Notes About The Poem

It has been a while since I have written in rhyme.....

 

I am not conversed in the art of love, But if you came before me, Love would no longer be a myth - poet

Poetic Lips

I had heard about the legend of her lips,
so, at the sight of vermillion moonlight,
shimmering on turquoise ripples at twilight,
my soul ventured, craving the sighs of her sips.
Fate led towards a path of wooden shutters,
amidst the silence, silken whispers enticed,
upon her vision, all speech was sacrificed.
My heart danced like velvet butterfly flutters.

Her lips resembled two petals yearning for rain,
with an innocent blush resting on their tips,
curved liked sacred, unwritten poetic scripts,
I surrendered my muse for her kiss to drain.
They seemed to tremble, waiting to be explored.
An unspoken allurement composed through her eyes,
where she veiled a threshold of nectarous cries,
like dawn, we merged as the moon and sun adored.

In neroli mist we melted like molten gold,
lost volcanic spirits spilling in lava lust.
Her wildfire swept my senses like a spiced gust,
as hummingbirds, hummed about secrets untold.
There was a sinful sweetness in her caress.
In her sanctum, I forgot the essence of 'me,'
as her taste turned a blank page into poetry.
A rendezvous, which ylang ink cannot confess.

Dear friend Silent One, your poem beautifully captures the allure and mesmerizing appeal of an enchanting encounter. The vivid imagery and romantic metaphors convey a deep sense of longing and passion. Its evocative language and the way it paints such a vivid picture of desire and connection is just exceptional.

I thoroughly enjoyed this passionate poem. Some of the imagery is excellent and all of it is a wonderful, engaging, erotic poem. 'Her .... turned a blank page into poetry ... I know that person, but her was a 'his' because she was a he. Oh, me. I came back to edit after I noticed this received POTD. Congratulations on that, I hope you enjoyed the day. CayCay

Hello Silent One, Congrats on POTD that feels like you slipped back into rhyme with the ease of someone who never really left it. Your imagery is lush, sure, but what struck me more was the vulnerability under all that molten gold and the way desire becomes a kind of surrender, a blank page turning into something living. It’s a strong return to rhyme, and it reads like you trusted your instincts. Blessings Daniel

enjoyed your alliterative phrases--especially liked these lines: There was a sinful sweetness in her caress. In her sanctum, I forgot the essence of 'me,' as her taste turned a blank page into poetry. A rendezvous, which ylang ink cannot confess.
