White Linen and Black Lace

Contradictions in personalities that make people who they are.

 

White linen and black lace

Hidden together in an embrace

Inside my soul

Tightly held whole

Encapsulating all of me.

 

Lips whisper softly

Intoning ardently  

Never think you know

Everything of my tidal flow

Never turn your back on me.

 

An emotional melting pot

Needing cold, needing hot

Danger and safety.

 

Behold my devotion unwavering

Love all consuming

Always there with a shoulder

Cry your tears bolder

Keep trust in me.

 

Look now behind my white mask

And see my other side bask

Close to the black

Edge of the pack.

That was a very cool poem Beth. I loved how you used the lay
of the land to portray your poetry......smiles.
I really did like it though. You have a great talent for writing.
This should be in a classy magazine like Esquire

My favorite line was.......

"Never think you know
Everything of my tidal flow
Never turn your back on me."

Going into my fav's right now.
Thanks for sharing.

This is awesome. I think this poem is one of your best.

Your wording is just divine. I love how you told this how you covered the spectrum of possibility and consequence.

Lovely post, sensual and intense; I was captured by its imagery.

"Never think you know/ Everything of my tidal flow/ Never turn your back on me."-this echoed in my mind.

Under every mask lies the darkness of secrets, we present one side of us to the world and wait for someone who is brave enough to look under our mask to see the other side of who we are. Usually our passions are on the other side, basking in the darkness and waiting for one to find them. Excellent write~

wanting to be romanced to show you are appreciated and yet still wanting to be taken with unbridled passion so you can feel sexy and satisfied, nothing wrong with that... very passionately intense write.
