imbued with
the lusty scent
of your edible sex
tangibly textured air
permeates
the fabric
of my voracious core
each breath
I inhale you,
savor your taste
on my insatiable tongue
as
your essence lingers
long after you have gone
longing stirs deep within
to retrace
intoxicating moments
of
alchemists
morphing furious passion
into gold
dreams
deliver me
to
the threshold of delirium
falling in muted darkness
where
time stands still
saturated sheets
swallow
serpentine shadows
the
silent witness
to
nocturnal transmissions

Author notes
Waking in the middle of the night from dream drenched sleep these words rolled out, hence “Nocturnal Transmission”. Reliving, recapturing that which has passed but left its indelible and delicious memory emblazoned on my passion’s hard drive…and that’s worth remembering. Here’s my take on all that.

Now I feel incredibly inferior in my ability to write of such things. This is wonderful.
-
excellent!
What a very strong piece here!
Nicely done and very expressive.

This poem was so
breathtaking 
luckily, I had these things called dictionary next to me to look up some of the wonderful words you used in this poem... you made me feel perplexed...
It's the first poem I read of this contest, and I'm already ashamed entering this one with my... euhm... rather crappy poem compared with this
Good luck in this contest!

Stunning transmission of ecstasy!
Wow, what a sexy, extremely sensual poem that sends shivers down the spine, causing stars under the skin - you had me drooling from "your edible sex" to the "saturated sheets swallow serpentine shadows" - very effective alliteration too!! A stunning poem that defines ecstasy in all its scents, colours, tastes, touches - indulging all the senses. This is the first erotic poem of yours that I have read and I am so happy that it happened to be me in my contest, Henri. This poem shines with such beauty and passion, wonderful imagery, very good word choice and metaphors - this is indeed the poetry in motion that I had in mind! I prefer to read erotica like this: with elegance and sheer sensuality and something left for the imagination! While reading I was just wondering how this poem would look if you put it to the left side of the page and play with the layout a little? I think that would enhance the poetic beauty and impact of this poem even more.
Yes, I too can relate to the saving of passionate nights on the memory's hard drive. As someone once said "happiness is something you remember...". What I also adored about your poem is how you weaved loving memories, passion, sensuality and delirium (perplexity) into an totally captivating, breathtaking experience. Thank you for entering this super sensual nocturnal transmission!

That is some discrition, very very visual, and very torrid, The thing I liked about this of one of the many things I liked is its total honesty of feeling, not many people have the courage to say what they feel in a moment like this, the flow is perfect and I found it very good both in the technical as well as the artistic , I would not have the courage to do a poem like this, so I think it is brilliant that you have done so. This must be some love affair, your passion for him is very clear ,well done keep penning my friend you have what it takes t make a good poet.
-
such a sensual piece. I very much like the word play within. i wonder what channel those nocurnal transmissions come in on ... ? that was quite a cosmic vibration you tuned into, you expressed yourself very well
-
... you caught me again ... LOL LOL LOL

