Heady, potent.

(inhale)
~
Your syrup
Lines my throat,
~
(exhale)
~
As the taste
Lingers
On my tongue.
~
(inhale)
~
My fingers,
Like pushpins
On a map,
Where you've been.
~
(exhale)
~
Your presence felt.
~
(in too deep)
~
Let's spend
The rest of our days,
Treading those familiar
Pathways.
~
(not deep enough)
~
On each other's
Bodies,
Like a favourite hiking trail,
Where the seeing scents
Of pine, moist grass, and snowdrops
Fills me with joy,
~
(in too deep)
~
Like your own warm,
Moist and thick aroma.
~
(not deep enough)
~
Trace the lines —
That sparkle under lowlight —
Glistening, slick.
~
(inhale)
~
Watching as you
Take your own trip,
With lips and fingers,
Swallowing whole
The fragrant
Landmark,
Monument
Of my lust.
~
(exhale)
~
Passion explored,
Desire never fully
Conquered.

Oh, this is fabulous. I appreciated the breathing instructions, as sometimes when I get worked up, I forget how. That swallowing stanza is 🔥🔥. Something in that stanza reminds me of John Donne’s “To His Mistress Going to Bed,” you know the “O my America” bit. Deliciously sensual.
Oh my.... I could feel my cheeks turning red. You started out very strongly, then brought in some insane metaphors and then just.... finished?
A poem that reads like the novel 'Fifty shades of gray'.
I knew when I started reading this it would make me blush. Just glad I wasn't at work this time. The imagery woven in your words was...um...maybe a little too vivid? Honestly, it was a very well written poem and I really loved your use of white space and breathing. There are so many things you did so well in this piece, I would love to comment in greater detail but I'm just too much of a lady.
Such a sensual sensory experience... Great work as always Papa Paul!!!
These lines are pure poetry and ones that linger long after we read. I feel there is a personal meaning that only you ( and one other) know about in these words
This is delightfully sensuous! Majestic as always, sir Paul!
As usual, a wonderful intertwine
