SENSUAL SILKY COLORS

I have loved and been loved
I have shared ivory love bliss colors 
I have ridden sapphire airs of crimson ecstasy
                                            and touched silvery, tingling stars
 
I have felt sumptuous, silky, lilac joy move 
                                           and embrace my harlequin heart

I have melted to tangerine delight caresses 
                                           tingling my willing, fuchsia skin

I have been lifted and turned and tossed 
on sensual, erotic waves that boldly travelled 
thoroughly through and within me

Andrea Dietrich August 10, 2025 at 1:24 AM Oh yes. Look below and see. I had favved this one back in 2017. So which parts of this did the cruise line steal from you? The Sorry poem you mentioned I also had really liked. I will soupmail you tomorrow about my daughter's boyfriend. It's so late and I'm always so uncomfortable trying to sleep!

Ann Foster July 30, 2019 at 9:02 PM There was great, "honest", power in the words. Innocence and love entwined... Beautiful. Ann

Vladislav Raven March 22, 2016 at 8:35 PM Hi Cay Cay, Congratulations on your win in the contest. I have felt the gentle breath of your kaleidoscopic words. Like Tim says this one is totally different, unigue, it goes onto my faves....Vlad.

Timothy Hicks March 22, 2016 at 1:51 AM Wow, this one is quite different than the others I've read. Surprisingly brief considering the 10 words you had to use ... you used spacing very intelligently to mimic those waves, as we surf on your color stream. I haven't checked the results, but I hope it did well. I enjoyed it.

James Inman March 21, 2016 at 5:51 AM This one moves me. I love the stressed lines and the strong repeated words. The format guides the beautiful content. A WONDERFUL write CayCay.
