Love the sustained use of "s" in the first stanza ... then lighter in the rest of the poem. Also love the slant rhyme of "Goddess/modest" ... "And love myself ..." has a double meaning, one erotic, one not. "Yearn to enter her/Give in to her/Pen her/Bend her/Win her" - breathtaking flow and build up. Of course "Pen her" was just perfect! The "y" ending words in the third stanza tantalize the ear (I read poems, mine and others, in a soft whisper to hear the sounds) The closing is just perfect ... single lines with a pausing space in between. *Sigh*

I bet you never thought you could make a black man blush! Lol. Anyway I’m glad you got it, I always worry with free verse. Thank you for the glowing review!

Glad to know I could make you blush ... One of the things I love about free verse is its flexibility. While you can mess up rhyme ... by overdoing it for example, you have more ... artistic flexibility ... with free verse.

Beautiful imagery..... I am loving this piece.... It's like an open letter, a confession but written so beautifully... Well done.

I'll agree 110% with LilDragonFly about this poem. Ditto on the imagery. Quite self telling which for me is something I tend to avoid in my writing. Bravo.

Guess I'm old fashioned, not a prude but online I tend to be less open than normal. The family isn't happy I post online as they are very conservative and all that rot. Lol. I don't care but up to a point I have to. Thanks for asking.

A beautifully written poem describing your ideal woman who clearly holds a very special place in your heart.
I loved your poem and how it made me tingle. Well done!
