My Desires by P.E. Cuberos
in the cobwebs of my wisdom.
My desires,
blossom, ripen, swell, explode.
The seasons of my heart,
raspberry crests on the tips of my breasts
My desires,
sailors sailing to the magical cave,
in the depths of the rippling of the waves of my legs.
The singing of the sirens pulls and calls
to drop in and dive down
to deep and depth explore.
My desires
Wings that tickle with soft whispering tongues
My velvet-silk skin
Butterflies have a brief life
Raspberries rot
Sailors drown
Skin,
grows old.
The word choice and imagery in this piece is so rich and soothing, like sipping a full-bodied merlot on a rainy night. Such a solid command of language. Well, done.
