An Old Erotic Poem

I went to bed at 2:00AM and woke up at 10:00AM. This without any prompting, so it was very good. I visited other blogs, got a shower, took a walk, and started the first of four loads of clothes I should get done today.

 

Mom has gone out with her friend and Alex is playing games on his computer. I am just hanging out. Trying to think of something interesting to write about.

 

I think I will post an old erotic poem. It could apply to any woman in a truly loving relationship.

 

Table of Love

 

I am a table

Laid out before my love

Set with sweet morsels

For him to enjoy.

 

My cloth is made of

Soft linen, finely

Laundered with fresh

Scents of perfume.

 

My body is smooth, warm

Delicately detailed

The work of Master

Craftsman, made with love.

 

My face is fairer

To him than many others,

My lips sweeter than

Ripe chocolate covered cherries.

 

He takes me to him

With strong delight

For my setting

Arouses his hearty appetite.

 

He devours the treats

Bared for his main course

Consuming my provender,

And settling fulfilled.

 

I am a table

Continually replenished,

A fine feast prepared

For my love to enjoy.

I once was able to write, nowadays it is harder. I have a creative block that keeps me down. I truly wish I could overcome this. I think I will start reading some of the books that seem to spark my imagination. Maybe I can overcome the stagnancy. I hope so, I enjoy creating so much.

 

TTYL,

  1. Good luck overcoming your "writer\’s block" – I know it can be hard. Creativity really is a process… sometimes it\’s not easy to let it flow, especially after having been stifled for so long.

  2. JP, Thanks for the encouragement. I am trying… I think the flow will come back if I let myself relax into the process. I just have to stop trying for perfection and let words flow. I am highly critical of myself and that is not good for creativity. I need to leave the critic out of things until I have something written down.Smiles,Jo Ann
