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

    I am pleased that you found happiness with the passionfruit princess in the land of the long summers and smiles...Boy Stan, you're a bit of a lucky bugger aren't you?

    If you haven't disappeared to the seduction couch, Stan, I love your poem. Soooo romantic, specially the first three stanzas.

    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.

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

    You had me with blacklight hair...blacklights were the rage when I was awakening sexually. Had my own summer of love going on...thanks for evoking memories. :)

    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.

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

    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.
