Lovely. I liked this. Pockets of brilliance and very well delivered.
This is a deep love poem, not your surface kind. I wish you luck with the entry author.
My best.

Great contest entry. Sultry, seductive and succulently delicious. I especially love the last verse. It says it all for passion and of wanting. Great descriptions for imageries. good luck in the contest and have a great New Years Eve

I've often thought that a man has the true poetic essence necessary to truly portray love in words. This one had me dreaming. Bravo and well done. xoxo Kiwi

    Hi Kiwi. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and all your loved ones. I thank you so much for validating that even a man can poetically express love. I think men cannot freely express love even verbally to the object of their as well as women can. Maybe it is a cultural limitation imposed on both men and women as to their proper roles in society. Anyway thank you very much for this great read and review Kiwi. Most honored. tom

    I think it's easier for a woman to just up and say what they have to or want to or desire to however, to write it poetically, I believe men have that hands down ... Thank you for the Merry Christmas and you and yours as well ... xoxo deborah

Hi this is a great piece of poetry, the imageries are fabulous and the sense of beauty so subtly expressed , not to say the creative inspiration all the way down to the end.
Well done.

I wish I were a bee and free to probe
The perfumed scent beneath your blue-black skin;
Enfolded in your soft vermilion robe
I'd taste of every place you've ever been.
Utterly amazing. This should win. Instant bookcase! Love Meia x

Excellent write! Sometimes a poet can become too vague and abstract such that he loses the reader who cannot figure out what the poem is saying. This one is written with both elegance and eloquence - yet, maintains its clarity and never loses the reader. Very well done.

I admired your interpretation of the prompt as a separation between two slaves and your rhymed quatrains. Your appeal to our senses of sight, touch, sound, smell and taste is very effective. Best wishes in the contest- Joan
