~~~***taunt~~~taste~~~kiss***~~~

By A Velvet Tongue

Sing to me of honey
sing to me of rain
sing to me of passion
sing to me of pain

...............weave in me a fineness
...............none to match or trade
...............weave in me a vision
...............a hue to ne'er fade


speak to me of silence
speak to me of loss
speak to me of failure
speak to me of cost

...............paint in me a picture
...............framed in velvet fair
...............paint me on a canvas
...............my flesh soft and bare

taste me on a tuesday
taste me in the night
taste me on a platter
taste me without sight

...............render me a soverign
...............bathed a scarlet dark
...............render me a pupil
...............my soul a muted lark

free in me a boundary
free in me a stone
free in me a soltice
free in me this moan

...............taunt me in the winter
...............when spring in sleepy rest
...............taunt me in the moonlight
...............just underneath my breast

hush in me this longing
hush in me this hiss
hush in me this craving
hush me with a kiss..

    I love it! Your style is addicting... Scholar

  • A former member wrote: mmmm mmmm this is tasty shweet! For so much rhyme, it really does not overwhelm, the obtuse choice of words and capture of seductive sentiment seems to carry through... such form, such structure and yet still somehow boundless and reaching eternal... the Scholar

  • A former member wrote: slight change in the last line is very nice parting touch.... Scholar

  • A former member wrote: Amazing, positively amazing. Your writing captivated me and drew me deeper into its message; gentle at the beginning, bittersweet and lustful towards the end. Magnificent. Scholar

  • A former member wrote: Simple. Nice. no twists or turns here, closed the way one would predict, and in fact would be disappointed to be wrong in this case. I enjoyed it. :)
