The Joy of Reading

I study you

I  devour you like a book

I interpret you in Braille

that tactile feel like fire and ice

your nuances seize my senses

like ice cream freezes the brain

You permeate my soul 

like a sultry breeze of Belize

I breathe you in like

 smoke filled vodka martini bars

intoxicating my thrill sensors to a frenzied shrill

dance me to your inner core of secret lust

make me a prisoner 

of all that  embodies you

wrap around me

 like a serpent seeking that last breath

when I cease to exhale, take me in again

I smoke you like a fine Cuban cigar 

lingering in the lungs

 and smarting the heart

when it's bad, it's oh so completely divine

let me feast

 from your body and spirit

I glory in every inch of your majestic beauty

I dine with gusto

 and lusty abandon

I drink in your essence, I taste you

lick my lips

 of your manliness 

savoring 

every

 last 

drop

 of

 you

This was very erotic. Certainly nothing like the books I read and I have a library! (laughing) I do love the smell of books, their weight in my hand, the adventures and places they take me to. On the shelf beside me sit copies of Ray Bradbury, Mark Twain, Emily Bronte', Charlotte Bronte' (I love those Bronte' women) Daphne du Maurier, Jack London, O Henry, F. Scott Fitzgerald and Rudyard Kipling...but the REAL library is in another room. This sounds more like "The Joy of Sex" by Alex Comfort...a book I've never got around to reading. I'm more of a transcendentalist in that respect. (laughing) This was an excellent steamy read.

Thanks, I figured you liked it cause you're rambling ;-)

[Fabian G. Franklin]

I'm not rambling but commenting more on the title than the content since one is misleading of the other.

[Frieda P]

that was the point my friend.

[SHEEMA HUQ]

i felt that this was highly imaginative in the way you have included so many differnet kinds of comparisions, and scenarios which I really enjoyed, thanks and I think that your stucturing is sophisicated too

[Frieda P]

Thanks so much, really appreciate that critique Sheema.

[SHEEMA HUQ]

You're welcome dear Frieda, infact I feel I should add that, each line consists of inviting manipulations, that are sumptuous and compelling, really great writing....

[Frieda P]

Woooo, now you're making my head spin... ;-)

[kublakhan27]

[kublakhan27]

A beautiful poem. A talented writer take the reader on a journey and open the door to their imagination. You did. Great description led the reader to a very nice ending. Thank you for sharing the excellent poem.

[jacob erin-cilberto]

i also really like how this was formatted and ended with that "last drop" of "you"!

[Frieda P]

Thanks for that jacob, been working on the formatting aspect, have never really done that before, whatever falls out of my face usually ends up here in it's original form.
