Love Sonnet IX

Love Sonnet IX

 

 

Your skin is Earth tone,

deep brown, fertile

with flowering life,

the fragrance of pine

 

and Mahagony-filled mountains.

Oak and Sycamore take root in your breasts,

as your mouth breathes in summer rain

and exhales oceans of

 

whale songs sung in

worldwide symphonies

that burst with blue-green mist.

 

Love, my fingers move through

your natural hair, as

my mouth devours you in poetry.

What a lovely and natural depiction of love as appreciation and sensuality. Love Cohen, too. Great job on this. I enjoyed the read.

very moving Sir Red! wonderful imagery .. when i read the line with blue green mist my head leaped ahead to mint instead :) .. noticed i misread and went back .. all the more delicious .. a delicate, classy, sensual grasp on Mother Nature and what must be a very beautiful woman .. thanks for sharing!

Thank you so much for your visit and comment. It's interesting how we often do this, our mind reading ahead only to find that we have "misread". I do this all the time. And it often does change the meaning you get from the poem. Your leap to "mint" is a fascinating take on that line, one that I appreciated, as it gave a taste to the music.

Thanks again and I am happy to see you are still here.

My, my, my! Is it too early to be swooning? Between your rousing verses and Leonard Cohen's electrifying performance, my heart is palpitating like a baby bird fallen from its nest. So smooth, so polished. This sonnet exudes passion in overwhelming proportions, leaving me lost in the aimless wandering of devouring poetry. What articulation! Thank you for the delectation, my friend! Love this!!

Kelly, you can devour my poetry anytime... er... I mean swoon... er... see what you went and did, done, made me blush and saying things out loud. ;0)

Strange, but this morning while out for a walk, I found a baby bird. I brought it home, we drank some coffee, talked, and read poetry. After a while. the young bird got up and flew away. It was quite the morning!!

Kelly, I am thrilled by your visits and your comments!!

Now, that's a very strange coincidence about the baby bird!! We must be connecting on some crest of an electromagnetic wave, huh? Lol, see what I did there, trying to impress you with my review? ; ) Good day, my friend!
