Description
i cannot forgetthe taste of red wine upon
your crimson-stained lips
leaning close, smelling perfume
your smooth skin touches my nose
sensing a shudder
hands placed upon your shoulders
you melt into me
sweeping hands across your form
only melts me in return
soft folds of satin
slide from your shoulders and fall
onto the carpet
eyes of a voyeur behold
your feminine artistry
skin caressing skin
gazing into my eyes your
body moves with mine
heaven above could not match
memories of making love
the sound of my name
becomes a languid drawl through
a satisfied smile
i grin as you drift to sleep
holding an angel tonight

Poor Lindsay. They are overworking you, dear.

It occurs to me that you must have the world's greatest self-control. You can remember moments like these with touching clarity, yet still remain faithful to your lost love. Do immortals take cold showers?

Oh, dear Denise. . .
There is a reason he has the tattoo upon his arm, remember?
Cold showers, yes. Long walks. Alcohol. Beating one's head against their desk. I hate my life during those moments when a very willing, very attractive female stands before me with her lips practically dancing upon mine. Life was much easier when I was the cad who permitted himself these affairs.
Why the torture, then?
Because even in my memories. . . she is still the most captivating sight to behold. Pleasure mixed with pain, said the masochist. Then he laid upon his bed, praying she would visit him in his dreams.

Pleasure mixed with pain... My Lydia said that once too. I don't put much stock in her opinion, so be wary of this one. I'm glad you are going to stop praying and start acting.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well, pain is the only way I can relive the pleasure. The double-edged sword, if you will.
Her memory is worth all of the pain. Now, if only she would come save me from myself.

Poems come, gifts of Grace
profligate as red roses
twining up a white trellis.
Wonderful....just...wonderful.

Thank you, dear Leonie. I appreciate the favorite as well from such a discerning eye.

Ever the constant gardener am I.
Poetry is not one of my fortes. I used to write it when I was a child, but left it...::laughs::as I have done so many things. Most probably for the better.

Well, you are a very talented wordsmith. I've no doubt you could pen enjoyable lines of verse.
Either way, the fact that a fan of such talented poets (I am still quite infatuated with Pablo Neruda's poetry) shows deference toward my work is humbling.

You are most certainly welcome to it. Assuredly, I am not the first man to assemble those words within a statement in that order.
Thank you, Kellsie-Reanne.
