Poets Paired~

I approach in prints

Fingerprints in swirls

Press my patterns

Into your shoulder blades

Lotus tattoos illuminate the base of your skull

Where dreams breathe

On the nights when sanctuary displays through touch

Tracing spine trance

While

Lip prints in cupid bow

Complement the curve of your jaw

Dyeing your dimpled smile with blush

Languid and unhurried

While

Heart prints in resilient rhythm

Caress your rib’s cage

Compelling

Soul prints

In ink between your dancing fingers and mine

Playing cat’s cradle with a thousand words

You add your prints

Between us

There is poetry

[Lydia Blackwell]

This was a beautiful, sensual, intimate look at touching and how good it is for the soul. I am sure it could be taken in many different ways, but this is how I saw it. Intimacy does not always have to involve sex. It is a moment of recognition between two people. This was so so lovely. I really enjoyed reading it!

[Michael of Gilead]

I'm calling CSI, theres prints and DNA all over the place!

Beautiful, slow and sensual.....just as it should be

[My Fair Lady]

The dance of creativity is sensual and descriptive, just as you are.

"Between us
There is poetry",
A safe and sensual crousel spinning, this poem is...
Painted horses going round and round, up,and down
The stanzas, your readers ( including me,)
Grabing for the brass ring, grasping it, holding it
Close to our hearts, thankful for the free ride.

like dancing naked in a pool of ink...illustrating our own stories upon our skins

[Cafe Reader]

You are breath taking in the best of ways, our Selene.

[Rikkevi Rue]

mmm...starting as the smallest slightest tingle inside, yet a tingle of the soul, your warm and intimate thought embrace ripples outward along my avenues, buzzing up and down the lines like the first excited hint of a juicy rumor while slowly the radiating warmth from my heart spreads outwards like the heat from a good german firebox into the hearth and then the air of the room and eventually the whole house has an intimate sanguine glow...an eager animated child's face turns up and exclaims with eyes shining wonder, "Selene is here!"

Your poetry exudes the vitality of life...what more could I say?

[Marianne]

Breathtaking intimacy lingering between two souls entwined in unspoken words of unity....two becoming one in each other's poetic exixtence.

I LOVE the silent sound of this vision imprinted on my mind and heart right now

[The Raven King]

There is always a strength in your poetry. This is a very sensual and gentle poem, but that underlying strength is there and it makes a nice push pull feeling seep through the words. I like the short lines that say just enough and I love the way you put words together and make them sing.

[Jibey]

I liked very much the delicate gentleness of this, the warmth of the connection but handled with such finesses. The pleasure of touching and tasting, of the engagement of the senses was like a whiff of exotic perfume, words that floated into the dream with subtle fragrance... I love to share the breath of your dreams

[Kerry O'Connor]
