I thought you the Master of Expression
               Your verbal dexterity
     Word play, a rarity: perfection
     Nothing could be more eloquent
           Nothing on earth as fine
    Nothing as beautifully sublime
              As that rhyme, that line
                 Or so I thought
            Or so I believed until….
               Your body spoke to me
 And your words paled in the eloquence
                Of your touch

Your lips moist from dying syllables 
             Closed over mine
        Melting the last of them
               All over my lips
   the heat of your pilgrim tongue
       Make letters come undone
                One by one
          

  Connotations and denotations of
                  Desire
                All expire
And are reborn in sensations new
       rebirthed in your touch
          meanings refined 
        as our souls aligned
    and our bodies intertwined

The flight of your flirting fingers flutter
     Eliciting Electra Ecstasy
       Syntax of sensuality
Spoken over the curves of my body
       releasing........me
      
In "voice" thick with emotions  yet silent to sound 
you spoke.....
    I heard….
              “I want to claim you,” your eyes intimated
                   “I want to know your every hidden place” your hands demanded
                        “I will taste you until I’m drunk,” your tongue teased
And with the wonder of manhood you thundered, 
            “I will possess you and make you mine.”


               Corpora of copulation reality
                          Soon to be
         You~~~ made~~~ love~~~ to~~~me
                In punctuation ecstasy
                        sexy synergy
             of my mind and your body
                       A pause     here
                Bated breath begging
                      “Go on, go ON!”
    Comma upon comma, you carefully placed
              poignant pauses to separate
      the onslaught of your list of sensual treats
    drawing me on that exclamation culmination
                         FULFILLMENT
                       Of you...and me…
    Eloquence of oneness beyond word degree
	                 Silent serenity
                   let eternity now just BE
            
            I thought your words were divine
                     Perfection of Pleasure
                    Wonderment of wonder
                  Eloquence extraordinaire
                 incomparable linguistic flare

                    But your words paled

             The day your body spoke to me

Fictitious, of course, and pornographic. I mean, if we consider pornography something that is show/ represented only inside reality, copying reality and only reality, reproducing reality itself without any form of 'beauty' or copying forms of 'beauty' in a cliche-istic way that could bore to death... Well, 'Your body spoke to me' could also be a title of a flick. you're good. you're feelings are human cause you can write about. which is fun

Ooh la la fun!!! Oh, yes! :) Thanks, Richard. I just sort of let the format go all over the place. My muse comes and goes....silly muse. I'm so proud of you for making the POTW. That's the way to go, Richard. It is a beautiful poem about Broken People. Well I know the theme...well I've lived it. Hugs

The promise of infinite pleasure takes a fuller and more electric meaning when the moment arrives for words to be replaced by action! Excellent build-up, Eileen! Hugs // paul

This is even better than your previous writes on same subject, Eileen. The lines just speak passion! Love the line "Your lips from dying syllables..." and "the heat of your pilgrim tongue// Make letters come undone // One by one" Wow! Stunning!
