your come-on look sky-high-heels beating out a tattoo on my brain luring me toward your walls of flesh making it perfectly clear nothing is more important than amour among the mighty oaks enchanted, the forest uses the whispering wind to touch our souls sensuality taken to new heights poets have carved their undying love on the trunks of the towering oaks the forest with its unseen eyes watching waiting and sniffing for scent of the intruders behind the eyes are simple survivalist survival their only instinct death they fear not for they think of it not survival and prolonging their tribes existence as we merge a spine-tingling shadows makes my lover's earthen borne lustful flesh completely absorb mine the sounds of the forest unheard of until this moment comes alive; rustling within the shadows flying things, earth-bound centipedes grass and a cooling wind as we lick our bodies into a saliva-induced sheen while in the stream beside us fish ogle the world is left behind all that matters all that can possibly matter is the merging of two fleshly beings as the weeping willow does its thing and the shadows keep still watching two lonely bodies become as one . . . beneath the canopy of the mighty oaks ©March 30, 2013 / Jerry Pat Bolton ~*~ I tried to catch some fog. I mist. ~*~ |

Ah, love and nature go hand-in-hand, and you've captured it well, Jer. This sent me on a trip down memory lane to when I first met my Linda and we spent the weekend at Dome Rock, and then the Sequoia's. Nature has a magical quality. Enjoyed this. Michael |

Ah, affaire d'amour! Hey, you know it's gotta be good, as your poem is good, and, especially, out in the woods whenever 'fish ogle'! Enjoyed! ![]() |

I love the primitive raw feel to this, the combination of nature and desire |
