How you move,
like
a
dynamic flirt.
Hungry hands,
I’m anxious
to guide them.
Dusted
with
ice and indigo,
deliberate art.
Mango flavor
blast,
stark pop of sunshine.
Inflamed
deep freeze
rebels
in alliance
bare hands
are what will nullify
the Empire.
Redolent
moon bath
evaporates
force from my skin
Rejuvenated
closed eyes
bubbly beam suspired.
Sudden
undressed rehearsal;
Improv,
such sensual blocking;
Scene erased
rewritten in lipstick,
alternate ending.
Drown piffle,
petulantly trying to
rise;
Fish rushing
against the stream
extant
and well.
Buck up
the
night
is shining
A beacon of stardust
glitters
to light the way.
Bubbles
of caffeine;
Floating,
making me sweat;
Passion
bobbles around
fed on frozen coffee.
Snow drop moonshine
star threaded
blanket;
Partied hard;
Squandered
your light
elevating in dreams.
Sheets of words
soothingly
caress me;
Invigorating;
Silken whispers
breathe perspiration
upon my ears.
Brevity
gives you courage
and strength
Chances are few,
grab them
while
you can.
A
pitiful scream
sits
barely heard;
Simmering
to a boil
until the floor burns.
Pulling words
from thoughts
is daunting.
Breaking words
in two
thoughts:
what I’m wanting.
—————
The Septolet is a verse of exactly 14 words, expressed in a tercet and quatrain, in either order. The two parts should work together.
A jump
into
cold water
Sliding cares away
springs surge, you chill;
Sweet
decompression.
Grateful
to remain free
you gave all
We will
continue
to make you
proud.
