Over the river and through the woods

I am tentatively posting this here, although if the subject matter is a little too bawdy I would be happy to delete the contents (or let a moderator do the same if they get the chance first.) Personally, to me, this seems to be within good taste, but I want to keep other's views in mind. I don’t have access to the Adult Forums yet, and if this would be better suited there, I would be happy to remove this version and wait until I’m allowed entrance to the other forum. Thanks for your patience. Enjoy.


The finger dance of hallowed May
rested on the lip of night,
where serpents’ heads embossed on trees,
were halloed by stars’ pale giddy light

Under summer’s heavy breathing,
and a bald eyed moon’s imposing glare,
the grass slept weeping, zephyr creeping
between thighs, secretions, and backbones bare.

my dreams remember voices crooning,
the rich velour of midnight swooning
tasting, fondling, and subduing,
my heart lightly rapping on the sky.

your fingers hinted at strokes and lines:
skin sliding dry; encircling, luring:
the muted sound of cupped sand pouring
drums in my auditory hollow, sugared and refined.

and so, my aura tongue a’tasting,
my words in murmurs all a’wasting,
you set my spirit heavy-drooling
with vulva tremble beneath honey shoulders

In the drowsy sweepsway of moan and tender,
and the frenzy caper of vertebrae bender,
with skins suckling life from one another
we shook the earth to break it’s boulder’s

Now resting, tangled with sweet, warm center
Your fingers lilting me to sleepsurrender
with cosmos breathing behind my eyes,
I bask in truth and afterglow…
slippery night rivers keep their insistent flow.

This poem is like when you learn to ride a bike, and weaving back and forth over the designated line. But everyone's so happy you stayed up, it doesn't matter which side of the line your on.In other words, this is borderline - could be adult or forum 10, unless a moderator disagrees, I'm comfortable - well maybe just a little hot right now
You do have a way with words and thoughts
I think this is terrific! It only reinforces your talents

Kethry, ~giggles~... thanks   . Glad you enjoyed it.

Liz, Thank you so much for your input... your  opinion matches mine (which is why I posted this _here_). A really nice metaphor as well... although I'm not sure which way to take this line: "But everyone's so happy you stayed up, it doesn't matter which side of the line your on" hee hee...  

A note to the rest: I recieved an e-mail from a moderator who said that this post will stay unless it draws negative comments (which I welcome if they are imperative). So, if someone believes this would be more suitably left unsaid, please, speak up!


~ Beth

as one who has pushed the bounds fairly often - and appreciates the sensual and sensuous as much as, if not more than most - let me simply say I love it! incredible metaphors !
