RED

new... pic from Google images

I sat blushed red 

alone on the shelf

you had an open invitation

to take me at your leisure

to the most desired place

fingers pressed lightly

across alabaster whites

and rose petal pinks..

salacious words driven deep

through the middle , 

..............your favorite part ?

word by word you read my lips

line by line tracing my curves

feeling the fine grain of parchment

where our story lines crossed

exclamations came in high velocity

like moans in the heated night

or a stray kitten  on the hot tin roof

drawing circles of unwritten words 

that danced between the sheets

............... pristine pages 

                             ...............untouched till now

                                       

..............you and I

The master and his mistress ?

The dom and his submissive ?

the kitten and her vagabond ?

or perhaps

only the reader and a book that has long awaited

and finally read.... !

Amazing read, Rose this is relating to my old memories smooth and really amazingly posed here. I loved the part which you ask "..............your favorite part ?" whereas, it narrates most part which I love too ;)
However, this is pleasant poem which really made me feel of my old times and I really enjoyed reading it again and again :)
Thanks for the invite :)

Thank you again Vik... I dont think this is a Narrative piece.. The very first line reads "I sat blushed red alone on the shelf" It is I (the book) speaking to him so for me to ask was the middle your favorite part seemed to fit tight in the same context.? I am glad you got to read this one and enjoyed it so.. Thank you.. xoxo

nicely done Rosey. A good book, a fine wine (or whiskey for Irish me), that one in a million dog, not to mention my lady beyond compare; all seem to fit tantric waiting, deep in feelings, fulfillings. I am beginning to anticipate your soft curves, blushed, hot faces each time I come here and you don't disappoint. Romantic heart and fiery pen. Nice job as always.

"Romantic heart and fiery pen" OHHH I like that. I think I will use that somewhere.. xo Thank you Einstein.. Rosey... :)

[JayJayBlue]

Great work and exploration of the more baser urges of humanity without being too crass. You've struck a good balance

[shallimarRose]

What are you talking about JJ I't just a Red unread book on the shelf.. lol..
Thank you for pausing to read .. xo

[Tom]

Titillating use of innuendo here...the physical desire between the submissive lover and her dominant partner and that exciting new book which is hard to leave alone!

A very creative and enjoyable poem to read & review !

[shallimarRose]

Thank you Tom.. I glad you have read and enjoyed.. xo

What a tease...I go from erotic bed time stories to reading a book? This was so eloquent and gorgeous in so many ways. This is proof positive that intimacy can be written about in good taste. Just gorgeous....

[shallimarRose]

Thank you Miss Muse.. I would like to invite you to read some of my other erotica when you have time if you like.. It is always spicey without but tasteful I like to think... Thank you for reading.. shallimarRose

[Muse]

I don't do RR's , but you can email me your best and I will surely visit. :))

Well I have my rr turned off right now too so totally understand.. Most of my poetry and stories are NON-erotic as i am new to erotica... I do have a table of contents up in my blog and in my pages under Bits of Me if you ever want to visit.. My mother is very ill and i am caring for her full time so its difficult for me to find much time now.. xo Rose

[Coyote Poetry]

A amazing poem. I like the way you led the reader to the very good ending.
"The master and his mistress ?
The dom and his submissive ?
the kitten and her vagabond ?"
I like the above lines. Allowed the reader to use their imagination. Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry.

Thank you sweet Coyote.. I appreciate your reading always.. xo Rose

Some books tease with their covers. (I don't care what they say, a books cover is always judged by me) I love books more than people, sometimes. I have an ongoing affair with a fictional character in my favorite series, so I totally get this one. Lively, fun piece, Shallimar! Angi~

[shallimarRose]

Thanks Angi..Glad you really got this one on such a deep level... I keep saying I will post "as the Book Beckons" and forgetting... I will dig it out.. thanks again for reading.. xo
