Clouds of Vermillion

I stand alone without the muse


Reflecting carousels dancing in the moonlight

As the harlequin gypsy colours a checkerboard sky

Simple words dance when spoken from a musing

Whisper me a love born of a serene heart 

 

Drawn in honey’d liquor lips of succulent choice

Dream in shadows of receding dawnscapes 

Slender is an arched back caressed by a golden tongue

Trace contours of love gifted on a dew coated skin

 

From the pillow we can watch the moon rise

Let me drift into obscure dreaminess

Imagination paints soundscapes in mother of pearl

Silent shadows cast memories of a time not forgotten

 

Forever be the Jester wearing a silken skin forever

Taste a glistening finger, wet, salty to the tongue

Yet our eyes shall meet in a pre dawn escapade

Let me glide the tip on this love forevermore

 

Lay

Forever

On clouds of Vermilion

i love the way the thoughts reach their crescendo...kind of a culmination of what was felt and etched

A very intense poem!

Sexy and provocative. I particularly like the moth references, the golden tongue line and the mother of pearl image. Vivid, and bright, if one allows the imagery to float through the imagination in technicolor.
