i don’t mind
a tease of tied
wrists/ankles
stilled in silk
or twined cotton rope
i am ripe for it
& blind me too
so I don’t know
where mouth
or fingers
will raise feeling next
the tender curve
beneath breasts
or traced
in the arc of a hip
trailing & tasting
surrender in
my neck stretching yes
***Who would have thought a presidential debate gaffe would lead me here? Not I…Kind of like where the thought led me tonight, but I was SO not thinking of Mitt when I cooked this up. Reminded me of this song. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hm2J4slYb3s&feature=related
I didn’t watch the town hall debate and I’ve been avoiding the reportage so I wouldn’t have gotten it if you hadn’t added that postscript. Reading it cold it just made me go something like “OMG Really??? Really!!! Very sensual, in a restrained kind of way. (pun intended!)
Can you hear me laughing in BC? I bet you can. Awesome comment. Loved the pun 😉
Ok…I’m confused. I watched the debate, came no where NEAR this feeling! What is it with you? This is a very sensual poem, and relating it to the debate baffles me. I see and feel this…to my core. Why?
Hmmm. Dunno. Has to do with seeing all those tied wrists today on Facebook, tied into some seriously twisted free association…et voila.
Beautifully evocative, Susan. I had no idea while reading it that something so comical had inspired it. I just thought it was warmly sensual.
Thanks, George. Some sort of very loose, very free associations had to birth this, but it was fun to write…
That was seriously hot.
Thanks…turning all red now.
wow that opened my eyes wide this morning very sensual
Thank you, Bruce. See, all that “bound” imagery floated into the subconscious yesterday. I do have to say I liked the result 😉
kinda poem that i like to find, unbinds my mind, unwinds things with its teasing wings and whispers …this must go to my binder!
I had to play with the winding and the binding–it was an irresistible pull, a tease, a suggestion I just couldn’t let go of. I much prefer the idea of a binder packed with suggestive poetry, rather than full of women.
i didn’t realize that this bondage was going to be become tied to a politics, but some relationships are just that and that is not good bondage…haha.
hahaha–anything tied to a presidential debate is bound to be tricky, slippery, and hard to pin down. All puns intended and used gleefully and with abandon…
Just come from a cold shower… lovely poem… just going for a cold shower…
Yay! It worked then. You sound very, very clean, albeit a bit chilly…
It was just a matter of time, har! So long as there is no Mitt in leather.
Ewwww! Perish the thought. Do they make that magic underwear in leather?
Har, you’d have to ask him that.
Wow, Susan, and this from a presidential debate? It was that hot then. Because this is piping hot! 🙂
Hahaha–thank you! Yes, who knew a gaffe could prompt something like this? Glad you liked.
