Seriously Bewildered

Although the scent of laughter flows Into my wind-swept breath , I hesitate the call of his rugged charm As violin notes serenade temptation’s play To crawl upon my luscious flesh igniting Evening's spice of an earthy maleness … I quiver. While moonshine drapes the porch-light's view, He pulls me nearer in warm embrace Fondling lines of my glistened back-- How in slow-fire drift, I claim effort To regain awareness from this hazy trance. In a hush flush, I gently leave bewildered Denying our first plunge with a ‘ no, not yet’… But seriously , in the brink of hunger and craving, My raw instinct pleaded to utter ………’yes.’ john lawless' Contest: But Seriously 1/26/2017

A sensuous write with a heavy sigh ending. My admiration for the strength of women who keep us from venturing into situations that we may ultimately live to regret. On the other hand...

I can resonate with this astounding poem-- to surrender or restrain from the first stirring of passion-- well delivered.

Totally enticing poem! I can recall the feeling of one of those nights when attraction flows and she bows out. You create an intriguing story proving the how illustrious a poet you are!.