Blu -
This is a really good poem. It reminds me of my fiance
-
Very nice read
That was very nice. You know when you look up the side of the screen where the picture is it give the illusion that your watching the act live? Truly a delite to read. Please critc a poem. -
woah. Cool in a really creepy sort of way I dunno what it was about this i loved but i enjoyed it. I got chills. Great write
~R|$KY~ -
Breath-taking
You give me goose-bumps. I remember having nights like that, once upon a time, in love. However I'm still too numb from the loss to truly apreachiate every fiber of my being calling out at this poem. -
Ah, yes...I remember it well. Celibacy can be trying at times...particularly when I've read a piece such as this. Stirs embers I'd been keeping banked. No sleep for me tonight, I think.
-
sensational!
mmmmm, sensual shivers...this poem gets more than just your creative juices flowing! what amazing imagery! A perfectly crafted whole poem, with each phrase a precious gem - I really liked the 'alchemists morphing furious passion into gold' you are experiencing the gold of your memories, and by the words you use, it is still hot molten stuff! Also the 'permeates the fabric of your voracious core' is so evocative, as if you are still in such close contact essences are infusing through every pore until there is osmosis, a blurring of the line where you stop and she begins, a blurring of the line where reality stops and fantasy begins. I do know all about dreams delivering me to the threshold of delirium, it can be a very seductive madness and it is good to have the gift of poetry to allow a certain catharsis, to let words flow where emotions sometimes can no longer truly go. And your final verse, you don't let up for a moment on the sensuality of this - serpentine shadows, I was reminded a little of Coppola's 'Dracula' where the women rise up through the sheets to seduce Jonathon, how much substance do these shadows have on the rumpled, saturated sheets? A deliciously disturbing poem, for all the right reasons! You may inhale her memory, but your exhalation of words so vividly crafted resusitates us all - thank you! -
There is a plant here in Arizona.. I honestly don't know its name..but it must bloom only in the warm summer monsoon season. When I step outside.. I get the immediate scent of semen.
Since my relations with men have been infrequent of late..LOL..this is the scent that brings me back to the most amazing memories.
Amazing how your write tossed my mind in this direction. I thank you..:)
I have only just discovered your writings...but you have an amazing way with words and description.
I really enjoyed your write..
My best to you..
Mary Ann -
sexxy! This is deliciously sensual...Tickles all the right places.
yummy yum yum
of course this Scorpio digs this one!
-
was this about sex???? lol I'm like Myra, I find it difficult to comment as well...I feel like a voyeure sometimes when I read these LOL but I must admit, this was written so tastefully and had such a sweet charm about it...I hope the dream never ends!!! so beautifully written Henri!!
-
I think I'll join that queue of women in your virtual fan club, moments between the sheets remembered are always worth revisiting as often as possible! Your passion seeps from every line, your sensuality causes us (well, ok, me) to reread it, to taste it again and again, before I finally put down a comment and then hesitantly leave the moment. I've heard you sing and your voice resounds in this work. Low, deliberate, honest. Beautiful. So, where do I sign up for an autograph? lol!!!
-
Henri, I really liked these lines...
your essence lingers
long after you have gone
longing stirs deep within
to retrace...
you perfectly describe/explore the essence of desire.
Thank you, Maria
-
Worth remembering indeed, I have a few of those memories myself - these days I find myself clinging to them but in reality hope that I'll have new and improved memories to replace them. Strong writing, creative and just absolutely incredible writing. You do have a way with words Henri - I see you have all the females riled hehe - Peace ~ B
-
one of the best of erotica I've read on this site..Henri..a wonderful, effortless, seemingly unselfconcious, outflow of your passion..well done...and yes, quite exciting.
-
Well Henri, this woke me up! Far more potent than any cup of caffeine... LOL! I really like the format of this piece – it’s very different than your usual 4 line stanzas - there's a genuine sense of free flowing thoughts… uninhibited, very much like the dream about which you are writing. As for your words… well, they are lusciously alluring… Much enjoyed this one – thank you. Helen
-
Sexy and exciting. The form is very well done. Excellent work, Henri...
:-)
Hugs.

COLD SHOWER!!!!!!
here i am back for more...dipping into the incredible erotica of your mind....Whoa...how incredible. This read could really be dangerous....should come with a black box warning for those who do not have adequate means of releasing pressure immediately following this read!!!
-
Hey Victoria thanks for the tip on "dithering". Took your advice and like it much better now. Thanks bud!
Henri -
Visualized passion
Hallo Henri
I find it difficult to comment on poetry in the erotic genré; I guess it is because I am a sheltered (and feel safe) within a shell of subtle sensuality
Your poem is tactile and yes, erotic. That in itself is highly evocative ... The replay of reality within dreams and vice versa naturally may have its own reinforcing effects LOL
As usual I've filed my private impressions of your word paintings, and I will most certainly remember the vistas and hues.
Dream on, Poet!

edible sex....
a small flinch
like a tic
passes
a trickle of sweat
pools
under a blushing moon
leave me breathless
in the center street
3 shots of whiskey
strips me naked
while you whisper
thank you
still so greatful...
eheeehemm... well i did so like where you sent me with THIS one... umm.. may have an undercover moment LOL
-
Superb !!
Superb Henri !!! And them some more.
You have such a unique way with words...gorgeous flow to this...the imagery is beautiful...passionate expression...
Enjoyed it , thoroughly
~ Sonia ~ X -
Excellent! Loved it!
LOL @ Victoria's comment! Your passionate poem lingers with me..."a delicious memory worth remembering".
Maureen
-
well *ahem* oh my!!! (blushes) doesnt help I suppose that being dyslexic I actually read this as nocturnal emmisions several times (blushes even more) lol
only slight thing that I was uneasy with was use of the word dithers, just didnt seem to fit somehow, lingers would be too much of a cliche but felt that might have been a word you first used then discarded?...just unhappy with the thought of someones essance dithering I suppose...the rest of the poem is too powerful for it to sit right...if the essence remains maybe? ...I don't know dithering myself now
great work as always, just that one damm word lol
thank you for this poem
Victoria xxXxx
