Penetrating Portals

Your eyes arrive on me
like the whips of passion's urgency
wide with white smite encasing eons inflamed in irises,
I feel the tight temperature of they're heated hue, my lust crises rises,
brown autumn burning into ravenous red, seduction's takeover fast overhead,
you've got an angel in one eye, a devil in the other, teammates, temptation led
trouble in your stare and glory in your glare, there's a gamble on your lips
I get an adrenaline hit, I see the misfit, magic in those lids
beauty and banditry bound to fantasy,
hips and slits favoring me,
brash brows and lapping lashes
portals pivoting on our cunning chances,
flawless in flirt, a merciless miracle of attraction,
there's somethin lawless in you woman
got me comin for your lovin -

J.A.B.

A woman, and passion, that reveals a new way for a man to hunger and bleed Quincy. That's how I wrote this poem...J.A.B.

This poem describes the one so well..Through her eyes one can see both sweet innocence ,and ardent passion...Must be She with all her muses playing with your heart.This is sweet and sensual too.Once I ve written a poem called 'Daughter of God,lover of the devil.'.then erased it..Dont even know why..But it is true Guess We all have devils and angels playing with our heart.Of course I prefer sweetness to sensuality if I had to have my pick,but it seems We are molded from both God and Eve (or as many say adam. : ). I love the thoughts I could sense through yr words.I love 'the gamble of her lips'..Btw,thanks for your supportive comments Justin.

Your soul travels the spectrum of sensuality and motivations with remarkable discernment Charma. You are a patient romantic, selective in sweetness, confident in your wisdom. We play love like warriors gamble with fate, its so beautiful Charma...J.A.B.

The ears have very sensitive parts Connie, tingles that begin in the eyes and ears reach our desires with a rampage of hunger...J.A.B.

There is something so magnetic and mysterious about a person's eyes that just draws us in... I loved the line, "an angel in one eye, a devil in the other." I think that everyone has a bit of both in them, some people are just better at hiding it... I really enjoyed this amazing write, Justin. Very intense and soulful, as always!

To have soul focus concentrated on us via the eyes grasps the very heart Kelly, you are so correct! An angel supporting our needs, a devil stressing our naughty wants. It feels good to share intensity with you Kelly...J.A.B.

The eyes open up portals of passion, truth and pain that would otherwise be wordless.I think one can read years just by looking someone in the eye. They are sensitive and can be bewitching, intimidating and heartbreaking. My favorite line from your poem: "you've got an angel in one eye, a devil in the other, teammates, temptation led". You've got the angel and the devil in this work, rich in the magic of temptation. Soulful work here. My eyes are always out for more! Always, Laura

I love being the focus of your Eye Laura, you always teach me about the exquisite balance between suffering, joy and love. Heartbreaking eyes, so much expressed with so few words, so much told with one glance. Thank you for the powerful comment my dear Laura. Your work is a portal to amazing soul. J.A.B.

Her eyes communicate enchantment beyond the expected, she has the power to open the primal need of a man Jade. A woman using the instinct of her magic with disregard for law, she summons and he responds. Your beauty knows this truth. Your view moves me Jade...J.A.B.

There's a lot of killer lines in the middle of the poem... trouble in your stare, glory in your glare, beauty and banditry bound to fantasy. Catchy, alliterative, and descriptions that just come off the page. I can see what Richard is saying about that last line - but I can see your point of view too. If it's what YOU as the author felt at the time and you still feel it - then that's what really counts. You'll never please each and every reader, but that isn't the goal.

I concur with your perspective of what an Artist's objective should be Timothy. I translate my inspiration to the best of my ability, with a rare passion and reverence for the language I command. I seek not acceptance, only the truth of my passion. Thank you for the comprehensive comment, glad you respect my spirit Timothy. J.A.B.

If you moved but a single person with your poetry, at some point in time. Then what else can one ask? Love you writing style, my friend.

I love the whole piece but pardon me the last line doesn't match the artistry of the piece. You may see it differently but it brings to mind the character "Mclovin" where the rest of the poem was more the Prince of Passion.
Bordner Avatar
October 26, 2014 at 8:10 PM
I know not who or what "Mclovin" is Richard, regardless it is not uncommon for unorthodox soul and artistry to be perplexing, in fact there is strength and beauty in such vistas. I disagree with you Richard, but your honesty is appreciated, and I'm happy that my passion inspires you. J.A.B.

There is so much passion in this piece....It is simply sizzling off the screen. "Your eyes arrive on me like whips of passion's urgency." Very real..."My lust crises rises". Justin, you are a very astounding poet, indeed. Passion is your passion.

There is an inherent gamble in every movement of passion, the eyes of the ones we love possess instinct to entice, a drive to claim. Your name is beautiful, like emeralds in the fabric of night's mystery Jade...J.A.B.
