Poem: Love’s Sly Ride






After the roses,
And chocolate candy
After candlelit dinner
And late night brandies…

Your lips
Caress the kiss
Of my lips. We share
A wet language:
Of dueling
Tongues
And rattling breaths.

Your hand
Treks slowly
Down this
Path that leads to
The contour
At the small of
My back.

My fingers become these
Rapid heat-seekers,
Reading the hot
Braille of
Your skin. And you are

A pulse beat… and
A knowing smile.
A face of twitching
Fire, and a wild
Undulation. You are
A catch of sweltering
Breath… a torrid
Rhythm and
A swerving of hips.

You are
An urgent voice inside a dream
That whispers softly,
Then crucifies
My name.

And I am part
Animal,
Part man, inflamed.
And I am passion’s
Insane beast!
My hunger
An exclamation, yearning
Your sweet relief.

Inside my eyes
You shine and hum
There is some
Thing in you,
Like a shooting star...
And all of me longs
To catch your

F
A
L
L.

And beneath me
You sweetly quiver
As I lunge…


We are rays of
Light and sweat
Commingling.
We are sighs
And moans
And the rustle of
Sheets swinging.


We are walking
Tongues and hot
Stalking paws.
We are the song
Of angels and
The howl of dogs!

We are a strange
Contortion, and
A rough day’s
Abortion.

We are
A sultry map of steamy
Geography. We become
A happy,
Nappy journey
Through pleasured peaks
And cherished valleys.


We are the lush cry and
The shuttering gasp! We are
Rush of consummation, and
The climatic
SCREAM!

And then…


Your lips caress
This waiting pucker at
The kiss of
My lips.

I levitate.
As my soul shifts
From the gist of
Love’s sly ride…

I … I… I… bask in this utter
Thrill of you, panting,
Convulsing by my side.

And still your
Hand surveys
This Braille of
Me

And you touch
And you touch
Those downy narrow
Places where even

Cupid with his arrow

Would blush.






One Love.

Beautifully written - lustful and full of love - I was THERE. Refreshing after reading a zillion schlocky ink-jetted verses posing as poems on stock glossy cards to read some REAL love poem poetry.

you do a lot of things really, really well - but when you paint pictures of passion - "A sultry map of steamy Geography" - you are in a leauge of your own.

"An urgent voice inside a dream
That whispers softly,
Then crucifies
My name." - i had to stop and just soak that in - brilliant.

Self-Proclaimed Mistress of Nothing said...

That, my dear, is absolutely brilliant. That's the way to write about it... with such fine precision -- no vulgarity required. I don't think I've ever read a better sensual poem.

BRAVO!!!!!!!!!!

Babz Rawls Ivy said...

It moves me so.
