In Your Poetic Mind

0 posted 2002-02-09 09:26 AM



Your whispers linger,
dance with me again
here and now

Reflected in candle light
seduction entwines with the
silk touch of your fingers
drinking in soft lavender
skin

Enter my dreams,

Glissade your arms around
my waist, let me hold
close all your layers,
drawing together the edges
of fingers sliding together with mine ,
feeling your hand
across my back connecting
sensual skin to the deeper touch
of gentle passion

Man of soft ecstasy

Pleasure is midnight love
under moonlight as the misty
haze streams in
curtains of gold satin
from cloud tops

Xanadu

is love dancing
in your arms

Dance me again


Step through the
barrier of my mind,
enter my soul,
feel my desire,
let my eyes guide you
into the shadows
of my heart

====================================

your poetry is my Xanadu ...
a beautiful place I can escape too...
and this gem...there aint a line that I didnt feel. Sensually stunning.

You speak to me in riddles and you speak to me in rhymes.
My body aches to breathe your breath ... your words keep me alive.

Lauren,

This is truly lovely. To borrow a phrase from some of my friends, "This Rocks!"

. . . in Xanadu did Kubla Kahn a stately pleasure dome create. . .

and I know that this is what it was like. . . wonderfully done Lauren. . .

glissade in foxtrot
also looks good in a waltz
moving together

Fool, said my Muse to me, look in thy heart and write.

as usual, your writing leaves a sense of gentleness behind, even as it trails images across one's thoughts. beautifully done.
