Notes About The Poem
Ink Empress' Pyramid Of Peace Contest...15 Jul 26

Your Fingers Around My Soul

Flavor of rain,  herbal.....clear 
   like broth lingering on your lips ,
          relishing a taste of limey brew--
  its vapor beguiles my senses
                   with undulated abandon...

           For a moment time freezes
        in trembled trance, the monsoon rivering
                 as your kiss seeps inside the bones,
    and in gradual mount of liquid thrill
                       the concave grip kneading
into an embrace within
                one evening's quiver rescues me,

               Reminding  me how surrender
      can be subtle like the slow movement
                     from piety to rawness of gust,
               gathering all that's aflame
 and gentle...           and  I will wrap
      your fingers around my soul
                      through hidden blue of eyes , 
                that cleavage of spine 
dressed in lavish caresses, 
                            that nothing else will fulfill me

...but the nectar of our misted dew.
