Compass

Cuddling, at its finest.

Here, the sound of melting thoughts

chime words warmer than honey

and,

sweet nothings pour out of lips,

that are anything but empty.

Tangled knees wrap around

the wrinkles of a cottonwood blanket;

continents of skin lie underneath,

joining together like Pangea,

they are one,

Two lovers wanderlust

for skin left dusty and dry;

Sinking into each other's compass,

no land was left unexplored.

Your little poem packs a powerful punch! Lovely capture of an exquisite (I'm sure) moment it time... 'joining together like Pangea/they are one' is brilliant... as is 'Sinking into each other's compass...' Altogether it is both innocent and sneakily bawdy (the last line was telling). Excellent work, Ally! Seems spending a little time away from the WC is doing wonders for you all around... ;)

hahahha that is has! I've been occupied I suppose :P This poem was originally meant to be innocent, but I figured, why not? And threw in the last line lol
Thanks! :)

this one left a smile behind my eyes... the emotion is real and evident.

Short, but sweet! I enjoyed this to death. The imagery did its job and drew me in thoroughly, and the flow, alongside the simplicity of it all, kept me engaged til' the end. Good work!

[Ally Monique]

Thank you very much :)

The imagery is brilliant, as is the whole metaphor. Lovely poem.

[Ally Monique]

Thanks I tend to focus on my imagery so that means a lot!

[Michael (Letters and Li..]

You always have amazing imagery in your writing! Every piece gets better and better. I enjoy your work very much! :)

I just felt a lot of innocence and it made me go soft and softer. I have to fight this sort of feelings not sure why it makes me feel uncofrtable with myself. That said there is no influence over your wting as I can picture how this unfolded even. So the image of a melting thought dissipating into randomness does not mean empty as it is filled with touch and a feeling that says to me you are wanted!.

Heart warming

Thankyou

Short but dripping with sweetness.
Love this little one from you. :-)
It's these moments in a relationship that are so wonderful. The sweet nothin's. Together.

[Ally Monique]

"continents of skin lie underneath"....great image...

"sinking into each other's compass" very sensual but with warm fuzzy kind of feeling mentally and emotionally, almost more than physically...

when the sweet nothings are really filled with meaningful intent...the emptiness evaporates.

[Ally Monique]

Thank you Jacob :) The purpose of this piece was to trigger that warm fuzzy feeling- despite the hint of sexual content at the end, so I'm glad to hear it ^_^

I really like the way your poem retains a kind of innocence, in spite of the subject. Romantic and wholesome.

[Ally Monique]

Thank you :) I like to make my pieces as innocent as possible..one of these days I might have to change that haah

[John Anderson]

[Ally Monique]
