A city shrouded in white
Swirling crystals
Picking up every scrap of light
Over the cold dark waters a boat
Gently from pier to pier float
In front of the warmth of the fire
We satisfy every desire

City of Snow – 3 December
Your Touch Lingers – A Quadrille
In the cool moonlight
© RedCat
The warmth of your touch
In my mind
Lingers
The memory of your kiss
Makes my lips
Tingle
Remembering how our bodies moved
And our passion
Intermingled
All through the night
Until both were too exhausted to lift
A finger
It’s a beautiful full moon tonight!
Written for tonight’s Quarille prompt, Let’s Linger, over at dVerse.

I’m Tethered
This burning need has got me caught,
I’m tetheredShe’s collared me with sweet release and
supple leatherKeeping me on leash by burning passion and
dream-wing feathersDemanding I write regardless of the world,
or weatherI’ve come to recognize her as my fantasies and
mind’s bellwetherI must do her bidding or she’ll go, abandoning me
altogetherI thought she was forever lost, so I’ll happily walk in
my muse’s tetherAfter all, she’s my soul’s first lover

Written for this weekend’s prompt by Sammi Cox. The prompt word is tether and the word count is 80 words.
Summertime Pleasures
Laughing sky-blue eyes
My heart soar and fly
Delighted playful smile
Stealing my breath awhile
Soft sun-warm skin
Kindling the fire withinStrawberry stained lips
My hands trace the gentle curve of your hipsDrawing me in for another kiss
I could stay forever held like thisOur sweet summertime pleasures

Moments I forever treasure
Midsummer Frenzy
As the midsummer frenzy reaches its crescendo
©RedCat
My love smiles bright with clear innuendo
Let us celebrate this never to come night
Coming together under the moons clear sight
Sharing our bodies lust with abandon and delight
Written for this weekend’s writing prompt from Sammi Cox. Inspired by the word crescendo and the nearing of midsummer singing in my blood.
Read other sensual poems by me here.
If you desire to be my lover
If you desire to be my lover.
You must feel delighted to mysteries discover.
Read the nomenclature of the poetic fire in my soul.
Not have the need to push me into hemmed in roles.
Be able to decipher the cartography of my mind’s twists and turns.
Not fear that my passions will burn.
Learn the topography of my body’s pleasure.
Delight in seeking every carnal treasure.
I’m not for the timid.
Are you still interested?©RedCat

Casanova comes closer

Celebrated curves charm
Lips cherry colored
Cobalt eyes cajole
Clothes, composure convey carefree confidence
Concealing clingy charcoal chemise
Careful charisma conspire
Channeling close connection
Compassionate carnal company
Clarion cavalry call
Come cherished cupid
Come closer
Come conquer
Come champion
Come climax

Re-post comment:
Time for me to dance through the archives.
This is the third most read post from April last year.
Enjoy!
Over the rainbow. Seduced by trust.

Dreamy infatuation. Wholehearted crush.
Finally here. My soul’s fairest.
Eyes lock. My whole body blush.
Clothes gone. Blown away like dust.
Lips meet. Heartbeats rush.
Falling together. Into the arms of lust.
Blissfully lost in love’s first flush.
For Quadrille #102, at dVerse 44 words not including title.
