Blended ink( a dedication)

It's like this..
I 'rubbed the bottle' n' poof!
She appears out nowhere
With sweet n' soft caresses,
Coupled with words she expresses
The thoughts that take you there

I'm lavishing praise, so astonished by her power
I'm emotionally intoxicated, n' mentally elated..
as each time, 'I lose the minute in her hour'

Summoned from the gentle rub
My prison he released me from
This mist I am no more
Human form I stand as one
I speak soft words to my new Lord
What shall I do for you?

A single wish? A sweet soft kiss?
Let me intoxicate you….
Grant your dreams, set me free, I belong now just to you

A single wish? A sweet soft kiss?
Let me intoxicate you….
Grant your dreams, set me free, I belong now just to you
You need not do more , I know what you can do
This is why in this ink, I'm blessed by you

I'm lavishing on praise, so astonished by her power true
this  time, 'I lose the minutes by 2 in her hour's view
I'm emotionally intoxicated, n' mentally elated..
With pen in hand, so long I've waited..

Your pen I enchant, with grace and elegance
Grant your dreams, shall you explore my Lord
I stop the time so none will be lost
Your ink will always be full,
As I now just belong to you….

As you scribe I will set by your side
Casting dreams into your mind, making them come true
I share my power, for not just an hour
Just to be close to you…

    I don't know how I missed this one dear man, afterall, it is at the top of your collection. Sleeping I guess. LOL

    There's plenty evidence of adoration in this lyrical work of moving words. You, and Lisa have performed superbly together. The silky flow, and my ability to relate to every word surely brought a smile to my face, and sparked my spirit, leaving me with a warm afterglow.

    You know firsthand that I love collaborations here at AP. The caliber of talent on this site makes it easy to find another poet who can easily finish our sentences, and work well in joint efforts to construct something as delicate, and beautiful as this melodic poem.

    SPLENDID WORK, BOTH OF YOU!


    Much LOVE & Many Blessings ♥

    This is a great verse and I can relate to its words completely. You have given poetry a persona and let the reader take the ride with you.

    That is so utterly cute. I like how it switches in between views. The quotes around some of the lines tell the story like it is. I have a problem with the "n' ", but that may just be because I'm OCD. It's written nicely and the flow is gorgeous. The rhyming scheme is almost whimsical. Thank you for sharing this.

    Ah, 'tis a fine write; and that it did. Yoou expressed yourself quite well, and I agree with you. It also reminded me of an old TV comedy show, I think It was called "I Dream of Jeannie", and starred Larry Hagmann, I've always thought of it as one of the funniest shows on TV.

    I feel the fine fine lined blend
    The lid taken off of the indigo blue bottle
    And the grand-slam of poof proof
    As inspiration along with elemental intoxication
    Wriggles from wrist to pen with the muse on
    And the lovely Lisa is the shine in the infusion
    Two who share the same page
    The Pen The Paper The Same Stage
    It's a solid harmonic harmony
    Happy Thanksgiving
    For all the love love love
    And for the dance with Mistress Poetry
