The Night

Come to me dressed in nothing but the night,
With just a touch of moon upon your brow;
Your lips, aflutter, ravens’ wings in flight,
Your eyes a sea of secrets meant to stow.

Undress the silence covertly with me,
Till every word unspoken glistens nude;
Longings whispered run furious and free,
Upon the peaks of passion to be strewed.

In places dark I’ll trace the silk of you,
Till swelling sighs crescendo in a scream;
Untill the deepest bud its essence spews
Upon the moistened petals of this dream.

If dawn strips every dream of tender heat,
Love smoulders still under a crumpled sheet.

Hi
I see your poem may not look erotic. But for few it's true love that inspires every second to live for him.
I read misunderstandings and lessons learned make bond strong. Arguments and fight destroys the love in each other.
I see character and behaviour definitely defines the bond. I wonder for couples it's not. Every mistake they share keeps the bond making from breaking it. I don't know when I have not seen you kind. I see animals in kind and they speak to me with less of words to say.

Your emotions carry more of love than erotica if I misunderstood erotic word.

You write this kind of writes where only a person in love could express, you look as great as one more shakespeare the world has got. I definitely like to share these poems to world where a cunningness could decrease and people start being nice.

I am your first and big fan of you. It's not I don't like your other way of erotica but I don't want to see nudity even in clothing.
This love of bee and fly is a open scene and I see a noc for them. And it never felt fly is misusing flower but just loving you so much 💗.

You can write ✍️ good and bad . But make worth of even when writing bad. It will definitely inspire everyone.

Thanks a lot for the inspiring words, Jessy. Your words mean a lot to me. Yes, even in these words, somewhere, there is love. And that's such a wonderful feeling. Have a beautiful day, my friend.

This is a passionate piece.

Intriguing, exciting and inviting towards the reader.

Powerful start, and then into the exploration of each stanza.

Truly well written and captivating read.

[Curly Grace]

Such a lush, atmospheric piece the night feels almost alive in your hands. I love how the final couplet settles everything into a quiet, lingering warmth. It’s tender, vivid, and beautifully crafted.

[Michael Sun Bear]

I think you have written a beautiful, really interesting poem of eroticism. Some of your lines are so creative I have read it through again to really appreciate your creation.

[Thomas W Case]

This is old‑world heat written with modern hunger, lush but unafraid to sweat.
You let beauty burn here, not to impress, but to prove desire can still speak in full sentences.

Thomas, your reveiw means a lot. Thank you very much.

oh, wow, I shouldn't have read this at work! Your poem is lush and sensuous, drenched in vivid, erotic imagery. The extended metaphors create a dreamlike, almost cinematic intimacy. I absolutely loved this piece!

Thank you Kenneth! I'm humbled. 🙏

Very nice handling of erotica here. I have long believed the best erotica contains no vulgarity, and you have achieved that goal with basic imagery. Well done.

[BuzzyB]

Your comment is very encouraging. Sometimes, a single review like this one is enough. Thank you John.
