Sonatina


Leave your smell
to sleep on my pillow
leave the chestnuts of your eyes 
to talk to the moon.
 
Leave your fingertips
to play harpsichord,
morning sonatina
on my skin.
Be the witness
of my lustful dreams.
Open the shell
of morning’s yawn,
stretch your limbs,
unclench tense muscles
touch the edge of my lips
where your kiss belongs.
Let me watch you
when you talk to my neck
and shoulders’ valley,
let me watch you
when your smile
talks to the dawn.

    This poem sings its own song - one of soft sensuality and romance and I had visions of a what I call a "morning song" here. This just pulled a deep sigh from me and painted a smile on my face. The music here is so very intimate and tender, free-flowing like water over stones. I agree with Wanda: this sonatina is so very much you... you should have called this Sonjatina! Lovely poetry - thank you for sharing it with us in the contest.

    being the lustful lover of lady poetry, that's a he-poet's impossible dream knowing lady poetry will at best reveal her ankle yet never her knee. are you, though, revealing your knee, lady? in words imbibed with lust unseen yet inebriating, with fragrances unreleased yet invading? the music of words played with such deceiving innocence by a lady which transforms daily more an more into... lady poetry...

    "Open the shell
    of morning’s yawn"



    Lovely poetry to arise by, my Friend...Perhaps it should be called a "Sonjatina", instead, eh?  lol  Good luck in Nic's contest, Sweetie.

    this poem reads very lyrical indeed, this is such a gorgeous 'love song'...it reads & feels so light, and leaves the reader feeling of floating on air. You have captured the essence of the contest theme here perfectly, I think, best of luck, Sonja
