Not at all an unfamiliar sound though I can't quite place the face I know well the impression of a heavy step on cobbled walkways How the heart quickens in a double-time cadence I have seen the glistening moonlight on cold steel instruments How they cut through the darkest of nights with surgical precision Warm and thick the flow has now become ...quietly rewarding Egyptian cotton pooled and rumpled an easy breeze wafts over its edge A stifled whimpering precedes a brief moment of ecstasy Then in the deep darkness darkness grows darker still Until at last my crimson maiden you have become my own true love Here's to you and here's to me and should we ever disagree, here's to me! |

Welcome to Passions in Poetry, Mr. Martini! It seems to me that you fit perfectly as you introduce yourself, living in a "State of inebriation"!  And I see you are greatly inspired indeed.This is a very captivating poem, though there is a core of mystery surfacing in your lines. But in the zone of mystery we can let our fantasy freely interpret your words, which makes it all the more valued. Margherita |

Read you with my 10ft. pole but it didn't help much...Would not care to meet you in a dark alley as you are so chillingly convincing. Against my better judgment I will most likely continue to read your work. However, I choose not to do so right before I go to bed as I cannot sleep with the lights on. ~L |

Thank you for your welcome Margherita. There was once a Rita in my life. Perhaps there are some that know you by that name. Constance, I feel you were smiling as much when you wrote your reply as I when reading it. It took me so much by surprise, I nearly swallowed my dentures. I best take a double-shot of Polident the next time I read it. rainyday, I think I'm going to like you. "Wickedly wonderful" had me salivating so much that I think I'll need a 'triple-shot'. Dark alleys are where you chance to meet the most interesting people Ms. Lori Rhoden. The worst of us prey in the light of day. Keep working on that pole. It's a dance few can readily do. Au Revoir Here's to you and here's to me and should we ever disagree, here's to me! |
