Beneath Leaves

Inspired by a painting by Hnery Ryan Macginnis entitled "Lumberville Sycamore Wild Grape," 1875-1962

It's a gorgeous landscape, but I couldn't find it online. I love nature.







 

 

your fingertips

touched me

and traced me

like stipling

creating landscapes

on soft spots

beneath my navel

in strokes

in rubs

of sky blue

and heated noon

 

(and yes, pleasure's here, yes)

 

the leaves rustled

we smelled of autumn and wind

and i forgot my watch on your

bedside table

making time soar

on the backs of the falling leaves

moment by moment

it dropped

(your head)

and your lips nuzzled

my neck (more)

kiss my lips swollen

and so sweet

 

we wore the mountains

around our naked skin

and laughed at the

sound of passing crows

and the views down below

and you watched as my lips

full and pink and wet

kissed the highest spot

on your inner thigh

the heat of my breath

-  just there  -

 

crawling atop you

my summit to conquer

again and again

(again)

As one had already stated, love is a raw emotion, so emotional and so sensual, and one that you wrapped up so well within nature. Great poem. :)

Michelle,
This one goes straight to my library. I like how you balance nature and sensuality with class. Though parts are provocative, you do not go over the edge. What I like most about this poem is the unique phrasing - such as "on the backs of the falling leaves" and "my summit to conquer". In fact, as a fellow gal, that last part had me chuckling knowingly- very clever. Love and Hugs~

Metaphors laced with eroticism. Love, in the leaves. Love, love. You must be in love to pen such raw passion. May you wear the moutains about your naked skin with impunity. JMW

Very sensually enticing write with just the right amount of love mixed in to avoid it from being considered erotica. I love it.
