You, knew me well

L. B. Mek



 

I think

I prefer, the peeling action over the actual consumption 

I murmur to an empty room, with belated realisation 

 

like with this gripped Tangerine

its skin - pressed tight, forcing me

to tear into it, with arrowed eyeteeth

 

slow and steady, a game of unravelling

in one continuous motion, revealing its juicy flesh

one tumbling spiral layer, at a time

 

did you - know, back then

and is that why, your little-black-dress 

with its distinct, golden side-zip

would be laid out, waiting 

 

basking, in that peeking moonlight 

whenever you felt, like we needed

to rekindle

our attractions, faltering furnace;

 

years later and I’m, still learning

why my loyal fingers fervently remember

 

right hand - purposeful

deliberately savouring - each

teeth element’s surrendered, (z)nip

sliding, caressing - flowing

over every hinted sway of seductive, curve

 

like a single bead of sweat’s teasing descent 

on a cool Winter evening’s, gooseflesh skin

 

left hand - resting

at that nerve ending, sweet-spot

where your beckoning waist, greets

those enticing hips, resonating

with your anticipation’s unbidden tremors 

 

just, as I deliver a suggestive gentle squeeze 

to coax free

our simultaneous sigh of breathless intoxication…

    Best be careful there, friend; for zip to lip often draws blood and a lasting painful warning. Awesome poem.

    • L. B. Mek

      spoken like one whose lived through it
      and survived...
      and as-ever, pain recognises pain
      not just in wincingly vivid imagery
      lol
      thank you for the empathy, dear poet
      I'll aspire to heed your wise words

    • sorenbarrett

      Your wording and gradual buildup was seductive and alluring. So tastefully written it was enticing and drew me in. Very nicely done.

        • L. B. Mek

          'from your fingertips, to Poesy's ears'
          your kindness never fails to humble me
          dear Poet supreme!

        • Fay Slimm.

          I agree with Neville - this is certainly one of your best and so readably penned it goes straight into my list of favourites with top marks my friend.

          • L. B. Mek

            wow! just awesome
            you've made my day, dear Fay
            thank you!

            As the flow goes, it’s immaculate. While reading my mind wandered off to many scenarios - a seduction of a female, or that of a string instrument

            • L. B. Mek

              ohhhhhhh, you clever Poet
              what a great layer of interpretive depth
              you've added to my humble scribble
              I thank you! with the utmost sincerity

            • Eugene S.

              Really like the tangerine allusion. Great poem!

              • L. B. Mek

                so glad you enjoyed this fruity read, kind Poet
                thank you!
                for the supportive words
                and encouraging gesture
