Classic, classic L......... Where do I go with this? You are a perfect cup of coffee! Your words are so smooth and it just flows like silk. Your poetry is silk! It's so smooth and intelligent. I know your work from jump. You wouldn't even have to put your name on it. It would just pour onto my screen and I'd know!
Stripping you of the superficial garments that hide
~The man behind the mask
Lay your mind down for soothing, and rest
I am going to pour myself onto you like
Hot wax,
So that you can feel,
My fleshly
Intensity, and know I am real
The silkiness of my core
Will make your stature shriek,
Crying out to me, for more
I want to show
You,
my love,
just how I fit you, like a glove
Very soothing and hypnotic flow. You have a knack for massaging the words into your reader. Very nice write. The level of intimacy is matched by the beautiful language associated with this fine work.
enjoyed this one, very sensual and personal, has a great sense of voice, was slightly thrown off by the unconventional structure. interrupted the flow for me personally. great job though.
This is really amazing... truly a very romantic piece that just has left me breathless and speechless... I am in complete awe of this piece. Sorry I can't say anything more creative but you have me blown away.
This truely is "lyrical love"! It's funny, I've read it twice now and thought to myself, "this would be great if a woman read this aloud to me." Then I just saw your author's note saying just that, "try reading out loud". It's erotic yet sincere at the same time. The spacing and punctuation are a bit interesting and I think I understand why you did it this way, but this poem would likely stand completely on it's own in standard verse. I'm really surprised though at just how good it is.
My favorite lines:
Let me, undress you with my librettos
that will shield and clothe
Your vulnerabilities,
No one but I, will see (The way you describe this intamacy is amazing, reassuring and gently)
With my deepest
Feelings,
I'll enlighten your world with an elegant hue (After me you will see things differently)
And refinement of my cherished best (I have saved the best of me for you)
Stripping you of the superficial garments that hide
~The man behind the mask
Lay your mind down for soothing, and rest (Prepare your mind because the essense of me is about to melt onto you)
