Cherche Moi

Avatar Artist: Pablo Picasso (Spanish, 1881–1973) Title: Les amoureux, Geneviève cherche moi Medium: burin engraving and drypoint

Find me

by the folded

satin sheets

where rivers run

cool

and sun caresses

the valley

floor.

There we will

drink deep

and quench

the thirst

we have

forever shared.

Inside this

gilded

tent

the perfume

of erotic

passion

will intoxicate

us,

lead us into

temptation

until we are sated,

and sated

some more.

Oh my, there is some rich, passion in this. Stirs one up. Again, powerful use of imagery, John!

[John Alexander McFadyen]

[gram linski]

Tres bien,, encore,feast on and feast more if I did search you would I find a mars bar in your pocket, or are you just pleased with this poem, I am.

[John Alexander McFadyen]

[gram linski]

Haha. his European Fiscal policy sucked didn't know his Kensian economic plan of demand and supply, the Korwa,

[John Alexander McFadyen]

So you are a spend, spend, spend sort of guy like Keynes? Surely not in 'socialist' Scotland?

One of the strongest, most exquisite sensual poems I've read in weeks! I love the combination of outdoor imagery & sensuality, but this is off the charts! I love how your imagery is dynamic & how your word choices are a teensy bit elevated in a Shakespearean way, to reflect the elevated feelings you express (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie

[John Alexander McFadyen]

Margie, only few understand such intimacy and I am happy you see its naked desire. Thank you.

[John Alexander McFadyen]

Soooooo....you are con-tent under canvas fella? Cheers 'E'

[Einstein Noodle]

:) ................. something about the smell of it .. and the warmth inside ... reminds me of being young

[Cherrie]

First of all if that's a yoga position I've been doing it all wrong!
And
Second this is a warm and passionate lover's tryst

[John Alexander McFadyen]

Ah well there is evidence that weight loss and fitness can be benefits and weightlessness at the point of no return! Passion is so underrated me thinks Cherrie. Many thanks. I still don't get yoga and pilates lol!

[Cherrie]

Yoga and pilates= that's why we do it just to mess with your mind. :)

[John Alexander McFadyen]

Men just don't get it, or shopping, or false nails etc. perhaps we are Martians?

[Cherrie]

I have to admit I hate shopping at the mall. i'm more of a attack and grab shopper myself.
I'm with you on the fake nails there nasty.
but I do love the ballet

[kentuck14]

John,
I hope you become "sated" soon or my screen will melt!!!

[John Alexander McFadyen]

Ah! Sorry Tom I think it might be wise to get one on order today! Many thank yous.

[jacob erin-cilberto]

i like the idea of being double "sated"--and i had to smile at the reference to the satin sheets and cool rivers...as i have My Pillows...and they stay so cool...refreshing..not as full of passion when alone...but.....
sensual write.

[John Alexander McFadyen]

Double sated may well simply be poetic licence, although if lovemaking is good it finds satisfaction in so many ways. Thank you Jacob.
