Rain Dancing


Creamy travertine swirls surround
elegance of egg and dart border
separating
brick- laid patterns
above...below
squares of lovingly laid marble
tumbled buttery soft
and wet
beneath paired naked feet
securing
legs entwined
absorbing
so as not to slip
when showers of
rain-like droplets
stream incessantly
over her golden hair
and the hazel in his eyes
mesmerized
as the silken
luster
of polished stone
compares
to the lure of her
summer-sunned skin
soothed
by the pristine quiet of
his lips in kiss
and the sweet-honeyed taste
of her
who by his hands
French-milled cleansed
in irresistible scent
and delicious warmth of
two lovers dancing
a merengue
behind the dappled glass
amid the rising steam
of caustic caress
and blessings of
morning's bliss.

I can only add an echo of what has already been said here, Taylor. A beautiful art poem that invites the senses to experience the moment as though we were there. Beautiful imagery, soft, and deliciously sensual. Elizabeth

My immediate impression upon reading the first stanza was seeing the rich visual imagery and descriptions of the marble and brick and the way you connected them to the tactile senses: "the creamy travertine swirls" and marble, "lovingly laid, tumbled buttery soft and wet, between paired naked feet" and "the silken luster of polished stone" It put me there in that steamy place where loving passion intensifies the heat and steam within this piece. There is a sense of deja vu here that creates a longing in us to return to those glorious moments. Then the olfactory and sense of taste are brought into play, which converge with the already heightened senses of intense pleasure: "soothed by the pristine quiet of his lips in kiss and the sweet-honeyed taste of her who by his hands French-milled cleansed in irresistible scent" It is a gentle, passionate and powerfully written poem which stirs mind body and soul -outstanding!

Makes me think of the soft warmth of Sardinian marble together with the exotic heavy scent of French hand-cut Provencal soaps... Heady and yet cool and lush at the same time... like that "special" time of dawning! :)) You capture both intimacy and freshness beautifully and with such delicacy here. Like an island sunrise. I like ! TY K xx

Taylor ...

This write flows like a fine rich red wine over the palate of the senses. You seem to be developing a certain sophistication with this style you have embraced. And you also find a remarkable symbiosis between the visual and the written.

Well done, and thanks also for your insightful words ...
