Boris Hopek's Tokyo Exhibit:"Ever" |
Unhook…unclip…while slow we slip and sway;
dispense pretense; begin the dance risqué.
Soft breaths imply...intensify…convey…
igniting heat, scent moist and sweet; replay.
Caress, digress; find youthful lust astray--
no rings, no strings to hinder this ballet.
We feed the need and shun the roles we play;
adrift to sift the remnants of that day.

oo la la...you were right this is a bit different for you but well written...it has a great rhythm to it that accentuates the verse...smiles
ReplyDelete*Blushing!* Aww, gee...thanks Brian!
DeleteVery well handled and very erotic. Congrats.
ReplyDeleteThe internal rhyme is delicious.
ReplyDeleteThis is great, Ginny! Erotic poetry...good erotic poetry...is hard to come by. It's a fine line that separates coy and playful from blunt and overt.
ReplyDeleteCheers,
Mark Butkus
Thanks Mark, quite different from my usual writing, but fun to stretch and try something new. (Blunt and overt is definitely not my style!)
Deletewhew...i like... lovely wordplay and rhythm...and feeling a bit warm now...smiles
ReplyDeleteThanks Claudia. I learn by reading from the best!
DeleteFun rhythm and rhyme as the strings came undone and she had her fun.

ReplyDeleteAh, the dance of love...sexy!
ReplyDeleteNothing wrong with writing about lust..ha..ha...this is a nice sensual poem ~
ReplyDeleteVery straightforward appeal to the senses. Great erotic poem.
ReplyDeleteI liked your word-play in this evocative poem.
ReplyDeleteoooh Ginny I say you are getting naughty... are we a bad influence on you haha! (just kidding). Well managed monorhyme (it can be cumbersome and monotonous if not written well in my humble opinion, great job here :)
ReplyDeleteLuke, not a bad influence surely, but definitely an influence!! I will admit that this was in no small way influenced by Julie and the wonderful sensuality in her writing and words. I kept that in mind throughout writing this. Am my own worst critic though, and while this surely may have benefited from the board, was my usual timid self about posting. Still feel like a "poser" among such amazing writers. Appreciate your kind words!
Deletepowerful repeating words.
ReplyDeleteamazing imagery.
sizzling, sensual, a rhythm that exudes passion ~ thank you for such a hot response and linking to Poetry Jam!
ReplyDeletedani ♥
hmmmmm interesting. It's coincidental that I read this tonight when I'm tying myself up in knots (ha ha pun) over issues of a sexual nature. I could hug you right now. <3
