Very new poem: The Promise
translucent orange
glowing across
the room I saw
salt rimmed
glass
in her
hand

full
browned softness

gathered across her
breasts showing
her life
freely given

hands float above the
glass
the sunset glows
inside
the salt rim

he watches her give

the
promise
freely

Kinky, very kinky.....I love it.:woohoo: :woohoo: :hi::hug::hug::hug::hug



"Yielding up to man over the long centuries all that is known of the planet on which we live withholding from man forever their veiled secrets of the nature of matter and cosmic catastrophe, the secrets of other worlds in the vastness of the universe, of other forms of life, of strange organisms beyond the imagination of man."

I'm so pleased you like it!

Ahem. It wasn't intended to be kinky! However, the interpretation is up to you!

14. Delightful as always, Miss Peg.
Read it earlier today, but wanted to let the recollection gel a little. I've come to understand fluidity in color is something of a poker tell with your poetry. There is a sad note of promise wronged, a sense of misplaced intimacy and it makes me wonder if this represents man's broken promise to Mother Earth.

:fistbump:

15. My dear jotsy...
I really appreciate your thoughtful response...

I especially appreciate your taking the time to let it gel. That speaks volumes to me...

I actually saw this scene last night at dinner out. So the poem represents what I saw. Now, poetry is very personal and open to wide interpretations...

You are more than welcome to see whatever you like! And of course, I am very pleased that you enjoyed it...

:hug:

Thank you, sweetie...

19. My dear blue neen!
That was my intent!

The scene was so vivid that I was struck by it...and this poem resulted.

Thank you!

21. Very sensual
I like the "full browned softness". Your words are always so evocative, CAPeggy. This poem seems so - generous. I like it very much. Thanks!
