Past Carolina

Past Carolina

 

 

I am fresh from a shower,

wrapped abundantly

in you

 

you whisper 

that I smell of spring,

of falling rain

 

my hair cascades down,

your fingers traverse

the smooth topography of skin

mapping through southern states

like an atlas…

 

venturing to stay,

past Carolina.

beautiful as always Kelly......

[Kelly Scheppers]

I don't believe we have ever met...but I thank you from the bottom of my heart!

[terry smith]

True art is sometimes in the words not spoken but alluded to. thanks, becoming a fan!

[Kelly Scheppers]

I feel flattered...thank you, Terry!

[Echoes of Eros]

You invite us all into such a tender, sensual moment; this world of your warmth, so smooth and soft. What a beautiful journey across every curve of your landscape. xo

[Kelly Scheppers]

Such a lovely descriptive, Eros...thank you!

[Lydia Shutter]

Mmmmmm.....so dreamy and sensual, Kelly. I do believe this is one you wrote a while ago because I remember some of the lines. Too good to forget! "venturing to stay, past Carolina." :) Love it. Lydi**

[Kelly Scheppers]

Actually, this was one of 10 poems I wrote in an hour and 46 minutes one night back in May! ...it's a record for me!! Thanks so much, Lydi!

[Lydia Shutter]

WOW...you surely were inspired, Kelly! I guess your sensual writing takes me down a wonderful path each time leading me to believe I had traveled in these lines before. Sorry for the mistake....it was a great write. Lydi**

Gosh, Kelly!

Through hills, valleys, curves and bends, the mysteries of beautiful feminine terrain pleases the masculine mind's-eye, like a sensual journey across lovers' soaring dreams … each dip and swell highlighted by the lushness of amazingly suggestive wonder emanating from the satin smoothness of your pic … goodness-ME!

How lucky for me I know just where Carolina is! ; )

From the imagery of verse one, through the gentle season of verse two, down deep into lusty southern regions … the destination makes the drive so enthrallingly worth the trip.

When you compose such breathless Free Verse, the atmosphere takes on a penetrating sunshine glow … for it all, I thank you most warmly, beautiful Kelly! ⁓ Richard

[Kelly Scheppers]

The similarities are intoxicating, the way you unraveled them, Richard! ...as always, thank you!

[Rudi J.P. Lejaeghere]

[just another mac withou..]

[Kelly Scheppers]

'.. like an atlas… venturing to stay, ... past Carolina.'

Not only cleverly conceived but beautifully laid.. Think you've just altered the map.. added a rise of mood on the horizon and then, settled the flow of the stream. Tis such a finely worded poem.. brief, graphic, delightful and more than more when read a second and third time.

[Kelly Scheppers]

What a beautiful light you've cast upon my poem, Emma...thank you for such a warm review!

[emmajoy]

Fourth time: just as beautiful

[Ruth]

Kelly, your poetry always sensually caresses the mastery of art from the heart! Beautiful! :)

[Kelly Scheppers]

...thank you, Poppy...your words mean the world to me!

[Robert]

Venturing to stay, I say so!...Just kidding. Another sensual piece you have written Kelly, so much your forte.

[Kelly Scheppers]

A little history lesson and poetry ALL in one...thank you, Robert, as always!
