Pyro

When moonlight glistens off
icicle spears
dripping from our outer universes,
tickle me pink
in your radiance
and roll me over another log
that your amorous flame might fuel
my affections.

Though angels clash in hades
and demoniacs retort with moans
that spark
as do smolderings in your timbers
pop,
ravish me in your twilight's flurry,
silence me in your amber glow,
seduce me in your ember.

Pull me deeper,
deeper to your Delilah dance,
oh, temptress fire,
crackling laughter,
Legion's hiss.

I enjoyed reading Bob...lots of smoldering going on and liked the Delilah dance line too...very inventive.

Thanks Victoria...

Not that I have long hair or anything, but, um, I'm really happy that particular line stood out for you.

The poem is to my liking,  Lighthousebob, I admire the play on words you have presented here. Especially did I like
quote:
Though angels clash in hades
and demoniacs retort with moans

. . . but throughout your poem you give the reader something to marvel and wonder about. And yes, like Victoria, I was pulled toward Delilah's dance.

Thanks Jerry...

Of course you were. Of course you were as was I drawn to the dance being of the same male perversion (persuasion). Please, be assured that "the play on words" is one of mutual admiration, my friend, but, um, I'm not so certain that mine is based on perception as much as it is on lack of prescription.
