Whilst reading poetry

A prolonged, radiant visit..

Whilst reading poetry.

I sit here pleasantly, during a stormy midnight,

Allured by the pages, softly glistering, softly melting,

Between my fingertips under the mellow lamplight,

Satin pages slip and fall teasingly, one by one,

And I arrantly consumed, watch your silken gaze,

Upon my forbidden, secretive touch.

With every pinch upon the tuning pages,

I sense your lips, your smile, floating aimlessly,

On my blushing, shy ridden face,

With every line that I repeat yearningly,

A mischievous tickle embellishes my core.

With every new poem I wallow in,

Your hands cloak my exposed vulnerability,

How shall I ever resist my instinct?

How shall I ever resist my mind?

When forever you linger, with hushed tones,

Waiting patiently, courteously, irresistibly,

For a new poem to be whispered,

Every night.

Hope you like my work :)

Goodness, Kajal!
Amazingly and skillfully creative, alluringly irresistible, with sensually-sweet metaphor, caressing imagery, and word-choices whispering from in-between every line to, "Come!"
One's senses cannot help being enticed into your moment's affirmation that I should, that every reader with an ounce of blood pumping their veins, must!
This is not only beautifully rendered, Dear Poetess … the vivid ambiance of it's breath virtually rises up off the page to flow through every fiber.
This is one of (if not the) most gently luring poems of sensual sheer brilliance I've ever experienced the delightful pleasure of being pleasured by, and I think it only hints at what lies deeper. ; )

One might easily be led to read this piece literally, completely missing the deeper, sweetly-stirring jewels of radiant enthrallment.
I dearly love it, Kajal … what else, except but to gift my warmest touch of grateful thanks! ⁓ Richard


(excuse me, please, while i turn-on the fan and enjoy another turn through your vividly-embracing imagination)

It could not be more pleasurable, Kajal … you are most sincerely welcome! : )

this can go two ways...imagining the lover as we read romantic poetry...or an interlude with the muse...and the hope that she or he will whisper a new poem to us, so that we will be inspired to write again.
i like the "old time" feel to this one.
