curvaceous

my fingertips
touch ...
tender, but with melodic intent
you tremble
just SO ...
and sigh sweetly
the delightful answer
to my questioning hands
a gentle press ...
your supple curves against me
fitting me like dovetail
your quivers ...
soft-thrumming my flesh
matching your moans
the hushing pulse of your body
urges me on ...
your swan-like neck
satin beneath my hot palm
as it moves lower
pressing ...
deft digits dancing across you
like a wild Spaniard
we are ... one
our purpose, the same
oh, sing to me now
let my passion be your cry
let our lullabies of love and desire
move souls ...
and ache hearts
my beloved ...
guitar.

John Watt Date: 12/8/2020 10:36:00 PM Bard, this is great misdirection knowing your signature style. Excellent love song to 'Lucille'. Music and poetry make a great marriage... I suppose it's best you didn't mention her G-string... I gladly pass over the potd mantle to a top poet... going in my faves. Blessings, brother Login to Reply

Sam Kauffman Date: 12/8/2020 9:49:00 AM The "Spainiard" gave it all away Greg along with "soft-thrumming," "digits dancing, " "supple curves" among many other wonderful clues! Masterfully crafted my friend. I kept thinking this was an omage to your guitar and suddenly there it is was in your last line. Nice misdirection! Simply delightful. Congratulations on your POTD from one "picker" to another! Login to Reply
