he is an incessant tune

running  a marathon pace in my mind

 

weaving an indelible impression

of jazz and culinary skills

of Marlboro Lights and Calvin Klein

 

he is a litany of paperwork

with a scent of me not easily removed

 

i am the coercive thought

piquing his photographic mind

 

weaving an indelible impression

of designer bags and Gucci heels

of Revlon lips and sun kissed skin

with auburn hair cascading down

 

running a marathon pace in his mind.

[Cyprian Van Dyke]

I don't think I'm reading this wrong. But I'll say what I feel.

On my second time reading this I liked it even more. I pictured a woman looking at a male celebrity figure that lived a beautifully scented life of music, cooking and fashion, that you felt wasn't bad in the eyes. I pictured him in a magazine. But at times, I pictured him in he room with you, which brought the narrative to the next level. :) I also really liked how you mentioned not only what he was to you, but what you were to him, which brought it to the next, next level. :) :)

That's where my mind went when reading this. Enjoyed the read, very. Tyfs

It's always fascinating to learn how a poem I've written is interpreted. Thank you so much, Cyprian, for taking a second look!

This is Vogue in writing poetry. I love its smoothness. Without edges and complete in and of itself.

[Kelly Scheppers]

So thrilled you enjoyed it, Ken! Have a fabulous weekend!

Dear Kelly,

What made this poem truly special for me were the delectable personal details of each lover in their sketch. It was so beautiful to read. Mutual attraction and passion are so powerful, coercive and mindblowing. I could even compare it to dynamite. It will be a marathon blissfully run.

[Kelly Scheppers]

Thank you Divya, for the light you bring to my page!

[DIVYA]

Its a joy to visit your page, dear Kelly. You're most welcome. 🙋‍♀️💕

Beautifully hushed whispers seem to speak over us in every line. You do know how to weave stories that are intimate and vast... eyes gazing... mind creating... worlds exploding and reforming. May this blissful dream of loving always flow through you... and may you always be so gracious as to share it with us all here.

[Kelly Scheppers]

Thank you most kindly, Craig!

I adore your erotic poetry dear Kelly. It is so alive and so passionate. I tell people, we must excite the mind first and the body will follow. Thank you for sharing the amazing poetry my dear friend.

That's a beautiful thought, John. So true! Thank you most kindly!

[Coyote Poetry]

You are welcome dear Kelly.

exquisite poem. true california hum along. why do i say thus? cause only a cali girl could write of sun-kissed skin when the rest of our continent is buried under grey skies and 6 ft of snow. :))

love the work as always Kelly. Your hold on the sensual is bloody marvellous and unparalled.

You flatter me so, but I love it! Much appreciate your compliments of praise, Ken. Thank you so much!

Minds don't always have to be great to think alike. When two are in love, songs become more powerful, words magnify, and dreams coincide.

An excellent poem for all that was mentioned below. :)

[Kelly Scheppers]

It's always a thrill to see you, Tim. Thank you!

It’s that excitement that causes the marathon in mind like a insatiable appetite. So nicely worded Kelly but in regards to the photo I wonder how many females would have their hips not supported by the bed naked like that as comfort is a high priority even though the symbolism behind it suggests take me I’m yours.

[Kelly Scheppers]

Interesting point, Andrew. But that's what attracts the eye to her, as it did with you. Very clever photography, I would say. Thank you for your eye for detail. Much appreciate your review!

[andrew mitchell]

Don’t get me wrong she is beautiful but going by the pose and the women I have had in my lifetime to love they haven’t exposed themselves to that way of greeting. My wife would say hurry up my back is killing me in that pose. A beautiful photo of the female form all the same.

[Kelly Scheppers]

Lol, I believe your wife speaks for many of us!

Hello dear Kelly

These two are in sync. They are in love.

weaving an indelible impression, mentioned twice, the repetition adds emphasis.

Such a fabulous write and your posted artwork is perfect for your lines. This poem sparkles.

[Kelly Scheppers]

Thank you, Chris. My very best to you!

[Tom]

I guess when one is in love, he/she is all things to all man/woman, and ain't that so beautifully appealing?

Inspiring 🥰

[Kelly Scheppers]

Thank you, Tom!
