A kiss from the count

Back in town to write for Poetry United with the prompt: Lust

A kiss from the Count


"Drift into my dream of love" he whispers, 
gazing in the eyes of innocence,
reflecting an enchanting gentleman 
 guiding her to a space, where the sky
is cushioned with silver clouds 

above lupine lined milky roads 
mysteriously mesmerising

On this passage to paradise, he covers
her with charm and bends forwards
to seal her opal neck with his lips
Finger tips, slide softly down her silky skin
Her swelling lust......crashing
as red velvet drops merge into
a riverbed, meandering along her body

  1. Oh dear! Dracula is back is he? Hopefully that has sated his hunger for a bit.

  5. What would a lustful prompt be without the Count and the melodrama of his story?

  14. My favorite phrase,

    'where the sky
    is cushioned with silver clouds
    above lupine lined milky roads

    I think the alliteration made it feel real, as if I was there. Wonderful!
