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.
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

Lips cherry colored
Cobalt eyes cajole

Concealing clingy charcoal chemise
Careful charisma conspire
Channeling close connection
Compassionate carnal company

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.

Ode To My Dream Girl
Mouth that never knows when to shut up
Powered by a brain that knows a little about everything
That can talk the night away ‘til sunup
Then join the birds to dawns splendor singEyes that sees and notices so much
Your truth and lies, what you wish from the world to hide
Hands built for toil and touch
That knows every household chore, that into ecstatic pleasures guideArms that moves graciously
Weather at work or play
Making you watch her endlessly
Finding reasons to every parting delayLegs and feet that loves to dance
Energy that lasts all night long
Filling your head with ideas of a whirlwind romance
You’ll accept anything if she to you belongsBody shaped like an hourglass
That makes your thoughts go but one way
You want to drink your fill like emptying a wine glass
Mesmerized by the hips swaySweet lips you dream to kiss
Bosom that makes heads turn
Her embrace would be pure bliss
Passion that so brightly burnA mind full of intricate thought of her own
©RedCat
She is so much more than most will ever see
A will that demands to be accepted and fully known
To love her fully you have to let her be free
Written for tonight’s MTB: The Body & Poetry at dVerse. I didn’t know where to go with this one at all. So I just started writing. And ended up with a love letter to my younger self.
