Moonlit Suite

Candle of Ishtar glints their eyes to taste
where fireplace burns hushed tones, a smoky glide
and dew anoints waxed mouths, sighs collide,
like unspoken quakes, uttered not in haste.
Lay bare night’s scent, unrelenting, unchaste
peeled garment floats on a lounge of mantle;
there, burst of seeds lodge in her ovule’s well
replayed, released, on nipples’ buds down waist.

Releasing logic, their notes pour as flame
on creamy skin, through dusk-time ever bold
and fingers crawl north to east without shame.
Lovers entwining as one in rush of heat
till  tresses billow like moist sleet, to exclaim
of Ishtar’s ripe tunes; groans of moonlit suite.



~ Petrarchan Sonnet  rhymed abbaabba,
 followed by a 6-line ‘sestet’in cdcdcd

Can I get a fan & a glass of cold water? Cool. Thank you! That "releasing logic" line is the loudest line. Incredible.

"Releasing logic", exactly!. The expansion of being sustained in vibrance invades my senses. Passionate flame done without crossing the line leaves me to imagine more than I can. Ice, please, lady of poetry's desire!

It's not Ishtar although she must have put a spell on this heated night. I must say you are the Godess of Sensuaity and Passion! Flows so well, describing an unstoppable force of attraction and sweet ache elegantly bursting all floral seeds of delight!
