APHRODISIAC

For Big Tent Poetry
And One Single Impression - Love


APHRODISIAC EYES

Beautiful vision
Golden sunbeams backlight hair
Soft halo framing face
Enchanting me

She’s looking my way
Through aphrodisiac eyes
Subliminal signals
Arousing me

Closer to me now
Stimulating sweet desires
Exploiting weaknesses
Seducing me

Hers, a love supreme
Heaven sent; a Greek Goddess
On a divine mission
To fulfil me

Passion fruit princess
Leads me to the Promised Land
Lifelong summer of love
To complete me

  12. Wow - I'm so used to your fiery politics that this was a suprise...a very tender and vulnerable side to you. Really liked "aphrodisiac eyes," and the subliminal signals. Read right, they're better than any aphrodisiac.

  14. Romantic & loving. If it's autobiographical you are a lucky man -- if not, you've created a longed-for relationship.

  16. Passion fruit princess
    Leads me to the Promised Land


    Engaging read! Promised land conjures Gates of Paradise imagery. It's only half a step from the romantic to the erotic. Nice.

  17. i like "exploiting weaknesses" -- it implies an intimacy and a playfulness in this context.

  18. Thanks to:
    Deb; Sometimes it's how I remember things - other times it's a different story.
    Brenda; Summers can be good, if they last.
    Paul; I wanted to suggest eroticism without going all the way.
    Carolee; It's the kind of manipulation we accept.
