Encore Plus Délicieux
By Talisker
04 October 2006
A bit of a departure for me.  But here goes...

You are even more delicious without makeup,
Clean, fresh, as you are meant to be,
In my eyes you are without fault,
No artist’s brush could improve your beauty.
 

You are even more delicious without clothes,
All silken skin and warmth,
A man needs the comfort of a woman’s breasts,
To soothe the child in him.
 

You are even more delicious from behind,
The curve of your hips, the dimples on your back,
The perfection of your shape,
Causes a stirring in my loins.
 

You are even more delicious as part of me,
When we melt together as one,
And flow like molten lava on the sheets,
Swept on a wave of passion.
 

You are even more delicious in your sleep,
All contentment and peace,
Like a glowing ember in the hearth,
Of our love.

A very personal poem Oli. I liked the repetition and loved the final verse. You're a very lucky man, and she's a very lucky woman. 
 
All the best, 
 
Phil.

Beautifully written as usual, Oli. It describes the kind of love that has, so far, eluded me.... :cry

This was inspired by a tube of Pringles - which had the French phrase. 
 
Ah, if only guys - I'm afraid this was as much a work of my imagination as many other of my poems. Its aspirational rather than present reality :sigh  
 
Thanks for the feedback - I was a bit uncomfortable about posting this. It is personal somehow, even though not reality - it lays bare (no pun intended) the vulnerablity and need of a man for a woman (I hope).

Truely beautiful...

I was very moved by this one Oli. Not just because of the content. But since I am at present attempting to play out an intimate and erotic love scene between Oliver Cromwell and his wife, Meg. He is known as a fighter not a lover, [sic]. But perhaps it seems not so.... Also it does so remind me of a few words of doggerel so dear to me I wrote to my darling wife- my best friend- when we were were married way back in 1975, 'Sweet Kitty Kenny, the Bride of Armagh'. I can't repeat it even today without tears. We had our anniversary recently and my eldest read it out. I earn my living by words; but nothing can reclaim that moment. 
 
Slan! Lovely boy...

I've been back to revisit this, Oli. It's just beautiful; plain and simple. Lovely
