"BAD BOY!" (warmly sensual)

BALLADE: For those who've been asking for something new. 😏

"BAD BOY!"

Tell me, Sweet One, if you've the nerve,
how is it that you love to play?
Is it warm with a touch of verve,
that softly steals the breath away,
and makes all tight resistance sway?
Whatever you say, we can do.
Come on now, you can have your way;
for, I'm a bad boy ... it is true!

Don't worry if your values swerve,
not all is black 'n white ~ there's gray;
and, with our colors that best serve...
we'll look no further than today.
There are no rules left to obey;
for now, there's only me and you.
So, let's lie down and come what may;
for, I'm a bad boy ... it is true!

Your breasts are rising, I observe ...
the sparkle in your eyes betray
your yearning 'neath each writhing curve.
Oh, heavens knows we can't delay!
The essence of your sweet bouquet
excites me, Dearest, through and through.
You're wet and warm, a lush buffet;
for, I'm a bad boy ... it is true!

You say, "Don't go," that I must, “stay!”
Yes, I'll remain, don’t misconstrue...
yet, too long, would be your dismay;
for, I'm a bad boy ... it is true!

This is a Bad Boy one night stand with luscious words to bring him to her in colorful way; even though t may be gray; Your descriptions of him and his lady friend are vividly clear; there seems to be a rush to passion which is what it's all about. Nicely done
Best, B

There's no doubt you've delved into the core of this rather risqué homage to steamy sensuality and male bravado, getting it spot-on correct.
It's so wonderful sharing with someone what "gets" it!

Thank you ever-so warmly for your lovely compliment, too … hugs! ⁓ Richard 🍃

I knew you didn’t forget me, how could you?😊

Betty dear,
That's a question I surely cannot answer. ; )

Well Richard, there you go again! Stopping me in my tracks with yet another beautifully composed sensual write! Wonderful Ballade...and your perfect ending refrains! I'm not sure any woman can resist such a bad boy! Such pure desires play out in this wonderful write and wrap the reader up warmly. This bad boy is such a good boy lol ;-) tsk tsk on that bad boy for even thinking about leaving and causing any dismay! I really enjoyed this read today Richard. A lovely distraction on a cold and rainy day.

I don't mind stopping you, if you don't mind being stopped for a peek into such a nicely warming moment shared.

Thank you ever-so sincerely for your lovely compliment, and for enjoying your delightful stop along the way.

Coziest hugs to thee! ⁓ Richard 🍃

Very nice erotica, much to be preferred to the crudeness of porn. It would be interesting to hear it set to music.

[Richard🖌]

Thank you, John 🤜✫🤛

For looking-in on this rather warm little number.
I'd not thought of it as a song, but now that you mention it, there is a nice rhythmic lilt and flow streaming throughout.

Bless you with warm, sunny days! ⁓ Richard 🍃

I'm taking the plunge and going to use my lunch break to write one of these.
You always make these look so easy, but we know that is not the case.
Your poetry is flawless and moving who could ask for more.

[Richard🖌]

Ohhh-BOY, Cherrie! 😃

You know jussst what to say to make a grateful bard's heart smile and dance.
I can't wait to read your rendition of the Ballade … I know you'll do a excellent and creative job (in your own special style) with this challenging format.

And, thank you, Dear Lady-Poet, for the much appreciated, blush-worthy accolades.
Warmest hugs to Thee! ⁓ Richard 🍃

PS I may need more than one lunch break to write this one. Shooting from the hip will not work.
