Underneath your scarlet spell,
we plunder moments,
lost in translating
complex patterns
of movement and limbs.

Overtaken by your russet delights,
you pamper splendour
sealed with kisses;
your muse of pleasure
interprets my demands and whims.

You remind me how I love you;
a metaphorical pinch
then a physical surrender
to lie side by side
clasping hands.

I don’t pretend I love you,
there is nothing to pretend.

The last two lines completely blew me away. Loved this too:- "Overtaken by your russet delights, you pamper splendour ..." I always wanted to be a red-head, and now I am... Courtesy of L'Oreal (because I'm worth it ;-) Lovely poem for a lovely sunny morning. Tina

I wish I could write like this. Another very moving piece. And as Tina says 'it's a lovely sunny morning', made all the better by Scarlet Spell. Steve

'lost in translating complex patterns of movement and limbs.' - I loved this image Dynamaso! And I'm with Tina, always wanted to be a red head! Excellent piece, well done on the cherry! ;) Magic xxx

Tina, thanks so much for your kind words. Like you, I have always been partial to redheads. I believe this may be because my paternal grandmother was a stunning redhead although I only remember her as my white-haired Nan. Glad you liked the poem and that I was able to make your sunny day a little brighter. :)

Magic, you've picked out my favourite lines from the poem. As for wanting to be one, I know a lot of lovely ladies who would like to be redheads. I wonder why this is? Thanks for reading and I'm pleased you enjoyed this.

Nice poem, Dynasmo. A good balance of intimacy and distance that highlights how humans can be insular and reflective at the same time as they are intensely involved with each other. Nice work.
