Wispy White~
Sheer lace at bay’s pane,
Silky sheet stretched…
On tufted down
A feather coverlet sleeps
Spooned to cloud-fluff pillow~

Frosting Pink~
Cotton-candied flimsy scrap
Of whisper net, diaphanous,
On my shoulders, between thighs
Lightly drapes~

Warming Gold~
As the rising sun
And butter daffodil yellows
Scent balmy candles
Casting shadows, duet
Silhouette upon vanilla wall
Glow~

Lively Lavender~
Your rich-flowing
Veins quake...
Your thought-choking
Need to paint me with
Your brush~

Raging Red~
Cravings on fire,
In eyes deep desirings
Explosive reds striking
In thunderous showers,
Our lightening hour~

Color Indescribable~
Souls collide,
Heartstrings slide
The spiraling slope,
Speckled bright hope~

Tawny Teal~
Calming sea waves
Abreast tan dune
And dew-meadow green
As our embrace takes us
Into soothing sleep
And kaleidoscope dreams~



...chanson~

Music, tonal clear & pure,
Caresses the harshest of curves.
-me, Song of Gesture

My favorite would be the whispy white if I had to choose, but since you aren't...I loved the whole poem.

Okay so now I have a favorite of yours and not only that I am putting this one in my library.  This is one heck of a poem my friend to say the least.  It's beauty is only surpassed by the perfect flow in which you penned it with.  Superb!!!!!!!

Me, like you, likes subtle sensuality. (That is...when I'm not liking the blatant, in-your-face kind) hehehe)

Your reply is so kind, jm...thank you!
