Perfect. Your bee stung
lips part just enough
to invite me in–

whisper secrets
of one thousand breaths ago:
I entered you,

tattooed my name
on the inside of your thigh.
 
Your body still shivers
when my tongue
reads the ink.

Nothing left but to reread and comment on some I have missed reviewing. Your talent with imagery and phrasing is brilliant as always. Remember, you have not reached a pinnacle of writing and that portion shall always remain with and within you. So someday you will pick up your pen once more and shine beyond the scope of the sun.

Boy
I can't tell you much about be stung lips but I can tell you about a bee stung tongue. Well at least when i was a young boy and steped on a bee hive. As i was screaming a bee flew in my mouth and stung my tongue. You would think I would learned to keep my mouth shut
But Nooooo

I would write more but I ran out of ink

Maria,

Excellent penmanship.

I like this, Maria! Scripture talks about the Tree of Life and the Tree of the KNOWLEDGE of good and evil... once we KNOW we are culpable and responsible for our own actions, to be sure. Yes, when our lips have been stung and are swollen with temptation, they part JUST enough to let the snake's schemes pass on in and take root, don't they just!!?? I am right there with this one! Forbidden fruit and fallen - the two DO kinda go together, I think! LOL Kate xx

Transcendant physicality. Sublime.

Reviewed on July 2, 2005

An impressinist-symbolistical romantic composition.
"Reading Scripture" leads one to deep thoughts, although
the sensuality through its lines can stimulate the
libidinal imagination.

I enjoyed this poem, "Reading Scripture".

Healthy Life, Poet!
