Innuendo (lyrical poem)

63

By Doug Turner Jr.

 

Innuendo

 

 

We met somewhere

On a staircase

 

When our needs

Touched

Like fingertips gliding

Over lace

The skin beneath

Dancing

As we started

To experiment

Each other’s company

The fruits sampled

In short visits

Those first days

Were loose

Playful

The butterflies still

Beat their wings

In our stomachs

We tried to taste

Ecstasy

Eyes ever fixed

Hands searching

Fumbling

To unclasp the secrets

Locked within  

The sweetest flesh

Hair slicked back

Dripping

All those tears

Kissed clean

Before dawn’s dew

Arrived around us

Glistening

Our lips dragging across

The potion bottle

Just a drop

To tantalize

Arouse the scented

Flesh

Wholly exposed now

Our mysteries

Scooped up

Handfuls of diamonds

To purchase

That sweet nectar

At any price

Whatever the cost

Leaving us breathless

Panting

Crashed on the beach

Milky waves subside

To reveal us naked

Alone together

Clutching

Heads pressed  

To the sand

Listening

To the deep

Rumbling

Of the ocean

Belonging only

Exclusively

To us.

The esquisite simplicity with which you expressed such complex emotions - powerful and delicate at the same time - comes to prove once again, not only your talent as a great poet, but also your sensitive side (which I very much appreciate).

Hi Doug You always come up with something refreshingly different. You painted a vivid picture of young love with all it's warmth and subtlety. You have done so much in five short weeks and your followers long for more. Cheers mate

Great stuff my friend --- just the right balance, i really like 'scooped up handfuls of diamonds' --- is a beautiful line... is ok for you to do a couple of really rubbish hubs now, you are starting to set the bar too high :-) :-)

Greetings and thank you, ye hubbers. I've had a very busy (and freezing cold) weekend but I've have been trying to respond to these fine comments in the best way: by reading and commenting on your hubs. Holiday cheers.

.....excellent use of wordplay - actually quite dazzling is this poetic exercise of yours - and will probably send the epi-man back to his sandbox to build sandcastles!

Sensuality, breath taking, hot, sexy, exciting loss for words as sweat beads down each others tight bodies in ecstasy. Two lovers settling the butterflies flight and enjoying the nectar from the bumble bees flower of sweet honey to the taste. Brilliant wrap of words, enjoyed this one very much Doug. Bravo...

Thanks, rider. Going through your comments, I'm noticing that each successive hub you peruse, your imagination is taking farther flight. Hopefully you'll have to pen your own poem before the night falls.

Your words create a whole new meaning of innuendo for me. Thank you. "Belonging only exclusively to us." is a powerful conclusion.
