Verdandi's Plan

What’s to be?  You and me, 
brought together by goddess of fate, Verdandi..
Reverie ...our first night; 
your voice caressed me in a rose petal red cascade,
nuances of your soul 
as intoxicating as eau de vie brandy
as you sensuously swept me 
through the sultry sway of your serenade…


...so many years since, 
so many nights now estranged, so many ‘firsts’ forgotten,
was this part of Verdandi’s plan 
that our love is meant to be misbegotten?
What happened to your belief 
of our paths' merged by Divine intervention?
Was it ever in your heart 
or just your imaginary romantic invention...


Undress me and redress me!  
Atone my aroused body, heart and mind!
I’ll taste you, toast you, savor your wanton wine, 
inhale and breathe you in;
deliver me your ecstasies erotic 
to realms exotic I’d never find,
fill me, thrill me, strum my strings till I sing; 
stroke me I’m your violin.


Let me temptingly tease your rising tide 
and I’ll ride your wild waves higher,
embrace me, love me 
and together let’s revel in rolling rhythmic swells;
take me in your arms, 
pin me with your carnal charms and aching desire,
rock me, quake me 
shock me, shake me, I’m your lily-belle mademoiselle 

From Heaven to Hell and back again, 
take me, spin my world counter-clockwise.
Remember ...when your fervor 
first whirlwind-twirled me in a ravishment of ‘I love you’...
Satiate me, 
with a lust that grows and shows aglow in your elsewhere eyes,
rekindle us; 
it’s not too late, evaporate the cooling dew on heartstrings blue.

My dear friend, please forgive my delay in responding to your precious comments, I’m still spending more time with my Dad due to his health issues. I’m so pleased you enjoyed my poem, which was part of my ‘Wild Mango Fandango’ phase :)) Your warm words fill me with delight as does your wonderful visit and fave, Mike.
