Hot Night
Heavy air,
thick with moisture.
Satin drapings
cling to undisclosed curves.
Tangled, eager sheets
climb my legs.
Fingers snarl
in my tussled hair,
And,
sweat shimmers,
a tingling sheen,
glossing taught muscles,
as my body
rises to greet
an errant sultry breeze

I really like this, there's an air of anticipation there that I love.
Nice.
Very slow, languid visuals.
The morning after the night before, or the moments that follow an encounter all too brief...
A warrior princess arising from her toil, another broken would-be suitor left in her wake...
Our vampire queen, her feeding frenzy over, post-orgasmic and feline graceful, a red tint to her grin...
Eccellente mio bello
Thanks, Candice! I love to see other interpretations of this poem. Poetry was my first literary love.
Tsavo,
Thanks! I love where your mind goes. :)
Savannah,
You (and Anubis) have set me thinking about what (and how) I write, so I'm currently experimenting with something outside of my usual range. Drop by at some point and keep an eye out for a piece called "Officially...": it's not me setting up shop on someone else's turf, just me giving something new a whirl.
[Damn, now I've announced it I've got no choice but to finish and post it... ; )]
And I'm glad you appreciate the images your poetry inspired. I felt kind of guilty as I was posting the comment, almost as if I was ripping you off, but I just loved the different contexts the poem suggested and had to share them.
As for what you should post next as a follow-up to Anubis... that m'dear is entirely up to you. Suffice to say I'm a regular visitor now...
"Turf", Tsavo? So... should I, like, pee on everything and mark my territory?? :P Sorry, but I had to. I don't mind if you say, "Hey, come and look at this..."
NP on the comments you posted earlier. Really. I love to see what that poem brings out in others.
I'm kicking around what to post next. I've got more than a few scenes in mind; some dark, some sexy, some both. :)
I'm glad you're a regular!!
