Flower

young flower fresh-bloomed
engorged with succulence
bursting with life’s urgency
vibrantly seductive

dewy lips of supple petal
lay open in offered sweet delight
velvet pistil of gentle blush
enwrapped in throat of golden hue

this vision of tender ecstasy
entices with a lilting sway
a fragrance to intoxicate
wafting from the luscious folds

breathing in the rich bouquet
all senses stirred and tantalized
my eyes embrace this visage rare
pleasured in the heady moment

captive by such vital beauty
consumed, one savors slowly
exquisitely delicious
this tender bud, full bloomed

supple petals lay open

soft in golden throat

lilting fragrant folds
stir the senses

consumed
one savors slowly

exquisite

  1. Very nice, Rob.

    There are so many writing prompts one could follow. I don’t think I can take on any more, though the ones at Magpie may impel me.

  2. Rob–

    Sensual dramatic and bold, yet simultaneously fragile. I am mesmerized by the grace of your words intoxicating my senses.

  3. I could see it all….” this visage rare”… thrilled here because am seeing such vibrant colors on trees against a wonderful landscape…portrait like. This captured so well what my heart wanted to say 🙂

  4. If I could write like this . . .

    Oh, god, if I could write like this . . .

    Rob, I hardly know what to say, except . . .

    This is exotic, wonderful, amazing.

    Thank you.

  5. I wasn’t sure that reading this at the office was the best idea, but I made it through without blushing too much. But it sure did evoke a Not-Appropriate-For-The-Office image! Nice!
