even more

artwork by talantbek chekirov

you recline in the unmade bed
watching me 
in the lusty light of morning
the air conditioner hums
whilst i’m moist with passion’s dew
the dizziness of the day must begin
time for the costume of life 
to cover my nakedness

four breaths ago you stroked my skin
turning it into satin
making me love you
want you 
even more

The gently sensuous ambiance begins with line one and simmers slowly thru the last word leaving the roaring passions of "four breaths ago" to the beauty of our imaginations. Love it! And the accompanying artwork is icing on a very delicious cake. 100/100

WOW, BJ, thanks so much. Lydi**

[B J Hughes]

Your welcome Lydi! Uh, if there's any left, could I have seconds on some of that cake?? :o)

[Lydia Shutter]

A good deal of my poetry is sensual in nature...it is the genre I enjoy writing most.

[B J Hughes]

Aye! Words from a tactile heart so eloquently plied. I"m finding much learning in your writing.

[Lydia Shutter]

Thank you!

[Ruth]

Such a sensual pause to life and a gentle visual of the important things in life, beautiful Lydi :)

We all wear costumes...different ones for different situations in life. Thank you for your review, Jacob. I appreciate it. Lydi**

aaah Lydi, those wonderful eyes that see you, morning eyes full of a new days passion.. the sensuousness of your words awakens our desires (real or remembered) for mornings like this.. You leave us breathless and "moist" with "want" and passion.. this is way past "nice" Lydi..

now get back in that unmade bed and tear him to pieces.. er.. hmmm I know, the new days begins, but life is short and what better way to begin it, at least until noon!!! ;0) I love your poetry Lydi you know some of us live vicariously through your words, right??!!

[Lydia Shutter]

No, I didn't know that.....but it is a compliment, Curt. Tear him to pieces, eh? LOL You are too much. Thanks for the great review. Lydi**

[redzone]

it's true cause your poetry makes us FEEL and in this sense we live through your words, through the fantasy and imagination you give to us... it is what distinguishes just words from poetry/art... so I came across that word "vicarious" and just had to use it in some way and your poem was the perfect release!!! lol so, now you know!!

[Lydia Shutter]

Indeed, now I know! Was vicarious your word of the day? :)

[Jibey]

A lovely cameo of morning awakening after love's labours... 'moist with passion's dew' - yes, how damp the sheets can be... or better, the air, with a slow revolving fan in the roof sending cooling drafts over a lover's nakedness... 'stroked' and 'turned into satin'... yes, though I must say, the satin may be how it feels at the first, as the moments of pleasure unfold...and arousal drives desire.

[Lydia Shutter]

I appreciate your review. Lydia

[A hare off]

I'm not sure how but it seems each poem of yours I read is better than the last. Your eyes see love in the most beautiful way and now so do we through your words. This was lovely.

[Lydia Shutter]

You flatter me so. I have a romantic soul and a romantic imagination. Thank you, my friend. Lydi**

[Dara]

Overflowing with sensuality and tenderness this poem sets the tone for lovers everywhere. Those were the days. Simply breathtaking!

[Lydia Shutter]

Thank you so much, Dara...those were the days indeed. Lydi**

[Jimmy Yetts]

Each time, Lydi, you choose to share an elegant sensual moment--
or lovely fantasy--I somehow manage to enjoy it
even more.
Work that radiates allure, gifted poetess!

[Lydia Shutter]

"Even more" :) Thanks so much, Jimmy. Lydi**

[David Scott]

I always get a little shiver when you write your sensual poetry. This is so realistic and believable. There is no fantasy here. This is real and classy... This is elegant sensual surrender.
Perfect!

[Lydia Shutter]

A shiver is a good thing when reading sensual poetry! Thanks so much, David. Lydi**

[David Scott]

Indeed it is... I didn't think to clarify. ;)
