My symbol of a feral love you are A molten searing flame that burns from far The emblem of the best of bravery A sign of strength and honored chivalry You are the turbulence of passion's wave The gallant knight on steed who’s come to save You are the strength in love’s mad hurricane The tumult of obsession gone insane You are the conqueror; you are the king Ferocious love embodied, you’re the dream You are the pounding might of pouring rain The joy that comes with dawn of midnight pain You are the flaring sun that rules the sky The heat that flames the heart and sears the thigh You are the brightest star in midnight ink The tantalizing taste of tempter’s drink You are Enchantress' Son, come out to play Caressing every curve, you have your way You are the morning dew on thirsty lips The silk of scented oil that clings to hips You are the fantasy of every dream The current running deep in flowing stream You are desire's form on whom to cleave The intercourse of real and make believe You are the heat of love, personified The lustful needs of passion, gratified You are a wish, a hope for better things The joy of life and love, its angel wings Eileen Manassian

Thanks, Laura. I know that Justin is a favorite poet of yours too. I think we are drawn to his rawness in writing and his fearless way of expressing himself. In a world where sensuality and its expression isn't always look favorably upon, I have found Justin's work to be refreshing and an inspiration to me. Thanks for this lovely visit and post. I'm glad you like it. Hugs...

A symbol made by two hearbeats...wings on lips sending love to soul's bold leaps...I'm awestruck by your elegant, sensual love song Eileen. You have found something true and rare to celebrate with your ravishing flair, someone special to secure in your heart's warm lair! "The silk of scented oil that clings to hips..." Ahhhhh....so rich! Astonishing rhyming, astonishing passion once more, yet so fresh and new from you...a love Masterpiece Eileen...J.A.B.

Yes, I liked the painting as well....a young girl thinking of the ideal....In many ways...I'm still a young woman and idealism is still very much the heart of soul of my life. Thanks for the comment on the painting. I love looking for pics that go along with my poems. It's part of the fun! :)

Justin...so glad you are here. You were on my mind when I wrote this. You are a symbol of the best of fierce and wild passion. You know passion is my favorite theme to write on...passion, romance and idealism....You have that epic quality. You don't use euphemisms in your writes. You write things as they are. You are one of my favorite people here and you brighten my days with your posts on my work. :) I'm glad you liked this piece. I know others will think perhaps I'm buttering you up because I joined your contest. I don't really care. I'm proud of my Love Justice piece. Whether it wins or looses, I'm proud I wrote that. Thank you for being who you are. The woman who benefits from your passionate heart is truly blessed. :) Hugs

I read the words out loud and how did they sing . . . a very clever use of intercourse -- love that word and all of its connotations . . . You are definitely a master of these passionate love poems. Awesome, 7 fav

Oh....one of my favorite words as well. :) Anything that has to do with passion gets to me! Thanks for the visit, David. To be a master of passionate writes would be a title that I would treasure. Richard has named me Queen of the Romantic Pen. It is a title that I wear with pride. :) Hugs...hope all is well.
