for today and for always

artwork by Konstatin Razumov

from the moment
the burning tongue of dawn
licks the sky
        i hunger for your touch
when red arrows of dusk
pierce through clouds
      i crave your kiss
the musky breeze whispers
to enflamed palm fronds
an inferno is sparked
     and so the yearning continues
naughty stars of night
incite passion
my soliloquy is never - changing
mon amour, pour aujourd'hui et pour toujours

Beautiful picture followed by passionate and wonderful poetry - the whole ended with the most glorious French phrase!

'i hunger for your touch
when red arrows of dusk
pierce through '

Those words epitomize love in its deepest, most faithful and sincere way. Glorious writing!

You create the most striking love poems - romance seems to run in your blood, Lydi. Once more the enchantment of your words takes your readers away on a magic carpet ride of passionate desire. Bravo!

[Girl Friday (Sarah W.)]

naughty stars of night
incite passion
my soliloquy is never - changing -- love these lines...

This was quite emotional, as well as being seductively erotic in an extremely tasteful way. You write of pleasure and yearning, and it feels so very real to me; I can completley relate. Lovely writing, my friend.

[Lydia Shutter]

So pleased you can relate, Sarah. Thank you for the lovely review. Lydi**

[David Scott]

Mesmerizing picture and a poem to match...
You leave enough to the imagination, but no doubt of the desire and the promise.
It is a gift for the lover to receive as the writing is a gift for the reader to enjoy.
Classy gal!!!

[Lydia Shutter]

WOW, thank you so much, David. I do like to leave a lot ot the imagination when I write sensual poetry. I appreciate the fact you noticed that. Hope you are enjoying the weekend. lydi**
