Deeper shades of read
each word becomes home
proven sanctuary
moored upon warmth that is you
call out to me— my other half
I'm listening
searching
where meeting between the lines
is bold discovery
that heartily welcome
arcs of pure incendiary imagination
exposing mind, body and soul
feel deep, in bold triumphant spirit
revel amongst pleasurable panacea
riding out as waves, crashing
marvel each page's turn
across a captivated yearn
carving out hope and longing
coil it,
oh so slowly around us
press into places
brand hearts
of verse and chapter
awe at those heady sparks
as they illuminate all the empty darkness
lighting up pathways long forgotten
colors not of this world
beget our new alien luminescence
how strangely perfect, this
our magnificently foreign glow... glows
painting everything
a single shade of rhapsody

You really made my day with this lovely observation. Being gratuitous comes easy to me... it's the nuance that's way more difficult... Thanks for appreciating, my lovely friend.
Enjoy your fall days!

Bluevelvete,
love how you weave this one. Coiling it around until the “sparks…..illuminate all the empty darkness lighting up pathways long forgotten”.
Enjoyed the feel of this one.

Some of the very deepest kinds of connections are the power of words along with the potential for actual soul mates. This was my attempt at using a metaphor to increase the ante a bit by doing a play on both while also reflecting on the nuance of erotica, itself... The comp this was for really challenged me and my ideas, which I deeply love and enjoy trying to figure out a way to pen something that I can be proud of.... I hope I've accomplished just that.
Thank you for feeling me, my dear shaman....it really is meaningful to me. I appreciate you stopping by ... so much!

I love how this write of yours leads the reader into an intimate setting, using alluring words.
The accompanying picture obviously begins the journey for the reader, watching the subject write in her journal. Your lush poem adds the vivid color, though, to the picture.
Wonderful.

I debated even adding a picture, in hopes the piece itself could (should) stand on its own, so maybe that decision of mine, to ultimately include one, gave me an easier time conveying the intent/essence of the poem?!? .... As a whole, it probably is more powerful (with an image), I agree.... I do appreciate the generous list add and the thoughts you kindly have taken the time to share 🙏🏻

Dear BV,
Very very clever and most enjoyable. The play on words is elegantly successful because it’s full of sizzle wrapped in cool silk! This presents with so much class and allows the reader to fuel their own fire. Excellent write. I wish you all the best for this comp. I’m short on RL’s 🙄
So this instead. 🏆

Thank you so much for finding the sizzle popping underneath, which is exactly what I wanted to convey... It's so much more difficult to write in metaphor or an almost innuendo than it is to be gratuitous, but for me, it's a motivational challenge that I can't resist. Thanks for the positive juju... Missed you, lady.
Hope you are doing well and enjoying fall.

You sanctify the act of touch into a sacred melody of dance that smolders in the holy trinity of my manly below. And I come to your altar in worshipful awe and feel the slide of your skin through the touch of your imagery on my eyes that caresses the very source of my manhood into a solidified pastoral staff that stands before your Goddess as a pilgrim before your feminine consecration. The totality of your vision fills me to the brink of ecstasy. And I envision you in the sheets with your heat surrounding me as a blanket of desire.
Your sensual admirer always,
John

Your vast kindness is utterly overwhelming, my darling. I hope you know just how much all of your comments, support and support encouragement means... It's truly consequential and I'm simply in awe of the outpouring. I couldn't count myself any luckier, John.... really.
I might not make it each poem, with my words of deepest appreciation and gratitude but please know they're there, in spades.
Life is keeping me much busier than I would like, so the time that I usually spend here on DUP, which I adore, has been almost nonexistent. I am hoping that changes within the next few weeks to months.
Love love love seeing you and getting a handle on your mindset. I hope you're doing well and that you're enjoying the beginning of the fall season.... my favorite!
Much love and biggest hugs,
