STIR

“Curiosity is also my worst vice, and once stirred one not to be denied.” Anthony Ryan My love contains lavender and elements of surprise Like a warm wet whimsical wave Lose yourself in my chocolate eyes Find fuchsia freedom hazel happy place The sight of me a delightful blue breeze Warming your red southern region Making green spring and all your dreams Red hot despite current season Dip your toes in my sensual soul Stir stare cherry care if you dare My emerald embrace engaging close And thick as my long brown hair Drink up my love in crimson cup Enjoy an auto amethyst refill Your passion fruit makes me blush Encouraging new stirring new teal thrill Like a flower bloom I open for you And curiosity paints a yellow sky We caramel kiss submit to cupid’s truth Trying new things licorice lovers delight

Karen, I find this to be a stimulating and evocative expression of sensuality. The concept of attraction is a natural and beautiful aspect of human existence, and the prospect of experiencing pleasure is truly delightful. The vivid imagery you use to evoke feelings of romance is truly captivating.

Karen, this is quite erotic and sensual. Attraction is a wonderful and normal part of life and the idea of finding pleasure brings a smile to my face. I think it takes some courage and vulnerability to write a poem like this.

Duke sadly I don’t know any other way to write. When I research a subject and then write about it it’s ok but not inspired or as kinetic in my opinion. Thanks for reading my shameless attempts at poetry. Lol hugs Duke
