my skin remembers

it's friday night!

my skin remembers

the electrified intimacy

soft as velvet yet wielding an unrivaled intensity

yesterday was blurry

tomorrow was a naked page

and that day, well, that day was a flower blooming

a peach ripening to its juicy best

yes, my skin remembers

it’s true…. from this standpoint of long ago

and so very far away

                even behind my foster grants

the memory continues to electrify

Sometimes I close my eyes and go back to a memory. It can feel as though I'm there; sensations, smells, old thoughts. I like how you described the intensity of a memory. Just like a peach

Tempting, beautiful and wonderful poetry.
"soft as velvet yet wielding an unrivaled intensity

The above lines are so good. Imagination and building of want make the place of touch and kiss. Alive and filled with positive energy. Thank you Lydia for sharing the amazing poetry.

dear Lydi.. that would've me behind my foster grants...
Love the art... The haircut ... In auburn and magenta black.
Electrified intimacy... soft as velvet yet wielding on
unrivaled intensity...
That day was a flower blooming ...
a peach ripening to its juicy best
Nature unfolds in waves of ecstasy
truly, Pat

Lydia, this was just absolutely lovely. Beautifully written. Thank you for sending this over for me to take a look at.

[Lydia Shutter]

Neal, I don't send read requests so someone else sent it to you...perhaps Ana. In any case, I do appreciate the time you took to read and then review my words. Lydi**

[Neal S]

My mistake. I'm still trying to grasp how the site works totally.

[Lydia Shutter]

No matter....you read the poem and that is what counts! :)

[Lorry]

Yep, what Papaya says. :)
You end on the perfect word to describe the whole piece Lydi, your words and the memories they induce electrify. Would like to say more, but I'm getting static shocks jumping out of the screen. :)
ps....Thanks to Papaya Ana for sending me the read request on this superb piece also.

[Lydia Shutter]

WOW, Ana sent you a read request on this? That is the ultimate compliment! I appreciate your review and her friendship! Lydi**

[Lorry]

Oh, she knows talent when she sees it :)

[Papaya]

Lydia, you are the ultimate romantic poetess.

Quite the compliment, Ana. Thank you so much. Lydi**

[Lydia Shutter]

Nemo just told me you sent him a read request for my poem. Ana, that is amazing! Thank you so very much.

[Papaya]

You're welcome Lydi! :)

love "tomorrow was a naked page"

as if foreseen that the skin will remember tomorrow's intimacy---

a memory that never stops and will still be there for many tomorrows.

We all need memories like that. Thanks so much, Jacob. Lydi**
