    Your Erotic Metaphorical Flavors

    Your Erotic Metaphoric Flavors   You are coconut fudge and cherry cream images I see when thinking about you; a savory truffle that splashes butter cream in my mouth as I kiss your inner thighs. *** Tangerine spice and minty green sensations float around my skin as you lay with me amidst an apple tree breeze while wrapping...

    • hello dearest Styxian this is very beautiful, sensual and romantic…I have a garden dream to I always picture wisdom is there walking through the garden having philospohical conversations with Eve it is a curious thing… this is beautifully written and your metaphors are just right to evoke deep feeling ❤️

    • Hey Crims! I’ve edited this one so many times, trying to get the rhymes and meter tight. I’m not much into this type anymore, but it’s good practice for my ol’ brain. LOL
      Thanks for letting me know that the effort paid off!

    • I love this. The rhyming is sooo good!
      Dare I say perfect, yes I think I will.
      I think about your back yard and all the hibiscus 🌺 back there.
      This isn’t too far fetched 🙂

      Love it and you!

      • Well my love, no flower compares to you!
        Don’t forget the monster bougainvillea! (yes, i had to look up that spelling, LOL). It’s taking over the yard! Wanna come play gardener with me?

    • Beautifully penned, Mark. A very passionate write indeed my friend. Excellent work as always. Appreciate you.

      Damian

      • Hello Sir Damian!
        I don’t write many rhyme/meter poems much. It’s hard for me to get deep into my feels if I do. Freestyle is my obvious choice, because I can detail them better. But any rate, I do attempt to test some creative builds like this from time to time. And no, no AI assist either. (Seems many do lean on AI nowadays).
        Anyway, thanks dude. I enjoy your dropping by’s !

    • Look at you going all rhymey! This is so lovely, well done.
      ❤️k

      • Hey you!
        This was a major task to write! And several edits to get it to where I’m satisfied with it. I’m proud of it for the effort verses the result it took. So when I get any acknowledgement for it, I can breathe a sigh of relief! Thank you!

    • This has such a ye olde sonnet vibe to it. It flows and builds great imagery. Trying to write in a rhyming fashion fractures my brain. Well done!

    • Trust me, it wrecked my brain big time! I hacked at it quite alot. I actually had some more “ye olde sonnet” type words in it, but took them out because I didn’t want it to seem pretentious. If that makes sense. I also doubt that I can ever write one quite as solid as this one, as far as the build of it. again. Maybe if I break out the old pencil and paper, so I can erase a hundred times. LOL. (I still write on paper sometimes, because it holds a unique touch to me.
      Good to see you Willow. Hope you are well and enjoying life!

    • I’m not used to seeing rhymes from you so this was a pleasant surprise. Your poems are always a pleasure to read. Great job here, this to me is a dedication poem and one well written.

    • Hello Tim. I started out as a rhyming kid. LOL. But as I got older and read more contemporary material, it changed my preferences. It was more in tune with my “feelings”.
      But, I have a few attempts here and there, to stay mentally sharp I suppose. So I appreciate the nod for my result. these ain’t easy for me. If for anyone.

    The Taste of Synonym

    THE TASTE OF SYNONYM     The odor of stale beer danced with the steel blue smoke, while Ska beats filled the air with electricity.   As the room filled, a thousand words spoke all at once, loudly, making it seem like a small riot. Amidst the noise of confusion and polemical...

    • Very clever, for starters. And you carried the story theme along so well. It’s a read for creative thinkers who wanna frolic. LOL
      It isn’t so trippy that I couldn’t stay with it. Great write.

      • Frolic away, my friend! I am glad you enjoyed the read, Styxian, it is always good to see you on one of my poems.

    • Hi ValuptasUnholyWhisper!!! If that is you in the avatar (photo), it is nice to see your smiling face, and welcome to my poetic garden. And it is my pleasure to have “captivated” you.

      perhaps you might also like Deep Forest, and Enya? These are some of my “trippy” musical treats from the 90’s. I’m listening to Enya’s “Watermark” as I type this reply.

      Anyway, I love when you visit, thank you for time and words.

    • The places this one took me…You held this one on the crest of wave after wave of poetic brilliance. It was the faded tight jeans that locked me in and kept me rolling with it

      • Hi Willow! This poem, its internal mix of emotion is one of the poems I am most proud of. While it is a play on words, it is also the way “faded jeans and flannel shirt”, makes it more real, more conversational. I am glad you noticed this and more that you got hooked by it and brought you deeper into the poem. Thank you!

    I lose Control

    I JUST LOSE CONTROL (It amazes me. Take a song from a long time ago, add a conversation with a close friend, and kiss your Muse. Here is what happens.)     “ooh ooh baby when you’re near me, I just lose control. I feel the earth...

    • so very lovely and refreshingly romantic ❤️

      • Crimsin! So nice of you to visit and leave me such wonderful words on this poem. I hope you don’t mind, I sent you a friends request and will visit your page to read some of your works.

        Thanks again.

    • Mary, Mary, HI and Hello and I am out of control seeing that you are here, leaving me an “amazing”. Okay Curt, calm down, behave, it’s your friend Mary. Stay in control, she likes your poem, everything is okay! Hi Mary, this is the “nice” redzone. I come once in a while cause Curt is excitable, especially when Valuptas is visiting and “whispers” at one of his poems. If his excitement bothers you, just bop him upside his head. 🌹

    • WHEEEE, redzone is excited and dancing around… UPSIDE DOWN!!!! er.. ;0)

    No Diggity

    No Diggity (revolution is real and will be televised)   Damn girl, work it with them beats moving your sway and the jazz is sweet.   The beat drops into California rockin’, Tupac lays down the rifs; west coast east coast, shakin’, shakin’, there’s an uprisin’ in the clubs tonight.   Damn people, rockin’ east coast west coast worldwide...

    • I know, I know. I need to do this, make an audio. I’m kind of scared it will sound like shit. Maybe I should do an AI version. And Canva is a good app to use for this?!

      Thanks Mary.

    • I can feel the movement in this! It’s got some heat on the burner!
