Someone

Somewhere
Someone
longs to touch you
rrrright ... there

Somewhere
Someone
imagines the scent
of your arousal

Somewhere
Someone
tastes your skin
in their dreams

Somewhere
Someone
wants to fall
into your eyes

Somewhere
Someone
hears the soft sighs
of your passion

Somewhere
Someone
aches to take you
beyond bliss

Somewhere
Someone
gets off
thinking of you

Everyone
has a someone.
I
am yours

Continuous Loop!
10/10/04 by Anonymous
It's playing over and over and over. Just love your voice!

Like Anon said....

This is an incredibly sexy recording.....no, its more than sexy. It gets inside your head and under your skin, the timbre of the voice, every nuance of expression....the desire is palpable, I can FEEL it, every drop of it. I feel it with you. When I first heard this I was overwhelmed....and also played it for hours on a continuous loop. I was a wet rag when I finally turned it off. I still listen but have to limit myself - a girl can only get wrung out so many times in one day, can't she? Absolutely .....Imp, absolutely. I've run out of words. Mat xxxxxxx

Can I vote an extra five?

Imp, As the "good ole boys" west of Fort Worth say, "That was hotter'n a two-dollar pistol." :) I enjoyed both versions. For me, it was a reminder of the different techniques and challenges involved with the written and spoken word. IMHO, your reading was excellent, providing pause and emphasis that would have been hard to achieve in print w/o distracting the reader. Thanks for both the read, and the listen. Rumple

Here's a piece from a couple years back ~ still sizzlin'!

I See

I see you.

No,
not the you
you want the world to see.

I see
YOU:

the liar you
denounce;
the sycophant you
abhor;
the coward you
despise;
the fraud you
blast
with righteous indignation.

I see you
writhe
on the altar of inconsistency.

I see you
struggle
to be the you
you want the world to see.

I see you
in me.

Moving through a thoughtful, intense rant to be brought up short in self-realization. Powerful and moving. Thank you Hugo

It Comes

Tomorrow
stalks us
sleek and hungry
and hot

We are its prey;
our conflicting desires its blood scent:

the phenomenal –
devouring all else
impossible to surpass
or even again equal
devastating in its perfection;

the sublime –
whetting its appetite for more
and more and still more
addicting in its repletion;

and the just good enough –
making it well worth risk
but not worth repeat
liberating in its extinction.

We cling to fading strength
as it circles, ravenous.
Relentless.
Our cave of will
scant shelter. Vigilance
no longer enough to keep
the inevitable at bay.

It comes.

That was simply wonderful. Beautiful use of language and style. Very impressive, Imp!!!

Wow.

i'm usually not a big fan of poetry, but this one is wonderful. It gave me the feeling of being stalked by something large and... not necessarily cruel, but ruthless.

Well captured Imp, the dangers and frustrations of possiblities. "Potential" may well be the world's most complicated curse word. Many layers in this work.

...and I couldn't find my cave. ty,bd

dream coding

pale words hang in sterile air
once charged with fiery hope
faint fading pulses
'neath translucent skin -
grey blue on glass bone

life whisper rasps
through parched lips
to caress my mind
still
achingly beautiful
still

rapt by feathery wings of light
the dream floats free
bathed in the flatline glow

eerie embers of optimism
expire with one last gasp
one last tear
one lasting scar

'less is more?
12/09/05 by Maria2394
I like this. It has a sad quality. I do not know if you intended this, imp, but it comes across as the end, or near the end of a life. reminds me of my grandma. anyway, you did an excellent job with your descriptions, and a good job putting in the feeling. good work;)

Pleasant enough.
12/09/05 by TheRainMan
But I find this poem far too heavy with adjectives to have any real chance of saying too much. I think to improve the quality of your writing, you need to be more spare with adjectives and let the nouns and verbs move the poem forward. Modifiers can't do that. They are the shadow, not the image.

This is good
12/09/05 by cward2
I liked the second stanza the most. This is a well crafted poem but I have to agree with TheRainMan, especially with the first stanza. You have created some really great images, but remember brevity and of suggestion. Aside from that, a good poem!

Flowing
12/10/05 by hugo_sam in Lost in the '70's
Literate, compelling use of words. It does strike me as sad and final. Beautiful.

as it all fades away awash in gray dreams and memories departing steam exhales in winter we stand on the runway as sighted down flat flight lines we watch and wave good bye

well done.

drifting

captivatingly cruel
she draws my eye
frigid yet frail

sun-drenched distraction
oblivious to her
blinding beauty

perilously pristine
peppermint pane-cicles
drip drop from frozen lips

crystal blood
from an icy heart
on ivory eaves

so like my hope
melting in the winter
of passion's promise

interesting metaphor, with fresh phrasing. Enjoyed.

I must admit
02/01/05 by minsue
this was my pick of the monthly contest poems, though I had no idea it was yours. Well done, Imp! (in case you haven't heard, I'm a whore for alliteration...)

Tweedly-neat!
02/01/05 by DeepAsleep
Enjoyed this! Clever alliteration always makes me grin, and as has already been said, it's a neat little metaphor. However, I had a question about this stanza: sun-drenched distraction oblivious to her blinding beauty The line break from second to third line feels off kilter, to me, maybe because the third line doesn't feel like a complete thought. My brain kept binding here, in rereads, so I thought I'd point at it and look confused. Loved it, on the whole! ~D.A.

Nice to see this out and about.

I'd said this is IMPRESSIVE....but u already knew that. Drifting was my favorite.

Pane-cicles? Passion in the winter gone awry? Do I remember correctly? Wonderful poem, Imp. A professional writer expanding her realm. I like.
