Notes About The Poem

Let Me Translate

Let me translate
My love for you
From written.... to spoken....to touched
From syllable sensuality
To physical functionality
From verbal to nonverbal virtual reality

Or better yet
Let me translate them into YOUR language
Yes, I’m a polyglot glutton
craving your satiation
Interjection velocity 
Groan and grope physicality
Touch and tease and taste temerity 
Chaste words undulating into unchaste carnality

Let me translate
In meanings that you understand
Points of reference that you rant and pant
In my ear…say it in a chant….
Over and over...
I won't let you recant
your forbidden fantasty frolic…
Baby...I’ll grant

Let me translate
Into the language of YOU
I understand
Your savage need laced with greed….
concede....every one...
to me
This wave won't recede
till that passion is freed...
by my deliciously devilish deed...

My pleasure peaks uncontrollably
Rocked in your volatility
Word translation ecstasy
Come together finality
Verbal.......
non-verbal.....
G~R*A~T*F~I*E~D 
unity

So, just let me....
Let me translate
My love
For
You

No need to translate, Eileen! Yours is a universal language of love, passion and seduction; sensual and sensuous. Hmmm Grat(I)fied unity! [Great visuals, by the way!] #7 ~ ~ ~ Hugs // paul

Your translation is a beautifully creative sensation. A field of gorgeous flowers growing in a desert full of rocks. Romance is your twin and sensual rests as your best friend. ALWAYS A PLEASURE TO READ YOUR POEMS MY FRIEND. A7

OH....so we speak the same language, I see. :) Thanks for the lovely post, Justin. I'm always awed by the way words just.....bust into flame with you. To be able to captivate the interest of such a sensual writer as yourself is a great feat. Your contest wins are some of my sweetest ever.....always first place.....four contests. :) That will always remain with me. Glad you liked the quotes and the pic. Hugs

What a translation Eileen. Its Spanish and French, German, Dutch, Russian,Greek,Cuban, Polish, Ukraine, English, American love language! If I left a nationality out forgive me. You translated this universal language of erotica, sex, and love all mixed in this cleverly exceptional write.

Yes....I am a polyglot in real life, Michael. Speak six language to varying degrees. I love learning. I love languages. I love.....love. I like to think my poetry is sensual more than anything else. It's a genre I love to write it. I'm glad you enjoyed it. I will surely revisit your write. To know your treasure my opinions brings me joy. Thank you. Hugs

ps. I rewrote Jacks tribute and made all the corrections I needed to make. When you first read it you must have thought I was sleeping when I wrote it with all the mistakes lol. It was four in the morning when I decided to write it. Quite embarrassed for not correcting. Will do a better Job next time Eileen before you gaze at my write. Please revisit when you have a chance. I treasure your opinions.
