Asked And Answered
I am asked and answered
Beleaguered jasmine trill of longing
Skyward dances
Snake smoke trail seducing sway
Leading way
Beguiling smile descending
Swing upending the cause
Bemused and bespoke
I am exactly as ordered
Dyed crimson and bordered
In sailcloth and wind
And nothing untangles the fragrant cry of desire
The sea sprayed reaching
For fire aloft
From hands singed with elation to remain

This is so perfectly lovely! Yay! Happy Wild Friday to your crew. Coming back from Ukee today, i think i saw your RV. Hope you are having the best time!
Thank you, Sherry. And thanks for the visit. The pups are not at all happy with this new beach as “the treat lady” isn’t here.
This is absolutely stunning! I love how seamlessly you have combined passion with midnight with that of stars and sea. The use of imagery and language is vivid and intense especially; “Beleaguered jasmine trill of longing,” is my favorite! Thank you so much for writing to the prompt!
This is utterly stunning!! I especially love, “Beleaguered jasmine trill of longing.” Just wowww!!
Thank you, Sanaa. Funny thing is, when I wrote that line, I thought to myself, that sounds like something Sanaa would write!
That’s amazingly sweet, H! Thank you so much!
What a great boating poem which is quite visual in its descriptive form.
Thank you, Robin! This is what I love about poetry. The same poem always means different things to different people. Then when someone shares their perspective with me, I can look back and see where they’re coming from. ❤️
Love this poem of passion and yearning! Wow! ‘ Beleaguered jasmine trill of longing’ seems to set a fire. Wonderful seducing images everywhere. Thoroughly enjoyed every line.
Really lovely!
Thank you, Linda!
“I am exactly as ordered”. How I love that line. Not just what it says, but also how it makes me think that we can order ourselves every single day anew (and be exactly what we want and need).
Oh, that’s lovely, Magaly. Thank you for adding your thoughts to that.
How desire and being desired can transform us! That teasing ache makes the most sober soul act drunk in a single brush of the hand.
Beautiful, Rommy! You’re comment is poetry.
Deliciously seductive!
