Carnal Confessions of Your Lover

So I built you of my own selfish Visions outlined in sugar coloured Droplets of daffodils naked skin to Rose petals caramel and cinnamon Lips her eyes burn sienna in crimson Flames and we’re writhing in a mound Of brown as if the Gods forgot to paint Us outlines her caramel pythons wrap me Within their poisonous lust naked skin to Daffodil petals bubble baths and bodies candle Lit lovemaking at its best slithering out our Clothes as they melt off our hips to the floor My lips to your 4 my tongue to your cup of Cherry folds finger nails tattoo backs with Stories of battle scarred chariots ridden to fire And death stands still silently breathing bathed In moonlight listening to heart beats and our Bed this squeaking pile of soft cloud kissed Puddles on these sheets sweating from the heat This fire the friction bodies intertwined in this Made up addiction candlelight to tell stories of Naked skin to naked skin bubble baths between Our bodies song lyrics to guide our hips my Body tells of all these wicked dreams in a Language not all too foreign but familiar scents Draw me to your seasoned flesh my hunger Ravenous these carnal confessions of your lover…

There is some great imagery in this: ‘Droplets of daffodils naked skin to - Rose petals caramel and cinnamon ‘; ‘Clothes as they melt off our hips to the floor’’, that give the poem a strong narrative. The structure of lines and enjambment work well to create a flow to the poem that never threatens to lose its control. The language takes the reader out of the everyday and into the world of the poem.
