ARCADIA

A poem about lust and the yearning of physical embrace.

ARCADIA

Lather me with honey

Boiled, in the thick of my shadows

Smell the sweet dew of my sod

As I, sanctify a sordid picture of carnality

Worship my language

Words beneath tongue

Conduct to a thousand symphonies

Dance with me below the moonlight

Let the languid movements sway you

I long to be under your petals

love, live, lie, lick

Leave me in your garden to grow

wow! sultry, smooth and intense .. i think L 5 & ^ are brilliant .. all the love making in the world done in an entanglement of perfect chosen words .. I love it! Well done says i! and "...the dew of my sod" .. oh my goodness, ... stunning in its raw earthiness ... and such a blatant naughty closing ... that is the woman every pubescent boy wanted to meet ... ;) "Arcadia" is electric

The first thing I felt in this poem was the smooth fluidity of the musicality. That is brilliant. It may have dropped in a couple of places, or I might have imagined it, but overall, the musicality is gorgeous! Your language stood out magnificently and wasn't afraid to shine. Sensual, sure, but just enough. You don't need the commas in Lines 3 and 5, as those lines form an entire continuous thought, and interspersing them with commas ruins that flow. But - wow! This is a keeper! Well done!

A very romantic and sensuous offering here, especially the last three lines. My glasses almost fogged over.

Lol thank you. I’m all about the imagery.

this is very good.. it's been awhile since I did any writing to speak of myself.. a friend of mine suggested I reconnect with myself while I am in lockdown for the virus.. I was thinking perhaps he's right.. I use to write at least one piece a week.. this is a good place.. I look forward to seeing more of your work..
