Eros

I welcomed you into my personal cosmos,

Beckoning to you with open, craving arms,

We glowed like moonlight, a pair of nocturnal lovers.

Consumed by longing for the touch of your velvet kisses

Against my pale, luminescent skin; delicate as the

Brush of a moth’s wing.

You traced a line along the contours of my body, painting me with your

Voracious artist’s eyes.

Your gentle words of admiration soothed my

Desirous, aching heart and enflamed my loins,

As we became a burning constellation, entwined

In our own clandestine universe.

Clandestine Universe, wicked line. your paring of words is amazing, you give them such meaning, I love reading the work of writers who understand the importance of diction or who make their poetry surround such tool in order to stand out and make it unique, rather than challenging the reader in a need to feel competent.

Oh my, thank you :)

Can I make a suggestion. Please don't take offense.....sometimes its nice to add a phone. (I am a very visual reader and an accompanying phone can really add to a white.)

[Sarah Conder]

It may because I'm new to this website, but I'm not sure I understand your meaning of phone in this context...

[Steve]

sorry. I meant to type photo. This is just a suggestion. I hope it doesn't appear rude to suggest this.

[Sarah Conder]

Ah, I see! It's fine, I understand that some people enjoy having something visual as well, I think for the moment I'll just allow the reader to use their imagination :)

[Steve]

ok, That's fine. :0)

[Steve]

I too was enamored by these lines:

I was reminded of the Girl With The Pearl Earring. This is a very sensuous yet delicate piece. I liked this very much.

Thank you lovely :)
