Naked
by Linda L. Dowd


I stand naked before thee.
If ye be so desirous of mine flesh,
cast not a stone upon it.
Touch this heart and soul with love,
~ then ye shall taste the sweetness
of my secrets.

Okay I promised myself no writing today.  But ... but ... ...
How explicit, delicate, tender and beautiful.
Don't I have better things to do than go on Pip?
then be involuntarily compelled to respond despite myself? ...

Why get up if you don't have to?

I had a feeling that this painting of a sweetly seductive nymph would get the attention of some pip poets of the male persuasion.

When I found it on the Net, I went, "Aha! Perfecto!" lol

Thank you for your nice reply!

Pip has the power to do that! lol I have promised myself the very same thing ~ but the lure of this site keeps pulling me back in even when I have promised myself that I would refrain for that day.

Thank you for your sweet and funny response.

Big hug,

I am certainly in agreement with you about the painting. I am so drawn to this particular one and was delighted when I discovered it while searching for a painting to complement my poem. Frederick Leighton is one of my favourite artists.

I had a feeling that the painting would be up-staging my poem! lol What an artist he was!
He was a renown artist in England in the latter half of the 1800s and died the day after he was made a baron.

Your comment cracked me up!

You, my dear Angelo Terrestre, are so sweet and sensual, a true delight to behold … ah no John, it can't be a photo, because it doesn't show her wings …. !

The picture is truly beautiful, that veil! so perfect upon perfection!

John, if you are leaving for New York at 3 PM your time, then you will be arriving at 10 AM Eastern Standard Time. You'll be gaining 5 hours! That gives you more time to sightsee  ~ and party! lol Have a safe trip!

P.S. Loved your adorable response! I'm flattered that the "photograph" of me raised your blood pressure! lol ~ But not too much, I hope! Nurses are trained to save lives ~ not shorten them!

My Dear Linda..

I never said I was leaving for NY @ 3pm, I said I would be IN NY @3pm ! I have never been backwards at coming forwards...besides, you got my motor runnin' so fast I might just break the sound barrier LOL! So what time does the party start?  BTW, That could come in handy you being a nurse, I may be in need of some extensive intensive care by the month end.....take care

Best

Dear John, my mistake! Well, I suppose if you will be IN New York at 3 PM ~ then that is when the party will start! We could have a big pip love-in with everybody invited!
