Midnight Ink

 

 

midnight through venetian blinds

 

the city murmurs below 

 

your bed of satin dreams

 

a red candlelit shrine

 

our naked prelude 

 

my fingertips trace your spine 

 

 

slowly  ...

 

 

caressing each moment

 

a velvet whisper

 

you lean into me

 

and a sliver of light

 

catches my breath

 

prismatic 

 

radiant  

 

a cascade of midnight ink 

 

flowing through your eyes

 

ethereal

 

indelible

 

bliss ~

[Zoe Jay]

Vivid from the outset. "Midnight through venetian blinds" sets the tone perfectly - atmospheric, romantic, urban, a juxtaposition of simple nature and simple utilitarianism. Soft, breathy sounds throughout capture the feel, plenty of sibilance and short syllables capture the soft, intimate, growing excitement, we feel you close, your breath starting to accelerate, softly, with excitement... the tension is built beautifully, but delicately in this poem, it has loads of feel. This is a poem about anticipation, and the reader feels it ;-)

Wow... just felt a delicious shiver down my spine. Now that doesn't happen often, when merely reading a poetic description.

this is soft and intense...arousing yet calming....very well done.

[Siddhartha]

This is minimalist and uber sensual....Impassioned with the heat of fire...

Full of passion and fire... but calming, somehow. I don't know if there's a deeper meaning behind "midnight ink".. if it's something beyond the ideas sparked by the night, but it all makes sense to me as it is.

"A sliver of light
catches my breath"

...i love those lines.

Beautiful!
