Lava Lamp
White wine was the internal ink
the highlighter that we didn't see right away
So red ink sufficed
as it made its way to our skin
Drawing doodles, instead of words
onto one another's wrists
As our veins carried the hints
up to our shoulders
And we smudged the lines
rest of the way
to each other's lips.
~
She rises atop me
like the warming lava
inside her red lamp
Every movement is a curve
each roundness blends
into the next
My hands roam for her edges
-None, but there is depth
Desire is drumming, against our ribs
We gulp euphoria like it's mint
to flavor our heated breath
My straight edges arc, to bend
against her arches, that search
for heat for her lava
-The only lubricant that survives
the intensity of our intent
Seemingly scorching
our flammable inks
We ride the flames
over one another's oiled skin.
~~~

This is really good. The narrative part quickly blurs into what seems like a surreal depiction of lovemaking. 🌹 it also has an arc from innocence to experience- doodling on each other like kids to oiled bodies.

Thank you much Trillium.
Actually the wine and drawing on the wrists is true. We were trying to write some creative stuff. But yeah, the wine....
This is a work in progress, I think. I kinda rushed it, just to post something. It's been awhile.
We all have to keep our writing fires burning, ya know?
Thank you again. It's much appreciated .

Sensuous erotic piece without being anatomical. Love these verses:
She rises atop me
like the warming lava
inside her red lamp
Every movement is a curve
each roundness blends
into the next
My hands roam for her edges
-None, but there is depth
Desire is drumming, against our ribs
We gulp euphoria like it's mint
to flavor our heated breath
My straight edges arc, to bend
against her arches, that search
for heat for her lava
-The only lubricant that survives
the intensity of our intent

Hey how are you?!
Thank you so much. I'm not much for "adult content" really. I like the surrealism within the sensual. It works for me I guess. The "body parts go here"are all well known, so I look for the connections more than just that. It just suits me better.
Thanks again!

Dear S,
Romantic and sensual without the graphic. Elegant and appreciated. When there’s a caring relationship so much can be said in the unspoken actions and you’ve depicted that so brilliantly. I also llke the nod to the lava lamp. I always wanted one, alas, never got one. Maybe I’ll put that on my list for Santa. Great write. H🌷

There's something seductive about watching a lava lamp...
And obviously I respect Del, along with being in love with her. So graphic play by play material ain't happening. Not that I've ever been much of one for that type of write.
I absolutely struck gold having her in my life. I won't squander that.
Thanks H. It's always good to have your input. You've spoiled me on it.

Well thank you for that. Really. I keep thinking that it needs work. I rushed it. Yet positive input assures me that it's worth saving. I appreciate it.

I live for this kind of writing, unctuous and open and rich. Greeeeat painting, Styx.

You enriched my vocabulary. "Unctuous". How did you possibly know that word!!!
Actually I pondered over using "oily" in that sentence. I was trying to convey a seeping lava lamp, more or less. I also was trying to keep this write less drawn out, as I'm prone to go on and on. So oily worked I suppose.
Thank you very much for your comment. It's truly appreciated.

I hope you 2 don't have to go long between visits, but in the interim you both write beautiful poems for us. A journey journal indeed. Thank you for sharing with us!

Hey Willow.
We are managing well within the confines of time and distance. Del brought up a good point earlier. When I was in the Army (ages ago), I was deployed a great deal. So this is similar to that. We learn to hold on to what's important, and to memories and promising future times. So, this is just the physical pauses. The rest remains shared.
Writing is another way of being together, of sorts. Yes? It's what got us together. It will be our longest bond.
Actually, we see each other pretty frequently, considering!
I appreciate your note of confidence. I needed to post something, and this is what I came up with!

This is so lovely:)
This makes me miss you so so much. You have a way of writing that really
reaches into the heart and gives it a squeeze. Not painfully - but to remember/remind the
heart to keep beating while reading.
Life is wonderful. . . Keep beating. . . Love is beautiful. . . Keep beating . . .It won't kill you. . . .Keep beating:)
Thanks for the reminder babe!!
I love you:)

Hello beautiful. Nice avatar.
What a great comment! Ready for another bottle of wine? Next time we're drawing on each other's back, with sharpies! At least we're never bored baby!
Thank you. For being the light. I didn't realize how gloomy it was around me, because it gets easy to accept after awhile. What a difference you've made inside me. You gave me the best version of me. Love is easy, because it's natural for us. You my dear, are perfect.

Awesome!
(Is there supposed to be an apostrophe for "its" there? I think so. I'm horrible with that)
Ironically, saying mint there was a last second change from another word. So it's really cool that you mention that line.
Thank you! I try to stay within a certain degree of erotic, without being explicit in my writes. It's a bit more mind-work too. How to say without saying..... lol. I'm glad that you liked my results, Pink.

Huge fan of lava lamps, black lights...
And now...
What they call: Fairy lights.
I have these purple lights that are like
a blacklight written in Christmas lights...
Has a cool ambiance...
But for a nice sensual glow...
The lava lamp...
(Some way cool lines throughout...)

Thanks Cipher. Something about the slow build up and rise inside the lamp, it's sensual and mesmerizing to me. I have no idea why the idea popped into my head, to write about it. But, it's done. Lol
