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**

The entrance of seduction
Is lined with colors of romance...
the dance of intimacy and time for
lingering and feeling the pulse of love...
not wanting to exit before dawn... truly,
a flower unfolding with petals of soft sensations. As ever, Pat

[Lydia Shutter]

Thank you very much, Pat. You are always a romantic! Lydi**

at one time, i feel this could have been written by Carly Simon about James Taylor...but it is a universal piece of how some lovers, even if just for a short time, complement each other so well...

and we hope we never find our way out of that maze.

Thanks so much, Jacob....you made me smile with this review. Lydi**

not sure Lydi, but I don't think there is an "exit"... sorry, but you are stuck there having to suffer his rainbow dreams, and those multicolored words and temptation's maze, which I am told is quite erotic…. but knowing you, I think it is he who might also be happy to be lost in this maze... exquisitely 'nice" Lydi, filled with seduction, rotating moons, secrets, I mean, WOW, who would want to find an exit.... not me that's for sure... ;0)

[Lydia Shutter]

Always a pleasure reading your reviews, Curt. Perhaps it is best to never find the exit. I appreciate your reviews very much...they are so "nice". :) Lydi**

It is hard to exit temptation doors, hard to not fill our desires and hard not to heed the voice of romance. Gorgeously written with wondrous artwork. You intimacy doth dance between pages.

[Lydia Shutter]

Thank you so much, Sami. Lydi**

You are welcome, Lydi...
