Arduous Delights

She felt utterly drenched 
 in his intoxicating  poetry
whetted her insatiable
   hunger for allegories'
     drunken semblances,
quenched an arid thirst  
     parched of reality,
as she fully indulged 
  a 'roused appetite
amidst gratifying
    brandied fruits &
abundantly aromatic spice
      of his arduous delights

A romantic nostalgia perfumed with a sweetly naive passion for invincible love lingers with such a delicate sadness in this lovely poem Paloma...J.A.B.

So soft and sensual are your words today Paloma. "She felt utterly drenched in his intoxicating poetry" Sigh, I feel as if I have entered a dream-state every time I read lines like this. Absolutely beautiful and yes, poetry feels just like that.

Poetry can be very intoxicating at times, but it is extremely intoxicating when the poet is a beautiful woman from NY, Paloma:)
