Metaphorically Sensual

Red Sky @ Night

I fell like the sun when I heard
your delicate voice reciting love poetry  
With words your quill etched into
the frozen orb walled up inside me  
My soul enchanted by the flow
of tsunamic waves within your verse  
Then bedazzled by your spoken dance,
if not so pure would be a curse  
Tonight's delighted sky reveals
how our hearts beat in harmonic resonance  
So hold my hand to fly as one into
the flames of our blazing renaissance  

Soaring to new heights together,
unfurled colors explode across the sky  
Lighting up the nighttime heavens
where eternal darkness goes to die  
Fading behind rising constellations
drawing pictures of deities at play  
Pouring your Big Dipper into the galaxy
of my spilling Milky Way  
How I long to create our song,
laying naked in each other's arms  
Blending our hearts and moons and stars
in a bowl of Lucky Charms  

Scenes I dream between the sheets
of paper filled with rhymes of yours and mine  
Of thought forming more than fantasy
spilled in imagery within a poet's mind  
Would I be stepping over an unspoken line
drawn in the sands on a beach  
Where castles of imagination
are beyond a minstrel's clandestine reach?  
Could there be a shoreline
where dawn's red skies are not a sailor's warning  
And delicious treats beneath starry skies
foreshadow a good-morning?  
 
I spread my wings when I sensed the heat
from your glowing comet's trail  
Once again I spied the fluttering feathers
on the tip of your scarlet tail  
I crave the tickle you place upon my nose
with your rustic fluffy muff  
And the scent of warm bread spread
with strawberry jam and marshmallow fluff  
How pleased I'd be to drink the sweet and salty elixir
flowing from your holy grail  
When the pleasure I gift you with unfurls
your folds into a crafty silken sail  
 
Would you then return the winds
to blow me into a sea of ecstasy?  
Where I would swim the ocean blue
and surf the waves of your red-sea  
Under the cloak of night you read to me
to guide me to your hidden lair  
Wantonly displaying my ascending crest
to let you know I'm almost there  
Then drizzle upon the pointed tips
of your soft white chocolate kisses  
With warm French-vanilla cream
to satisfy your shooting starlight wishes  
 
Filling my mind's eye with dark stars
exposes your beguiling specter  
Unquenched until drowned in a flood
of honey laced natural nectar  
The warmth of passion quickly arrives
as you erupt in blissful chirrup  
A flood pours from your royal chalice
into this pawn's old wooden cup  
Nourishing my parched heart
that could not flow with the ink of poetry  
Until it spilled upon your parchment
in the hue of pink sky harmony  
 
With the full moon setting on my pillow
just before the crack of dawn  
Diamonds and rubies sparkled 'round
the rim of your queenly golden crown  
Kissing your icy peaks until they melt
into a refreshing mountain dew  
As you spread your feathered wings
and I come to rest on top a glistening hillside
When the morning star arose
the phantom vultures had all finally been laid to rest  
While lyrics of the lovebirds song hum
in the wind while we happily build our nest

Hello everyone!! So far, I'd addressed everyone's entry up until my hiatus. I apologize to those whom I haven't. I've read from the outside looking in & all are beautiful pieces.. I'm blessed for each entry & hope to be back in working order by the 30th to elect the winner. You've all made it exceptionally hard for me so far! I will definitely be looking for help outside of these halls. See you all soon...
