but tonight....

artwork by charmaine olivia

others said his sensuality seduced me

and my romantic moons rotated on his axis

oh yes!

i was his rainbow dream

he was my sip of champagne

my blank pages were suddenly filled with multicolored words

as his guitar played the secrets of my soul

electrified intimacy danced in the air between us

it was long ago and far away

but tonight... 

i find myself wandering through his maze of temptation

never wishing to find the exit

I love your unique mix of imagery taken from nature & also including human materialism. I’ve seen some sensual writers use high-end romantic props – even tho I say nice things, I truly get a little chafed at the way it sounds like a consumer’s guide to the bedroom. When you pick your gracefully detailed imagery, it never feels heavy on upper class trappings. You include your favorites in a way that shows us some of your scene or your preferences, but not to paint a particular “class” of people. This is one thing I find exceptionally sexy about your writing – it’s accessible to everyone (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie

This review means a lot to me. I always want the reader to bring his or her own images to the poetry. I try to keep my words innocent enough for anyone to read. The fact you see this makes me very happy. Thank you, Margie. Lydi**

Sort of like cross between a bob dylan and a doors song that would have been slipping off their tongue with expertise and raw emotions. Love the my romantic moons rotated on his axis part.

The spark flickered, out of control the mind was not by bothered the one who started it. ...never wanting it to end. But longed for heat to stay.

[Lydia Shutter]

Thanks very much, Rose. Lydi**

The twirl of mind and music, always a two handed courtship, Linda. Wonderful word play, neither too cool nor too hot - just a nice steady simmering and oh! , so very understandable. ' ..my blank pages were suddenly filled with multicolored words ~ as his guitar played the secrets of my soul '

[Lydia Shutter]

Thanks so much, Emma.....you do know my name is Lydia, not Linda, right? :) Lydi**

[emmajoy]

I am so terrible sorry. Mind's on rather a lot at the moment, LYDI

[Lydia Shutter]

Not a problem, Emma. We are all human.

What a beautiful, tantalizing set of images this conjours for me. I think the word gossamer suits my thoughts after reading this.

[Lydia Shutter]

I appreciate your review, Ken. Lydi**

This brings back memories of those days of youth when the world seemed to be in the palm of our hands and songs that were sung went straight to the heart. There is just something about a man who plays guitar especially if he wears his sensuality like tight fitting silk shirt. I just love how you share these special moments in time and capture their essence with an image that matches your words perfectly.

[Lydia Shutter]

Dara, I always appreciate your kind reviews. Thank you. Lydi**

"and my romantic moons rotated on his axis", what a wonderful line that is. Your poem is so sensual and that feeling of electricity really gets through to the reader. The artwork posted, carefully thought and matches your lines well. Very nicely composed.

Thank you

Chris

Great artwork (like an 80's album cover) - the wordplay plus stanza structure adds intensity and creativity to the write - really great read and share - loved it … :-)

[Lydia Shutter]

Thanks so much, Phill. I love finding just the right artwork to accompany my words. Lydi**
