Her Kisses Drink Me Up Slowly Poem by Rod M.Peters
Her Kisses Drink Me Up Slowly
Her kisses drink me up slowly
Her mouth sipping keenly
Then playfully holding back,
Her moist lips thirsting,
Her butterfly tongue tired of probing
Depleted calyxes, turned to one
Replenished by keen yearning,
But barely so.
I push her away softly,
Playing the jealous keeper
Of scant, precious nectar,
Unwilling to give all away
Holding with unsure fingers
The last few bargaining chips,
Torn between reason and desire
Then flinging it all on the table
Abandoning all pretense of control.
Now she is stripped of her contrived poise
And turns into a lascivious drunkard
Reaching avidly inside for more
Her butterfly tongue more forceful
Thrusting with unholy thirst
Scooping up the last drop of me
Drinking me to the dregs.
I'm left emptied in a twilight
Of despairing suns
Drained of the quickening force
Fading from man to wraith
A fool bankrupted in a deadly game
Slipping away…
Too weak to tug at the lifeline
Or search for a wooden stake
In the arsenal of mental tricks
Half-dead in a limbo
Of discarded lovers.
ok, i read the interactive words of you and AA below. i don't 'do' well with symbolism. ;) :)
Hi Bri. Great to see you liked this one and, yes, it’s also about a flower and a butterfly! ! ! I like poems that can be read into various contexts or, if you like, on various levels. Also, thanks for your very perceptive grammatical suggestions, always welcomed. In this case I did mean “poise” instead of “poises”, so will change the original. Much obliged, dear friend.

A bit of a raunchy piece written beautifully love the description of the butterfly tongue. It draws you in from start to finish. Nicely done. Annette
Hi Annette: yes, I thought I risked having this one perceived as raunchy but I really used the sexual imagery as an all-encompassing metaphor for the sort of more general interaction where one person is passive and the other is feeding on her. There are actual books written on etheric vampirism.
Hi Rebecca, You're not going to believe this, but I swear I had just read your Dying poem when I got the alert that you had commented on my poem. I mean, what are the odds with over 100,000 poets here? Since I liked your poem will go back and comment. Regards.
