Goodnight

art by Richard Johnson “Casimere”

Conversation bends at the waist
sleepy eyes drink in love brewed with desire
amazing how well your arms feed my sensuality
allowing it to blossom
                         but the truth is.... 
my morning caffeine has eloped
with things better left unsaid
        do you see them?
impenetrable curves of night

enter the picture perfectly
yet this edgy poem screams to be scribbled
before slumber has her way with me
kissing dreams of you goodnight

Ah...i felt this poem take over me just like the slow..smoky..lingering sleep you describe here. the images are so breathtaking...from the morning caffeine eloping to the "impenetrable curves of night". the slumber must wait next time until poetry has done its job, lol. Another masterpiece from you, my friend.

Sanober, I have run out of ways to thank you, dear friend. You are a special lady. Lydi**

the lines:
"conversation bends at the waist"
and
"amazing how well your arms feed my sensuality
allowing it to blossom"
are pure magic, and the whole poem is quite enigmatic and leaves me making scenarios as to what the wider frame might be. Intriguing and whimsical, really good write!

[Lydia Shutter]

Mysterious is a good thing I think.....I want the reader to think. Whatever scenarios you concoct are valid. Thank you so much, Joie! Lydi**

[Joiedevivre]

yes, it is, from my point of view very good in poetry and not always easy to achieve, so bravo :)

[Joyce S. Greene]

[Lydia Shutter]

Thanks so much, Joyce. Lydi**

The spirit is willing but the flesh is weak, perhaps an idea to top on the caffeine and see what enfolds, after all, the night is young ??

A dreamily, suggestive, poetic peruse !

[Lydia Shutter]

[John Alexander McFadyen]

This still has me thinking. I cannot place it. It feels like either an erotic fantasy or the some sensuality of being close to the skin of the person you love?

[Lydia Shutter]

A fantasy.....one that I will write more about another time for sure. Thanks, John. Lydi**

[Diana]

Tantalizing words. Just plain tantalizing.
