Luxuria

Painting by Leonid Afremov

lost in the throws of a spanish fly inquisition of soulful lust seeking unification

searching

probing

wanting

needing

fantasizing

adjoining

an impatient queen bee lying in wait for the sweet, rich nectar of passion's forbidden syrup

golden waterfall of cascading hair washing over unclad skin

an overabundant harvest in the flowering fruit of ladened lips

fingers tracing venturous curves

parts pressed like fine wine

dreams of bodies juxtaposed in sensual flagrancy

raw passion begging and pleading for the climax of resolve

an eruption of spewing, hot, molten lava

collapsing lost in a heaving, panting, bosomed mountain pass of eternity spent

no takeback

no rescind

taunted and sinned

you have given us a typically good read with a painting from an accomplished artist
I'd never heard of him previously so I had a look see
I have recently tried getting a bit more abstract (art wise that is)
not as easy as it looks
altho I am a nobody, I find his work a bit too colorful, which for me detracts from the overall
However, this painting works well (for me) because the subject matter is large enough that the background isn't able to dominate, but using all that color is a difficult thing to control.
Oh ya!! I'm supposed to be reviewing your poem which I don't mean to dismiss, at least not while you are hanging on to that sword
Nice presentation Pete

thanks dave. i would have to agree with you on that. he is at the extreme of abstract but somehow he still makes it work. he's got a very cool way of doing it with interesting colors. saw the pic and thought it deserved a write ... :)

Beautiful artwork and tempting words shared Pete. I liked how you used the language. The poetry was colorful and meaningful. Thank you for sharing the outstanding poetry.
