This one is one of my early works also. I have not revisited it for several years. I am anxious to hear what everyone thinks before I edit and re-write it.

Suspended

Suspended deep in time and space
focused within, oblivious,
all reference bound to a single place.

Consciousness anchored to a touch;
a feathered stroke,
sensed more than felt, saying much.

Dancing lightly on the neck;
a journey begun, exploring,
traveling slowly a sensuous trek.

Down and across a silky plain;
soft curves, hollow traced
amid ecstacies rising reign.

Approaching now to wondrous
mounds;
gently rising, inviting;
evoking gasps at being found.

And sundering deep these two delights;
a cleft, promising
wondrous and intense delights.

Down to seek those hidden treasures;
descending slowly, building
intensely, ever expanding pleasure.

Into the depths to expose,
two surprises, flowers;
a tulip open wide and a tightly budded
rose.

The rose caressed with greatest care,
a sudden gasp, followed
then with hints of deep desire.

The tulip petals softly pushed apart,
revealing within, moist,
a secret pearl at the heart.

And at the slightest meeting
smoldering fires ignited,
opening, inviting with ecstatic greeting.

New veins of knowledge now
demanding,
promising, luring,
requiring depths of understanding.

Drawn onward into the flowers core,
spreading outward, released,
overflowing, enveloping, promising
more.


With each new search within,
new heights surpassed,
but promising more before the end.
When suddenly through the fire,
shuddering tremors, together,
attaining the long sought spire.
