Love will never melancholy pale,

sweet though not sugar coated

as music floats about your room

chasing candlelight then dispersing,

 

heavy drapes at window hang

concealing dazzling sunshine,

she lies on musk scented linen

this innocent flush of inner virgin,

 

reaching for emotional desires

searching hills and low valley's,

for this girl is not at all weary

and the boy neither should be,

 

welcome not guilt in this moment,

but like an itch that needs scratching

fall into those crevices where lingers

comfort of youth sealed with a kiss.

 

Suggestion of passion now abides

hooked on their individual odours,

their writhed bodies slowly twisting

like snakes breathing each other in.

 

 

Inspired by listening to

Kate Bush, her

beautiful Album

The Sensual World.

Tremendous.  I was sorry I reached the end.  Until I remembered I  could read it again.  More than well deserved cherry pick.  Took me back nearly fifty years to the urgency of youth in love.

Hi forest,

you got what I was trying to convey perfectly and you were spot on about young love. I was actually taken back to my own teenage years as I wrote this poem.

I'm grateful to you for reading and your nice comment.

Many thanks.

Jenny.

Goodness Jenny that enveloped the reader in a dreamy sensual glow which finished with a hot flush! Brilliant take on the IP.

Hi Linda,

thank you so much for stopping by to read this poem. I love the idea of being able to convey a dreamy sensual glow, then a hot flush...haven't had one of those for many years. wink

Your words are very much appreciated and I hope you are well.

Jenny.

Gentle. Do you know the poem "on the marraige of a virgin" by Dylan Thomas? One of my favourite lines "the moment of a miracle is unending lightning".

Or what about Madonna for that matter! Tom

PS. Thomas Edison said women are like mathematics, he could never understand either.

“The great question that has never been answered and which I have not been able to answer, despite my thirty years research into the feminine soul, is “What does a woman want?”

Said by none less than Sigmund Freud himself &&

Hi Tom, 

I have to say that I'd sadly not read the poem by Dylan Thomas, but I will certainly check it out.

I'm thinking that you are talking about Madonna's record, Like A Virgin. It sounds like a good title for the poem, but I'm a Kate Bush fan and it was her record that inspired this poem.

Thank you for stopping by to read this poem and I'm grateful for the feedback.

Jenny.

Hi Nolan,

I'm not sure you'll ever discover what a woman wants, as each one is different not only in character, but how they percieve men. So I don't think there will ever be an answer to that question.

Jenny.
