She waited out of frame
until spark fell within
her pleasure,
then seeking her favor
and a word on which to hang,
I reckoned again
the balance of familiarity
between us

noting my own affection
for the unlikely

watching
as she, silver sleek
and tossed about my senses
until all was a blur
of dramatic proportion,
the breathless I love you’s
of a thousand urgent lips
capering scarlet
over yesterday’s desire,
and I, reclined
and reckoning myself
not so much sated
as restless with the dance,
eye shadowed each step
reflexively.

Measure rising
to seduction, a tablature
of sequined echoes
pause in drape of shoulder’s caress,
falling notes
here and there

as eye wishes to be hand
and I wish only
this dream of her
continue.

Damn.....
Duncan your writing is growing in leaps and bounds!!
This is utterly amazing...
I also love the part my sister Nightshade chose as well.
May I beg for more please?

Ya know Duncan, every line reads like a lullaby,
rocking back and forth so sweetly.

But I loved your title most of all!
It's good to see you getting off the porch, or is it that
you are spending more time there, in order to write this way?  (whatever)  
This is awful pretty, and makes me happy too, for you.

As the moth wishes she had your muse...

whoa...what an awesome write...
once again your vocabulary and phrasing rocks...( guess reading all those books at the same time is paying off) LOL


capering scarlet
over yesterday’s desire,



that will be the coolest line I'll read today.... awesome awesome personifi

a tablature
of sequined echoes
pause in drape of shoulder’s caress,


and that will be the close second...
both make me wish I had wrote this..yaya

your writing has indeed turned a corner...
very impressive style here...me likes.

hard to believe watching a Shakira video could inspire one so much..lmao

We believe the past could be undone...but time always reveals ...
the lonely light of morning...the wound that would not heal.

Duncan,

This is an amazing write, so full of longing mixed with the paradox of despair and hopefulness....and your language, really nice...~P

Delicate and powerful, all in one.

Just love those lines, wish i'd written them.

Ah yes.. me to.

I love this as you know, and next time?  Make the color purple, okay?
