Playful

Feasting on my splendor ravishing to your eyes Greet me seductively, watch me bathe in sunrise, Breathing me in, devouring scent of intimacy, Caressing my breeze teasing you affectionately Cuddling love’s essence in elysium of my affinity Holding me in your trance of her magical allure Enamoring doting senses of passions I conjure Feeling her tender beats in fragility of my heart Indulging softly in her fascination for romance Tempting me longingly in glamor of her glance As purple cheeks blush, titillating my ruby visage Fantasizing silken lips inflaming euphoric kiss, But, dare not pluck me young man, till I’m willing Undressing sensuously, revealing inner beauty, Unveiling my core, arousing petals of yearning~ Only then I will be ready, worthy of your promise, When you present me to her, she’ll be beaming For I am the rose of her dreams, elixir of ecstasy.

"Watch me bathe in sunrise," " arousing petals of yearning," "elysium of my affinity" these and so many other amazing poetic images and word combinations flow from your pen like the fragrance of this rose Vijay. I love the way you write from the perspective, and hopes, of the rose! I will never look at a rose the same way. Beautiful. A fave for me. Congratulations and blessings.
