[bodytext] => While I'd yet much to be a man,
I'd fallen for an almost courtesan..
with truthful and immediate eyes
and no time for haggling compromise.
Just 'fore July and in the shade,
upon my lips she plied her trade
and more for pity then quicker coin;
she'd chosen me to be conjoined.
She'd look right through me..and duely saw
the lineaments of a lesser law
and with dexterity of hand and tongue,
brought me the pleasure of being young~
She drew maps I did not understand
that took me on to the promised land;
like the greatest ship with sails undone,
bronzed, naked.. under the noontime sun.
________________________________
Still in the complimenting shade
with lip and tongue and hand she played
grand symphonies now so defined,
beyond the slipping of my mind.
With wind-swept hair and blouse unfurled,
she held the wisdom of my world..
defining me a rabid beast
for an unforgiving moment's lease.
Beyond the sieze, into the flame
of setting sun - from whence she came;
and so I'm back where I began,
still 'reaching' yet to be a man.

Sweet Billy~
An interestingly provocative write - [is it hot in here or what?]
Your diversity is outstanding! I am both surprised and impressed
with each new write. [I keep thinking there must be something he
can't write about] But no! Every thing you lay down makes for an
incredible read and is a hallmark to the talent you possess.
I really enjoyed this one. sooooooo stirringly sensual and sultry. ; )

Um, where's the switch for the fan, lol.
A sensual, provocative write that leaves ur devoted fans feeling the desires and emotions that play in ur mind. It comes to no surprise that u are able to produce outstanding, interesting and enthralling writes. A poet makes a great lover. This is shown through the way u express urself throughout ur magnificient write.
Impressive as always, but u knew I was gonna say that didn't u, lol. Most enjoyable dearest Billy~ Keep up the brilliant work.
love from ur devoted fan/friend,

You know... I don't think I'm brave enough (yet?) to write a piece like this. The fact that you can/do impresses me - and how well you do impresses me more.
Wishing I had written this (though - LOL - a couple of the lines would definitely not be applicable then, eh? hee) -
