labyrinth

lost in the labyrinth of you

a prisoner in a system of passionately illuminated tunnels

and catacombs of sensuality

segments of your puzzle seduce me

as you gently slide each piece into provocative locales

a kaleidoscope of intimacies streaks into view

 

i breathe in the allure that is you

while cradled in the center of it all

veiled in a universe of almost surrealistic ecstasy

feeling more liberated than i ever dreamed possible

 

through your maze of temptation i continue

certain the exit is not my destination

my goal will not be reached

till I have cocooned deeply into your soul

"til I have cocooned deeply into your soul" ...
I feel as though I have been on a cruise to
exotic islands where soft winds blow and
passions flow. The taste of a persimmon
ripened by the sun. The most intimate
revelation to be savored. truly, Pat

Pat thank you very much for this lovely review. Lydi**

Lydi, Lydi, Lydi! I could write till I'm 80, and still never turn a phrase like the "catacombs of sensuality". The title alone had me salivating...then when I saw the graphic, I just lost my sanity! Of all the years we've been friends - and there are many - I have always walked away, having learned something from each of your pieces, and this is no exception.

There are a few poets here I truly idolize. I've never told you, but you are definitely at the top of the list. Thank you for being such an inspiration to me, and for making me want to be a better poet.

Now, I've got to add another word to my list, along with "crudite"! ; )


Many thanks & blessings,
Kelly

I am not sure how to tell you how much this review means to me, Kelly. We have been reading one another's poetry for over ten years....not sure how long really. To say I have taught you something, well, that makes my heart happy. You are a very talented poet yourself! Thank you, my friend....you made my day. Lydi**

'.. veiled in a universe of almost surrealistic ecstasy ~ feeling more liberated than i ever dreamed 'possible '

There's be far less bother, sadness, separation and divorce IF everyone could pen such scrumptious words! It's food for the plate and passion for the table. There's a strong but gentle touch of being where you want yet.. free to indulge in flights of... whatever! Sweet, ripe phrasing - as always... and.. wonderfully feminine..

You have a talent for writing some of the best erotic and romantic poems. I love reading your thoughts.

[Lydia Shutter]

It is my favorite genre. Thank you, Autumn. Lydi**

Write what you know, as they say. You're a very sexy woman.

[Lydia Shutter]

My hubby thinks so! :)

[Another Relic]

I assumed he would. He's a lucky guy. :)

This I find has more of an edge than I have seen before in your work. And that I find a pleasant thought. The romance and the wit are both there.

[Lydia Shutter]

Thanks so much, Ken. Lydi**

**sigh** what a way to be lost... within the catacombs of sensuality and surrealistic ecstay... seems you have reached your destination Lydi and love remaining in such a maze.... I enjoy thinking about a maze where you seek not an exit but rather a center where you can remain.... softly touching and romantically expressed Lydi and I bet at this center is also a "very nice" cocoon... wonderfully done Lydi...

This is such a journey of ecstasy, diving deeply into the waves of warmth that surround and sway the soul. Beautifully voiced, the thoughts wander like path into the dark depths of these surreal dreams we all long for.

[Lydia Shutter]

Thanks so much, Craig. Lydi**

I love a poem that has such a delicious sensuality about it. It just allows my colourful imagination to run all over and through it. This is so deeply romantic too which is the icing on the cake. Love... oh love...
Such a gift if we can find it.

[Lydia Shutter]

Indeed! Always a good thing when the reader can go places with my words. Thank you so much. Lydi**

[Papaya]

You're welcome!
