Flame of Flickering Femininity

Playing with fire …. :-)

Flame of Flickering Femininity

Tis’ your mystical mesmerising

Flame of flickering femininity

That draws me dangerously near

To your dancing darting radiance

I am but a hapless lepidoptera

Besotted by your burning brilliance

Unconscious of my now singed wings

Fluttering next to ignited infatuation

Burnt cherry coloured pouting lips

Smelts smouldering wick to blaze

And erogenous sizzling pheromones

Add intoxicating charismatic allure

It is impossible to cease succumbing

To the nakedness of your incandesce

Thus I surrender my heart’s essence

Impetuously Into your waiting inferno

Well, that was a mouthful. (smile) Lepidoptera eh? My money is on the moth; drawn to flame and all that sort of myth. Actually, the poor moth just can't navigate when the light source is so close. But that might apply to men and women too, you know, they get so close and the navigation system just goes haywire. The flaming chick reminds of Hellboy's girlfriend, "You should be running"...I enjoyed the description employed in the piece. Interesting and hot to say the least.

Hey - thanks for your great review - glad you liked the write :-)

[barleygirl]

Definitely one of your best poems that I’ve read lately. I love your artfully-crafted lines loaded with alliteration & other word play. I love the teasing playfulness of your imagery. I love your command of vocabulary, selecting sophisticated words & sometimes tweaking playfully as needed. Love the way your message straddles the imagery of human desires mixed with otherworldly entities such as insects. It all works together for maximum originality! (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie

A myriad of thanks for your raving review - bless you .. :-)

[Crowley]

That kind of inferno is a good thing right? Lol....this had a fantastic zing an rhythm and that flame is indeed a force to be reckoned with. But what a ride it is....loved this tour de force of vocabulary and pacing. Nice work!

[Phill Oz O'fee]

Great review - thank you so much! :-)

[emmajoy]

What is so infuriating is - that apart from the first line, your spelling, punctuation and intentions is and are near perfect, Plus, you're postiviely travelling into another sphere of writing, probably akin to moon madness, Phill!

[Phill Oz O'fee]

Moon madness - so that's what it is! Thanks for the brilliant review (must spell check my writes) :-)

[Weeping willow]

The beauty within a fire that temps and trances- the beautiful colours that create such a burning desire of heat and cool hues- entertaining the dances of life- through the fire refinement comes- wonderful words🌹

You sure seem to be on fire Phill. ....Heheh.. I think I need a dictionary... ;)

I love the closing line hearts essence and waiting inferno.... kind of reads like a Roman ancient love poem.... with lots of fire and burning involved ... hot ... oooh.. out of oven ...

[Phill Oz O'fee]
