ... '

How thought provoking is that. Beautiful form, lovely words.

Hope my words mean just a little something to you... one can only hope to achieve some contact or another!

[Susan Capozzi]

You followed the style and the words held me paused.

I find it so hard to write a sensual poem without becoming somewhat graphic. You weave it in effortlessly and make it just as salacious and yet romantic.

An awesome read.

[Susan Capozzi]

Yes, and that's the challenge I enjoy...I rather convey a feeling rather than get hung up on somewhat more 'colorful" words :-) thanks for reading and for another wonderful review! I truly do appreciate you taking the time to express your thoughts of my writings. :-)

[Autumn]

It's a pleasure.
