i shall return

the night wears a negligee of silk
draped over her curves
her radiant stars twinkling
in all the right places
certainly you are drawn to her
she reaches out to you
through crevices of desire
spreading her luxuriant sensuality
into your most secret dreams
she cradles a special message
bathe in her glistening essence
feed on her words
for i am the one who sent her 
                      je renverrai mon amour

This poem is packed with your usual flowing coaxing allure (with word choices I admire) . . . and then the last 4 lines send me on a different tangent . . . especially your last line, it piques such a plethora of ideas tumbling forth! Hope you're enjoying the autumn vibes! (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie

Oh, Margie, this one is five years old! I wrote it in summer and really anytime is right for a romantic/sensual write if you ask me! :) Thanks so much for the visit and the review. Lydi**

I love it when an old one is stirred into the newsfeed mix! *smile*

[Lydia Shutter]

Me too! It makes the words brand new again.

There is a certain sense of sublime beauty mixed with delicate texture in this one. The imagery is good, and even though there isn't a ton of it, what you do have is quite dramatic. I especially enjoyed the ending...a nice touch. If only we could infuse ourselves into our lovers dreams with consistent purpose... Nicely written.

[Lydia Shutter]

I appreciate your review, Sarah. Lydi**

If anything can ignite passion in the heat of an August night, it is the vocation of your words, Lydi!

Sensuality lingers in this write...down the lines...I wanted more...but left with my imagination to keep writing the verse... myself in my head...

[Lydia Shutter]

I try to leave a lot to the imagination when I write sensual poetry. That way the reader can paint a bit of the picture her/himself. Thanks for the comments. Lydi**

[Glen Yumang Manese]

You're welcome...I read so many...here...at times the themes get to be the same...and when you find one with interest you want to keep reading...some I understand you want to just pass by...but give a reflective to the writer their presence is known...

[Babe Roxx]

Magnifique, Madame Lydi...I love how you use the negligee...you always beat me to the words I want to use, at time...your sensual lines are always sizzling. :)

[Lydia Shutter]

I like the personification of the night..so sensual too. I like the idea of the night sending her love..
how many people have sat under the sky and made star-wishes? This is like those wishes coming to life..
well done.

[Lydia Shutter]

Thank you so much! Lydi**

What extravagant beauty in the personification of night... of the essence of love and sensuality moving through the soft, sweet darkness.. sending all your love... This makes the world seem so alive with bliss. Makes me wish that night would never end.

[Lydia Shutter]

It's the sort of night we all fantasize about! Thank you so much, Craig. Lydi**
