D

D, who is she? Poetess of mystery?
Not to me.

Oh, thrashing ego held in drenched embrace
a lonely lady with a gorgeous face.
Oh, willing submissive to desire
entrancing power of poetic fire!
Her cosmic cry quelled by a crimson grin
when love's pulsating cadence comes from within.
Loneliness haunts her only but why?
Rivers of tears leave eyes too dry.
Like-minded must pull her in and then...
deep inner passions ink her pen.
Craving caresses from one so close to be
all along her truest love is poetry.

Sometimes it's what is not said that makes a poem most intriguing. Setting that aside, thanks so much for your kind- hearted commentary.

Interesting you should make that comment. D could be viewed as a composite of a series of female poets that I've encountered on the sites that I'm on. Had I known you better (not fearing to cross an improper line) that poem could very well be titled A. Thank you for your kind comment.

Connie, it's a funny thing. On Allpoetry, I was asked to write something for this poetess D, whom I've never met but we have conversed by web a few times. I just tossed it up here and now several poets have been moved by it. Baffles me. But thanks for your comment, hmmm.

Thanks Line. She's a poet on Allpoetry that I was asked to write about. I don't know why I put it up here, I just did. So nice of you to use your poetic radar and think well of it. Much appreciated.
