The Girl Whose Name I Won't Utter (Explicit Content)

I lay upon her back through the night
upon the soft pillows of her rump
I halved the flesh of her, as she muttered
in breathless affirmation the words
that would soon be her confession.

Moistened by her body's dew
and the sweet flowing myrrh of life
our body held a sigh like the zephyr
over the crystal basin of her gut
and we drew no blood
as I entered her
as the salt
of our
tongues
were
mingled

The night encircles us, our body is one
She glistens as moonlight in the water

No purer one than she
in female flesh
her hair bound around me
her limbs her lips
the twin mouths of her body
behind the ivory pillars of her teeth
she held my tongue
between the pillars of her thighs
the lips of her maidenhead held my self
within the chamber of her breast
she held my enflamed heart
and a promise my life would not dishonour
nor make of myself a sullied, foul creature
by proving false

For faithlessness in love
is murder, and shall it remain

I shall not be called a murderer...

Dear Dalton...

This poem is indeed, enthralling... A delicious blend of sensuality, love and passion. Faithlessness in love, is a betrayal of the Soul. A murder, indeed. And here...you say it all, so well... Exquisite work, Dalton. Love, Raven

Dear Raven

I think this is quite an old poem of mine. I had been studying the Arabic Ghazalz at the time. Some of them are a tad lurid, but executed in the proper manner they can be quite beautiful. There are even tracts in the Bible that speak of physical love, as if uttered from the mouth of a lover. As in the Song of Solomon. There is another poet on Neopoet called Diatom Shells, she writes what you might call spiritual verse, myths and folklore. She's amazing, I love her work. Thanx for reading my poem, and so quickly I just, a few moments ago, posted it. Lovely to speak with you again. Dalton.

for this sort of peace

i would sew my name into the wind so that it might be swept up and away from all that knows it and become new and whole taking its place among the lovers in the sky simply beautiful Dalton...this piece is very delicately laced together...and the losing of the plot has no bearings...for what foul causes the man to make his own path...what desire drives him to walk blindly...it is love and in love words have no deed but to make it...and yours my friend makes it oh so sweetly... <3 Emarie ________________________________________________________________________________ "i read you and see…that between the pen, paper and you…there is little room for me…" ~ heart breaker~ Go Live & Get Rewarded!!!
