Tease Me ... Please Me ... And You Do
~Marge Tindal~ 1999

You start with gentle caresses.
Slowly working your way
to the very parts that
await your touch.

I am putty in your hands.
Sculptor that you are,
you run your fingers over the wet clay ...
taking me away.

Manipulating, kneading,
slowly bringing me
to the desired temperature.

Once over ...
all over.
Taking little,
giving much.

A gentleness that
takes me to the rim ...
not beyond.
Not yet.

You play.
You stay.
You delight me
in every way.

I am rising to your touch.
Warming to the heat.
Suddenly more fervent gestures
stimulate me to peak.

Rising, falling.
Rising again.
Lost amidst the
sweet surrender.

Wanting more.
Giving no less.
You return to places
already caressed.

Again, again ...
I sigh for the end.
It subsides,
but returns,
like the waves with the tide.

Covering me again
in your power,
you bring me to completion.
Then you hold me close
and start over again.

Marge,
You had some lines that just sang,
The paint was great and my bell rang. *L*

Didn't I tell you she exposes her love life to the world? Marge, is there anything you're holding back from us? This poem was almost expicit but quite exquisite.

Well, call me MichaelAngelo.
I'll even act like Picasso.
Around your flagpole I will rally
If you ever want to Dali!

Marge, this is quite a poem! Very stimulating to the, er, mind! Well done.

Why, friends.  Thank you so very much for enjoying a rendering of the simple task of making HOMEMADE BREAD AND YEAST ROLLS !
Mixing, kneading, letting rise, kneading again, covering to rise ... shaped again,
completed by the baking ... then enjoyed
again.

Whatever were you thinking?  
Ah, the minds of poets !
Words take us where we let them, don't they?

Or maybe, just maybe
a sculptor working his clay.
Shaping and molding ...
never quite content.
Wondering, as he dampens
the cloth and covers it each night,
if it will respond to his kneading
touch on the next round.
The clay cries out ...
make me ...
bring me to completion.
Make me ... bake me.
The sculptor does ...
and then slides his hands
once more over the piece ...
both of them content at last.

*Could be !

Marge, you are such a tease--bread...I don't think so, but if that's what you want us to believe....I loved the poem which ever way it reads.

Dear me, and poor me thought you were talking about eating chocolate!!! Sigh - and it was mere bread...

Care for Vienna sausage, Marge?



Great writing, my friend!

Marge is so completely free
I wish she lived next door to me
I'd laugh my head off every day
With stories of her potter's clay
