The Musician's Touch




He  strokes her long, slender,
smooth neck, sliding up and down
in a rhythmic motion

gently  plucks her fragile strings
with razor sharp precision
she yields to his callused fingers

her curvaceous glossy
body warms against his skin
creating a soft melody of
insatiable desire, melting
into a rhapsody

coarse, hot and jagged notes
amplify their song  in a star-studded
night

he knows how to rock her world
playing a lover's song

written for dVerse

  2. This poem and Dwight's need to meet for a coffee! Seriously, though, I love the sensuous textures - especially liked the warming body, that was a little unexpected - and you pull the theme through to the end beautifully.

  6. Truedessa, whether your lover was playing a guitar, or you, the sensuality was beautiful. Great piece... :-)

    Hi Mary, what a kaleidoscope of wonderful textures. Excellent write...:-)

  7. I remember back in the 1970s, when female rock guitarists like Nancy Wilson and Joan Jett were borderline controversial because they played electric guitar. Electric guitars were considered more appropriate for men to play (although acoustic guitars were asexual, y'might say). Your poem took this so-called masculine instrument and gave it a feminine quality. Love it!

  9. Love how you and Roth had the same thought... though with the softness of your player I thought more of a cello at first.

  10. I like the description of his playing with "razor sharp precision" and the guitar's yielding to calloused fingers.
