Conceived In Isolation

Will sweet nectar of her

garden be too much to resist?

Hunger ancient and mysterious

as liquid ambrosia given to gods.

 

Filling time in cautious solitude

needs to meander on impulse,

a yearning! That language

only two can fulfill,

 

they trip on ferment of

feminine yearnings, his

untamed barriers down

caught up in her allure,

 

cocooned in isolation,

marooned relief of

diverted passions avail,

appetite dispelling hunger,

 

inclined to procreation in

these importunate times,

fleshy desires clinched

conjuring blossom cheeks,

 

spurge of liquid flows,

their egg now nested

as deepness of longing

gaze with warmth glows.

This is a very passionate poem, Jenny. I imagine there might be a flurry of babies as well as divorces once this is over. There are aspects of an extended Christmas to lockdown. Romantic for some, less so for others. I like this poem's ties to Spring and isolation. Rachel :)

Thanks Rachel. I got thinking about the baby boomers after the second world war...I was one of them, which then got me thinking of all the babies that will be born next January and there abouts, they will become the baby boomers of Covic 19, I have a feeling that there will be many unexpected miracles to come out of this.

Thank you for reading. I know there are many negatives about people feeling isolated, especially if they live in unhappy enviroments, but glad you thought this ties in.

Jenny.

It also makes me think of the beautiful weather we're having at the moment - depending on where you are, I suppose. The kind of lovely warmth that makes you feel you are wrapped up in the moment - even indoors!

Hi Catherine,

yes you're right about the weather. It's beautiful here too and the air is so fresh, you can tell the pollution is beginning to clear. Working in the garden under shade of trees makes me and my partner feel glad to be alive. Hearing the birds singing up in the branches is a shared moment of happiness.

Glad you liked and many thanks for stopping by to read.

Jenny.

Hi Jenny,

This thought occurred to me only yesterday, that with everybody cooped up indoors there would be a flurry of deliveries around  the corner. You put this very physical act into words quite convincingly.

Best Wishes,

Hilary     smiley

Hi Hilary,

we are living in strange times aren't we? Nothing is going to be quite the same when this is over. I do hope it brings out the best in people, although I know there's always going to be the few that will rebel.

In the end I hope love, peace and happiness win the day.

Thank you so much for taking the time to read and share your thoughts.

Jenny.

Are you also a test-tube baby? By the sound if it!

No sign of a test tube to be seen.
