Notes About The Poem

Smoldering

She feels the need rising up from her core
Ever waiting to burst into fire
Insatiable, always in need for more

Smoldering ember of her desire 
Orange heat pulsating from deep within
Ever waiting to burst into fire

No breeze can cool this, her hot searing skin
Savage her need to combust into flame
Orange heat pulsating from deep within 

Her galloping passion wild and not tame
She rides fiery flares all through the night
Savage her need to combust into flame

The hunger in her eyes makes him ignite
She pulls him into her internal blaze
She rides fiery flares all through the night

His body kindling that lights in her gaze
She feels the need rising up from her core
She pulls him into the internal blaze
Insatiable, always in need of more

This is a post I love to read, Paul. Thank you, my dear. Yes, my defense is soon, June 4. Please pray for me. I'm working on the reference list still. I need to work on the powerpoint for the presentation. Thursday, June 4, is my heaviest teaching day, so I hope that I'm alert enough at 5:00 pm for the presentation. You know...I'm only worried about my emotional state. So much rides on that. ;) Pray for me. I need this all behind me. :) Thanks for asking...Hugs

Smoldering, blazing hot terzanelle! The form is perfect for the subject and you've written with such talent and skill that I wonder how come you were able to post without a computer combustion! lol! As I said, between you and FJ, it's back to warm weather at Soup! A 7, of course. hugs!

Thanks, Andrea. It's actually a repost, but I find Terzanelle hard to do, so I thought I'd post something I'd already done and see the reactions. This is great. Thanks!

Your poem is sensual, the story line was well laid out with passion burning through the words. A well written engrossing poem filled with sexual energy that electrify the carnal currents that flow throughout your words. Emile. #7

:) Why thank you, Emile. This was a lovely visit and post. I'm very touched by your lovely analysis of my work. Hugs...BTW...your name has always been a favorite of mine. I started working on a novel when I was fifteen...the broken man....The love interest of the heroine who died in a war was EMILE. :)
