Flutter Me Flutter

The bird of my heart begins to flutter,
and the breeze of my soul is blowing free.
Velvet dahlias drink the morning dew
sweetly warmed by the first auroral hue.
Sirocco's wings brush against the shutters.
Awake! Arise! Love is a naked sea.

Yes! I said that love is a naked sea!
Doesn't it just make you all a flutter?
Come! Arise and tear open the shutters.
The singing breath of morn is breaking free.
Iris is wearing her decadent hue,
drinking sweet the cup of midsummer dew.

A pillow of roses is kissed by dew,
a silky-soft stay for the salient sea -
the sea of my love and its honey hue.
Your tongue to its tip; my heartbeats flutter.
Your hands on my body, and I am free!
The world disappears beyond the shutters.

But, O! What a world within the shutters!
Where the storms of bliss coalesce with dew
in the slit of sex sweet flowering free.
Bacchante beckons from her warm, wet sea.
Her hair glistening gold in a flutter
shimmering waves of a succulent hue.

And who could resist the unyielding hue
that kisses the walls behind the shutters,
kissing open thighs - a tongue, a flutter
until the mossy jewel drips with dew?
My love! Drown me in this prurient sea
strumming the sweet love notes to set me free!

My Lord! Open your eyes and set me free
that I might drown in their transporting hue.
Only by drowning can I cross the sea -
the sea that sweetens behind closed shutters.
Rouse my lips with pearls of moist carnal dew.
Impart passion like wind to a flutter.

So flutter me flutter and flutter free.
Drink down the dew of a flowery hue,
and open the shutters that block the sea.

Oh! I do LOVE the Sestina! One of mine was quite heavy-philosophical, the other quite tongue-in-cheek, like Kipling's "Sestina of the Tramp-Royale". But I've never before seen a sensual Sestina! And you've inserted a new twist, with pairs of your endwords that rhyme, from time to time a couplet will spring up, unforeseen!
Certain lines leap to the fore, either for their sheer beauty, or their exquisite craft. Loved, "The world disappears, beyond the shutters", and, " a silky-soft stay for the salient Sea"; alliteration is among my most-favored devices. And, "The bird of my Heart...(and) the breeze of my Soul" are very evocative lines!
Would but that more of today's generation would see the beauty they COULD create, if they were only willing, and WOULD! (See my Bio-sketch!)

The imagery in this poem is beautiful. In particular, there are quite a few references to the sea.

As a theme, it reads as if the writer is describing the awakening of a woman's desire. And she does this so eloquently.

"Your hands on my body, and I am free!" This line almost breathes emotion!


Another nice write, Linda.

oh dear friend you are singing to me today
what lovely melody..i feel nothing
nothing but your sweet words
where you bring all the sweetness
you drown you say and i drown with you
till you are set free but i am prisoner to you
to your words,you can grab me for days
such sweetness i can never resist
