Notes About The Poem

Indulgent Love

Like melted chocolate,
words dripping
from his velvety tongue
rippled to her heart;
she tasted their rich flavor,
inhaled the aroma,
succumbing to
emotional intoxication.
She craved for more...
Seduced by luxuriant words,
her defenses weakened,
overpowered
by an irresistible urge
to bathe in love’s indulgence.
 
Opulent pleasures
caressed her thoughts.
Each syllable drew a sigh. 
Her wish: to be sated
His unspoken promise: to fill her
with abandon – to thrill her.
She no longer dared
inhibit the demands
her soul was making;
this was hers for the taking.
Warning signs: DENIED! 
She tasted the sweetness
gratifying her cravings
in his indulgent love.

A Collaboration between Paul Callus and Eileen Manassian

Thanks, Lewis. I enjoy writing on this theme. Paul is well aware of that and has written 5 other collabs with me that all revolve around love, romance, and passion. I'm glad you enjoyed it.

Lin Lane, your opinion of the content and nature of my writes is very important to me. You are a woman of faith, and if you can give your blessing on a write...I feel I haven't crossed any lines. I hope that you believe the sincerity of my words on this. :) I appreciate your post...and your kindness. Hugs, dear.

I could easily get in the gutter after reading such heat and then seeing: Collaboration between ... . I don't know if you follow, but I've had my grin. Heat it is and I hope everyone has experienced what y'all did such a great job delivering in the fine, sensual poem that has truly woken my sensual memories ... CayCay (read "Unbound" - third down) good to be here and I look forward to returning with more time to spend with your work. Hope you are golden
