Come To Me

Painting by Josephine Wall

Come to me in bare shadows of the night
Where feel of touch melts alabaster skin
Sending shivers down the spine of the dark
Igniting flames of desire raging brightly like the wic of the moon
Flowing upon rose petals of the ocean...

Come to me while I wait
As hands of the clock strike like a leather whip across the bed of seduction
And whispers of candlelight lurk like a raven
Waiting for the lavender gown of night to slip down the slender curves of temptation...

Come to me!

Come to me before the lantern of desire ignites in the waiting arms of another.

i don't know why but this part, "Igniting flames of desire raging brightly like the wic of the moon Flowing upon rose petals of the ocean" please don't ask the primitive man to explain nature in any sense of the word for he is as dumb as he looks he only knows beauty in it's purest form :D

Thank you ghoul for taking time to read and commenting...SyberRose

especially love the second stanza...this really has mood...and that is because of the expansive imagery you packed into such a short piece.

he should come to the speaker..candlelight is much more passionate than lantern light.

and the raven..always mysterious...and seldom used in poetry when referring to intimacy...i like how you did it here.

[Stella Armour]

lovely metaphors Rose, and beautiful seductive writing.This one is going into my library for further reading...

Nice to meet you, too. I don't come often to these websites as I am working on my latest book and have promised myself to limit the time spent at website rather than on the next chapter of my book.

[SyberRose]

I was just looking at your new book...it looks very interesting...Good luck with it and all your books.

"As hands of the clock strike like a leather whip across the bed of seduction
And whispers of candlelight lurk like a raven"

Two stunning images back-to-back, or perhaps face-to-face. I know I'll listen to the ticking of my watch a little differently for a while ...

[SyberRose]

I'm glad you like those leathery tick tock sounds ha...SyberRose

[Rita L. Sev]

This is quite a wild yet sensual read. Urgency, with a fear of the fleeting.. Nicely penned!

[SyberRose]

Thank you Rita...nice hearing from you tonight as always...SyberRose

The opening line has it and is so evocative, there are some really lovely night references, which gives this poem great atmosphere. I really liked it and enjoyed the read.

Okay Rose...now you realize you are beginning to raise the bar quite high for yourself don't you? You've got it going on girl. I'd like to highlight a favorite metaphor or 2 but I would just be copying the whole poem...penned like a hopeless romantic is the best I can do. I might need to have an icy beverage on hand when I open your poems from here on out. Nicely done... Quite a stylish sizzle ready for spontaneous combustion.

You are giving me the giggles now Harlon ha...I am happy you enjoyed Come to Me. thanks for peeking in again today...Rose
