Perfume In the Desert

I follow an unseen trail of your seductive perfume
through the sand plains and dune spines,
the moon beams a target on your Temple
a wave of shadow glow in the deep night,
the cloak of my heart flutters
as I see you,  gowned in the youth of star light,
a woman with no age, fresh and ready for love
in secret chamber made for the pulse of passion
a shelter from storm and sorrow,

You greet me as Warrior with eyes radiant in hunger
a smile that ravishes my final impulse of suspicion,
you tell me to let struggle escape from shoulders stiff
to remove my worry of what if and the clutch of false desires,
the need for your erotic enclosure of my body ensues
my heart and hardened limb speak the same language
an ancient tongue of wonderlust
want wettens my thirsty mouth for you,
I claim you as my Goddess of divine caress,
leading me into your valley of honey cream
we elope into the eclipse of desert bliss -

J.A.B.

These lines are strong and lush in riveting passion and hunger -"the need for your erotic enclosure of my body ensues my heart and hardened limb speak the same language an ancient tongue of wonderlust" ..they are memorable and just one example of your masterful way of expression...I like how she draws him into her embrace, offering so much more than love, but wisdom, and perhaps some empathy too... the perfume of your work pervades my air this morning. Thanks Justin! Always, Laura

She and I are overcome by passion to understand eachothers strengths and stress, to feed one another rare healing and encouragement. Your deep comments confirm that this poem justifies what we share. I feel your stimulation Laura, and its a privilege to share with you these things. J.A.B.

This poem is masterful in strong passions of mutual sensuality and love. Two people, or two beings, that know each other, bear one another and are wholly united. You have a way of setting the mood right off the bat, and pulling the reader straight in. Many of the lines gave me tingles and goosebumps.. --

Ooo....I relish that compliment Laura, tingles and goosebumps.......the spirit of this poem must be strong to elicit those throughout you. Your analysis of poetry is surpassed by no one! You always find a way to grip and study the frame work of Art, its such a beautiful process to observe in you Laura. Yes, immediate spirit to the heart Laura...J.A.B.

Justin, this is a mighty fine poem. I am happy for you, and this warrior gal, who hungers your eyes. Every one is cut deep, some deeper than others. However, I'm surprised you are still seduced by that perfume. LINDA

The intimacy of this poem revolves around the Goddess relieving the strain of the warrior, understanding and healing his cuts, and he in turn treating her wound. Warriors are defined not by their cut, or by how many they have, rather from how they bleed...this poem speaks to your heart...you are a great warrior woman Linda...J.A.B.

Perfume can be intoxicating, Justin. My signature scent...Elie Saab (the perfume). I LOVE it. It is floral and heady...but OH SO SWEET. Just like this poem of yours. It is absolutely stunning. Wonderful write...You just go from glory to glory.
