Kiss Risk

Your lips are so soft tonight
like young truth 
on the fingertips of my fantasies,
I know it's dangerous for you
it's dangerous for me too,
our hearts could become hostages
to ancient laws of Love,
the leather of the law may be applied
silk used to silence shyness,
we could appeal to the supreme feeling,

I slip the satin secrets off your innocent shoulders
texture of carnal cream cascading freely
to the flowering of your violet felicity
your hair feels like a feather teasing my ear
as I listen to the vocals of an inner yearn
reveal the rapture of a rose on fire -

J.A.B.  2020

Alesia Leach Date: 5/1/2025 11:07:00 AM Justin, this is exquisitely intimate--each line drips with tension, tenderness, and risk. “Our hearts could become hostages / to ancient laws of Love”--what a stunning truth. There’s something sacred in the surrender here, in the way desire is wrapped in both silk and danger. “A rose on fire” is the perfect image to close--a bloom of passion and peril. Beautifully written. Warmly, Alesia Login to Reply Justin Bordner Date: 5/12/2025 3:48:00 PM Your sensuality is your strength, your care courage Alesia, it's very beautiful how you feel...J.A.B.

Laura Breidenthal Date: 9/19/2020 4:18:00 PM "we could appeal to the supreme feeling" - that's right - love is a supreme state of being. I adore that fiery image you provoke and tempt even for the reader they can feel the heat - the ingenuity. Always, Laura Login to Reply Justin Bordner Date: 9/20/2020 4:16:00 PM To feel the fire of the rose is to see the diamond light of love Poetess...Justin

Timothy Hicks Date: 5/3/2020 1:25:00 PM "I know it's dangerous for you it's dangerous for me too," WoW. If that's not a red hot sign of what lies in store! Loved the wordplay of "leather of the law" "silk used to silence shyness" and the imagery that one can feel like "violet felicity". You have many tools in your poetry toolbox, that always makes for a rich reading experience.
