SWOON!
•
Eyes glide luxurious flesh,
tracing the soft edge of dark and light
where the moon fondles your form,
folding itself upon you through the open window.
Eyes embrace full measure your lyrical essence,
lost in the silken tangles of your hair,
radiant in back-light,
fanning in soft wisps your graceful neck.
Eyes linger on eager bud of tender breast,
pause, entranced by the velvet flower
sensuously shadowed in satin cleft,
where supple limb meets supple limb.
Enraptured by this vision, sweet aglow,
I swoon, and swell to bursting – intoxicated!

I’m speechless (for ONCE!) – Phenomenal, Sir Kistner! ;D
Peace, Rob 🙂
~Rae — your site design is SO fab!! ;P
Rae –
Thank you!
Your enthusiasm and kind words are most appreciated.
…Rob
And all because of those gratefully guilty “eyes.” ^_^ Enjoyed the read. *uhurm* Really, thank you for sharing it. I’ve just come across your website, and I’ve been reading your poetry (scanning from bottom post to top).
Glad to have done so. ^_^ (Now, onto more poems…)
Cheers.
Soulless –
Glad you enjoyed!
Our eyes have minds of their own sometimes — isn’t it wonderful! 😉
Poets Who Blog would love to feature one of your poems and in that post direct readers back to your blog. Stop by and read the post titled Send Me a Poem, if you are interested.
Sara –
Thank you for the invitation!
Sounds interesting.
I will follow up at my next opportunity… 😉
Hi Rob, who’s this girl?!! 😀
“lost in the silken tangles of your hair”…nice line….inspires me

Vikram –
A gentleman never tells.
I am pleased you found inspiration in this work.
Rob, you swooned me with your sensuos poetry. I loved the images and the words.
Gautami –
Thank you!
I am pleased.
I wasn’t certain if “Swoon!” might be too ‘spicy’ a taste for some — so I put the WARNING on the label… 😉
…and offered “Passion Fire” as a milder dish.
Oh, I thought it was a lovely poem- and so romantic! Isn’t that what two people in love are supposed to do? Swoon over each other! And I love the word, too… swoon…
Thanks, Rob…
Regina –
Thank you!
Yes, my wife and I just celebrated our 20th, and we still swoon! 😉
That is a very sensual poem – well done! Beautiful!
Tara –
Thank you!
I am pleased you enjoyed it. It was born of love for my wife.
The words need to be said aloud………which I did. I loved the word trips and the visuals. Beautiful…..and sensuously spicy, Rob.
Awareness –
Yes! Yes… 😉
You have discovered an important layer below the visual essence of this poem, the one that is most enjoyable for me — to speak the sounds of the words. To feel them in the mouth as the tongue forms them into tones and resonances that linger — then flow from the lips.
This piece is intended to be spoken, to be a rich full whisper shared with the one you love.
I am pleased you enjoyed it. Thank you for looking more deeply, for unveiling the soul of the work.
tastefully sensual, now THIS is poetry Rob! 🙂
Lucy –
Thank you very much!
I am pleased you enjoyed my offering.
it’s not as spicy as i thought — i could take it!!
Kikare –
Good — I just wanted to be sensitive to what people might find objectionable.
We all have a different sense of decorum — so out of respect…
Wow Rob you take a moment and expand it into a universe. An atmosphere thick with the sensual that calls for a second and third inspection. Thanks for taking me on the journey!
Matthew –
Thank you for you kind words!
The thick atmosphere of Eros tends to make time stand still — if one allows oneself to be fully in the moment.
You are most welcome…
What a great tease that was. You knew darned well the curious had to click in to see what was so risque. I thought the poem was well done. You are a talented writer, but then you knew that. I know there are people who don’t appreciate erotic. I am very sad for their significant other.
MBW –
Thank you sir!
Don’t can be the most compellingly seductive word in the human language. 😉
I fully understand your perspective on eroticism — but if neither party is particularly sensual, then I presume it’s not a problem.
Personally, I wouldn’t know how to relate, nor wish to — but to each their own, and so it goes.
Beautiful poetry. Sensuous, erotic and quiet. A beautiful moment between two people.
Thank you.
Jesi (m.o.M)–
Thank you!
You have touched precisely on the heart and soul of this piece. It was inspired by my feelings of love and desire for my wife.
Wow-now that was a poem. Excellent word choice. I guess some things do need to have a bit of a rating system on them. You definetly met the spicy criteria and then some.
Chris –
Glad you liked… 😉
I just didn’t want to shock anyone unduly — so, I posted a friendly warning that there was ‘hot stuff’ ahead.
Well done Rob! Very sensual and a great addition to SS.
Tammy –
Thank you!
It’s straight from my soul, unfiltered.
Always nice to see you visit… 😉
That poems requires a cigarette after reading!
Thanks for visiting.
Frances
Quite beautiful, Rob. Anything with the moon always makes me swoon.
Frances –
… 😉 …and a fresh steeped cup of chai…
You are most welcome!
KG –
Thank you!
…especially in June… 😉
congratulations…very beautiful poem!
Arboleda –
Thank you! 😉
Love is so difficult to write about that I always shy (literally) away from trying. But you have shown us all how it can be done. Thankyou.
ViV
Thank you Viv. I have always been very keen to the feelings of love and passion, and blessed/cursed with a vivid imagination — highly visual in nature. I also find the spoken word very sensual, and have the good fortune of a resonant voice – so words actually feel good to me when I speak them… especially some words. I find this all serves me extremely well in the expression of emotions/feelings of all kinds. i can be brutal, even wounding, with a verbal assault — should I so choose… a fact I do my best to manage with compassion.
You know you got it right when she makes you swoon. Great tribute to true love.
