Friday Nights and You

never too tired for some things!

so sleepy
almost too sleepy
to support the blue in my eyes
                         and yet
taking a deep breath
i exhale thoughts of you
till my skin borders on yours
                 and each letter of every word i type
                            is a stroke of your hand on special places
a tingle
                  having nothing to do with a yawn
escapes my lips
i breathe you
now as night pulls its curtain over the blue of the sky
i crawl into that special place
the one in the crook of your arm
undressing my primal desire
for friday nights and you

Been too long since I read a Friday night poem .. and boy, did I miss it! As always the deep romance, wild anticipation and tender sensuality in your words gets me every time. So, so good. I always end up reading your poems a couple of times to enjoy the sensation of your words. :)

dear Lydi... Art and romance dance in a bed of
expectations when lovers entwine among the
orchestrated strings of passion.
The Blue Danube waltz of butterflies touches
all my senses when reading your poetry.
truly... Pat

Lydi... after five years... our poetry site brought up your poem "Friday nights and you". It is as fresh and
sensual as the New Moon. truly, Pat

[Lydia Shutter]

Thank you, my friend! Lydi**

The innuendo and sensuality in your poem, that "tingle", makes every night a"Friday" Lydi. But, ah, er... how can I ever type words again without getting slapped??? I mean... wait I know: type, duck, type type, duck, duck and duck again.. it might take me awhile to finish this review Lydi... duck!! Honestly Lydi, and I was going to tell you what a "nice" poem this is.. lol... ;0)

[Lydia Shutter]

No need to duck and avoid here, Curt....my words can take you where you choose.....I can not control that, can I? :) Thanks for the "nice" review....always pleased when you visit my page. Lydi**

[redzone]

thanks Lydi, I was worried there for a nano second... lol

[Beccy]

This is lovely, and those three first lines are just so perfectly composed. Every night should be such, not just Fridays.

Beccy.

[Lydia Shutter]

Thanks, Beccy. Lydi**

Ahhh . . . Those Friday nights . . . Life is good when we can fulfill our desires and this Friday night scenario is but one of the reasons why that is. Your words were magical to the point I was physically there on that Friday night.

[Lydia Shutter]

Thanks so much. Lydi**

[Jeannette Lunete]

You created an outrageously magnificent piece of art. I enjoyed it to the very end. Well done. :)

[Lydia Shutter]

Thank you, Jeannette. Lydi**

[MsJewel]

Oh Lydi...your words are so soft and sensual, written with the elegance that is you my friend. I love, "I exhale thoughts of you" - absolutely charming. Another Friday night masterpiece :) Julie
