Notes About The Poem

You Tempt Me

You tempt me
As I sense your presence by my side
The whisper of your flowing silken dress
A whiff of fragrant jasmine scent.
 
You tempt me
With each flicker of your doe-brown eyes
Shadowed in lilac hues and full dark lashes
A smile, partly concealed on pouting lips.
 
You tempt me
With curvaceous waves of long black hair 
Cascading by glowing peach-rose cheeks  
Rising, falling on your breast with every breath. 
 
You tempt me
As you stand against the evening light
The Aphrodite of my dreams and fantasies
Seductive, alluring and desirable.
 
I temp you 
As gently I pull back my straying hair 
Nestled on the fullness of my breast
Exposing what your famished eyes are feasting on.
 
I tempt you
In silent expectation my body glows 
With purpose of fulfilment I slowly make my way to you
My haloed shadow dances on your rigid form.
 
I tempt you
Breathless, you lean against the wall
My desires surging at this sign of weakness
Within inches of your body, I languidly pause.
 
I tempt you
Sensuously, at satin ribbons my fingers pull 
Until my struggling gown hesitantly quivers 
Before it glides and gathers at my feet.
 
I tempt you
Grounded by wanton cravings, I look you in the eyes
I simply smoulder there within your reach 
The final vestige of abstinence still lingers in the air.
 
I tempt you
Then I lean in, my breath is warm upon your check 
Against your heaving chest my breasts now brush 
I breathe and whisper softly “Come to me.”
 
I tempt you
Inveigled in this rare moment, my heart bursts 
As you crush my body tightly against yours
You taste the temptress kiss that frees your needs.
 
I tempt you
For my heart has long been tempted
By strong unquenched desires 
For you.

A Repost of a collaboration with Paul Callus

Connie Marcum Wong April 10, 2016 at 5:27 AM Wow...the two of you are magic! I love this sensuous piece Eileen and Paul! I feel as if I have just watched a steamy movie! Outstanding! #7. ; )

Timothy Hicks April 7, 2016 at 10:12 PM Not only sensual and playful ... but also powerful and strong with the way you switch perspectives like that. I've never read a poem that did that before, and I must say, it's much more captivating to get the other perspective in there! (it's two after all, and not one, that makes it magic) ... great collab you two!

Poet Tacito April 3, 2016 at 11:15 AM That is the most attractive wall I've ever seen. Now, my strongest temptation is to go to Home Depot and buy something to lay on the ground...because I know I "can do it"...and they "can help", or so their motto says. Yay, double entendres! Eileen Manassian April 3, 2016 at 6:46 PM Yea....good one, Drake. I'm glad you're back. Been thinking of you. Glad you liked this piece. Hugs
