lips of roses

I ache to slip between your fingers ~ ivory and ebony entwined, breathing in aural arpeggios, where the silent keys of our hearts, crescendo in sync, like luscious lips of lunar roses...

Dear Empress Ahhh..the synesthesia of "breathing in aural arpeggios", it turns a physical interaction into a literal melody. I think by blending the "ivory and ebony" of a piano with the "entwined" fingers of lovers, makes the act of connection feel like a practiced, beautiful performance. After all look who the composer is. Blessings, Empress, Daniel

Wonderful poetry. The heart is a teacher. Only the brave come to the class fully unprepared -- open and vulnerable a prerequisite for uncharted love.

Rose hips and lavender lips, purple sweet and heat replete, a touch above the finery of flesh, spirit searing nerves into evermore...J.A.B.

So beautiful. It has to be for one of the shorter versed contests, right? I can't think which one! I wanted to tell you in my lupine poem, I personified the wolf as a human. They actually become a lone wolf when their mate dies because they mate for life. When the mate dies they feel very sad. It is something I just learned about wolves.

Interesting lines penned. I am not sure what lunar roses might look like unless it would be a very creamy like white rose that bloomed at night. Thanks for sharing this one with us, IE. Way to go. If for a contest, it reads like a good contender to me. Sara K
