Don’t even try to woo me I can resist you My mind is fortified Reason screams reasons to be careful Caution goes off in flares My mind is alert Aware I can resist you Oh, but my body My body plays traitor... My eyes adore you…. they take in every detail of your face your body every contour and muscle every masculine trait of virility Your lips…my eyes linger on your lips And make love to them…… My eyes speak surrender My hands tremble and give me away I clasp them together…tight knuckles white For in another minute they would escape and seek sanctuary on your body Caressing your cheeks, your chin they would travel down your neck feeling the protruding strength as you swallow they would take ecstatic trips across the expanse of your chest Finally moving around your waist to pull you in My teeth bite my lips in an effort to keep my tongue imprisoned for it longs to be unleashed to run along the lines of your face to slide on your lips...wetting them with want making them part so that it can dip inside your mouth and play to lose its way all over your body I can resist you My mind is fighting valiantly to keep my body in check Oh, but I feel damp desire spread in the heat of your presence As you move closer Looking down into my eyes I exhale the pent up emotions brought on by the ripples of anticipation longing for a touch that I want so much and my body's ablaze this passion craze Floods my face rosy red I can’t look away and you smile a warm slow smile You smile knowing the battle of mind over body is about to end my body will yield submit in surrender because your fierce made me tender And so with the confidence and grace of a seasoned soldier you move in for the kill agile with thrill you hand tilts my chin up and your mouth covers mine smothering the words of protest the mind has sent as last minute backup you hold me up crushed against your enveloping body as I collapse into your arms My mind? prisoner of war gagged and bound empty of thought ravaged by sensations As you work your way to your final victory claim Knowing as you do That you Are irresistible to ME Eileen Manassian

You start off with the best of resolutions, Eileen; no playing around...mind made up...loud and clear. But your alert mind already knows deep down that with looming revolt it will not be able to withstand the attack which desire is planning. Surrender is imminent; victory arrives .. but you are not a loser; in surrender you automatically become a victor! hugs // paul

Continued...The agony of your resistance, the physical manifestions of the denial are so intense! "My body plays traitor...Smothering the words of protest..." what a war for euphoria! Tremendous feeling alive in you, I'm full of adrenaline Eileen...A FAV!!! J.A.B.

A favorite? I'm thrilled that you would favor this piece, Justin. You know your opinion and analysis of my work thrill me. Thank you. Perhaps you would do me the favor of reading my latest poem as well....

Mmmmmm.....a struggle of seduction, fought with feeble, faint logic...your body, loyal to its neefs, your heart, savage against reason...this etotic conflict, the strain, the sting, the bindings and kisses, the truth of necessary surrender...the way you incorporate the terms of battle are ingenius with passion Eileen! Your inspiration is truly irresistible! A hot masterpiece of conquest. Such a beautiful prisoner...J.A.B.

I'm glad you've come to visit, Justin. You've been remiss of late. Thank you for this excellent post. A beautiful prisoner, is a prisoner nonetheless. :) At times...it's hard to use the mind when the body and heart yearn...Yearnings and longings are powerful...and at times seen insurmountable...Life has many lessons to teach both body and mind. Welcome to my work...

Oh my dearest, Eileen, even Alexander the great, the Greek general, 356-323 BC, would have fallen victim to your strategic approach to the battle! You are the one who the victor declares but we know very well, a declared victor is victor in name alone! A masterpiece of poetry! A seven and a seven!

Alexander the Great of Greece, your home country, my dear. He would not be able to withstand me? How sweet is that to my ear. :) I am basking in the glow of your post. Efkharisto para poli, Demetri. Esai toso kala mazi mou!

Heart and soul behind the portait you paint. I do not have Justin's poetic brilliance to say what your words make me feel but I can see that all you pen is a reflection of your "heart and soul" it could not be otherwise with the beauty you portray. Naughty or not you are my Enchantress and your spell has me caught in the pictures you paint. I can visualise you as Morgana La Fay to my Merlin. Trapped by the beauty I see. Love Shane xxx

"A Web of Sensual Magic" How delightful, Shane. Thanks ever so much. I'm not sure if desire came out on top or stayed on the bottom, but it won! ;) Oh....I'm being naughty. Thanks for the comment. My poems are real in the sense that I live each out. ;) Glad you liked this. Hugs

My imagination liked the seasoned solider (a mighty warrior -- hey, it me, love that) -- specially trained for dangerous missions, a lethal weapon is his body, a powerful force that does not fail . . . Outstanding LO, powerful, passionate, and penetrating . . . 7, fav

The author used superb imagery and gentle words to bring her feelings to the page and into our hearts. Your emotions emerge from your words and we can feel what you're saying and how it effects you. Emile #7 "They would down your neck" ?

Thanks ever so much, Njeri. This poem just came to me. I was writing another one with a slightly different point of view, but this begged to be expressed this way. I'm glad you liked it. hugs

'they would escape and seek sanctuary on your body...". I find the core of the poem here, Eileen. Each and every part of the beloved's body is made to please and be pleased by her lover. Hence, it's just a matter of time that the mind will follow suit, for it too, was made to captivate, and be held captive of the loved one, Sensual and sublime. 7 and to the favs!
