It hits me
on nights like these,
nights when the rain plays,
nights for warm lovers
to lay down on cold sheets,
nights when the rain dances a pattern
on the darker side of the window,
and the notes of the navajos
becon the gypsy,
and incense calls up the spirits,
and purring cats siesta on pillows,
and the goddess is free, and renewing herself,
it hits me,
on nights like these,
how i crave for
the touch of the stranger.

This plays out like a movie in my mind.
Wonderful Michele. hugs, Chris

on nights like these
the cool Autumn breeze
takes his Lady in hand,
leading the waltz.

She, adorned in ivory lace
hanging from my window,
lifts her skirt
with each dip

to kiss my cheeks
to sleep.

The erotic touch of a stranger..born in the dark with the sound of rain on the roof.



perfect.

A beautiful, sensual, pleasurable poem......smile

This poem takes us
Above the physical
To the soul of sex

By enhancing desire
Found only on spiritual planes
*
We are all strangers there,
Searching for the perfect touch
Dreamers floating down sublime rivers,
Drunk on the philtre
Of  Iseult and Tristen
Where spirits are allowed to touch-
And live out physical fantasies:
Far from rain on roofs, and purring cats...

The rain continues,
this dark and lengthening night,
beating harder-
against the creaking windows;
so much longing in my heart...
