My California King

My California King

 

 

morning breaks,

sunlight peers

through vertical blinds

you lie warm

and sleeping

in my California king

i sip from a french roast

voyeuristically immersed

in the rippled effect

of sheets

wrapped  sinuously around

the southern proximity

of my California king.

Well done with a sensual double entendre woven into the piece. I enjoyed the read.

[Kelly Scheppers]

I believe this was my first double entendre. Thank you for taking notice!

[Dave]

Kelly - I love this poem. I love the way you cleverly made the connection between your California bed and your man. The build up to it was so subtle bringing all the descriptive details into play.

Take care - Dave

[Kelly Scheppers]

So good to see you, Dave. Thank you for the kindness your words bring me today!

[Dave]

Glad to be here, especially to be able to read you.
Take care - Dave

I've got vertical blinds all through my home. Never would have thought they'd sound so chic! Happy 4th, my good man!

This is utterly delicious & delightful, the way you do a play on words “California King” – both the bed & the man. Your approach is purposefully slow & enticing, which I love. Tons of sensual imagery to decorate the perimeter of your playful waking romp! *smile* Fondly, Margie

[Kelly Scheppers]

I think it's pretty cool that you're the only one that mentioned the double play on "California King". Thumbs up and many thanks, Margie!

Now you are tuned, the poetic eyes siings into my atmosphere, stunned, awed I beg for more.

This is definitely the sweet side of sensuality, isn't it? Welcome home!

[Ted Kniffen]

A great glimpse of early morning wordplay on and with your California king. Sensuous and subtly suggestive but not overtly sexual. Well done.

Good write Kelly

[Kelly Scheppers]

Thank you, Ted. Good seeing you!

[Crowley]

Great word play....a very relaxingly erotic look at what should be every morning! You took a quality of light and texture and paired it with perfect pace and came out with something very amazing. Great work!

[Kelly Scheppers]

Much appreciated. Thank you so much, Crowley!

[AYVID N]

A very sensuous, luxurious feel to a morning, created by your words. Big beautiful beds are to die for and more so if shared with that special someone. ⚘

[Kelly Scheppers]

I totally agree...go big or go home...or, go to bed! Best wishes and many thanks, Divya!
