Swells~

~dipped in inverted scripture~

Obsidian pupils dilate

malachite orbs

slivered

slender rings

rapturous slice

fragmented

undulating

wrists

ankles

sing with bells

predatory hips

surge

swells of silk

oscillate

drum beats

surge

travel muscles

expose

ruby tongue

trill crescendo

in arch

burgundy wine on a tabletop

betrayal like musk

in the auditorium

her perfume lean

heady

she whispers

to the angel

broken down by age

“bring me the head of John the Baptist”

what was he to do

confronted so, by the glory

of original sin

I love the way this ended. I'm not sure what to take from this, or how to read it... Too many different angles (not a bad thing). It has this classic/new age feel to me... Like somehow you made the old and the new to become some super-hybrid (feeling). I definitely enjoyed reading this (but then, who couldn't?).

This is indeed sinful;)

'predatory hips' - excellent
'surge' - is a great word
'wine' - is an excellent muse
ahh, 'original sin' - so beautiful

[Lachenille Papillion]

I know I'm reviewing backwards, but trust me I read them originally in the right order... You bring everything alive to all the senses of your readers... vibrant and thrilling in the nuance that is only you...

[Alicante lullaby]

your words unwhorl into patterns never before seen....

[MuSe Ampoule]

Fantastic write! Love the images and quick flow...all accumulating to a smashing end.

rowrrrrrrrr.....it all seems so justified, then morning comes and justifications turn to stone, and I really need to brush my teeth. Beautiful work.

Rock and senses..
Nicely arranged
Hard and soft
Invisible and seen.

Flesh and arousal
Scent and sound
Lust...begining to end
Glorious wages of sin.

Loved every line...

as always, a galloping journey of lust and longing: you really know the art of seduction by words ..

'original sin' be damned, this is enough to turn a head or three ..

[Linda Marie Van Tassell]

“Obsidian pupils dilates” – should be “dilate”

Women have seduced men to do some of the most heinous things, and what a man is willing to do for a wink, a nod, and a dance of desire! Poor Salome! In Hebrew, her name means “peace,” but peace is definitely not her enduring legacy. No!
