So I decided to try my hand at poetry as well as sexy shorts. I found a nice poetry prompt website that’s very basic – it gives me words to use and a “situation” and I go from there. I’ve found it quite liberating trying my hand at this poetry. I’ll keep the poetry here on the blog… I’ll use the poem title as the blog title. I’ll also give the title again along with the words the prompt generator gave me.
And yes, when you see the words, I had to use google to figure out what Hermeneut even was.
Ephemeral Fingers (bestow, vestigial, Hermeneut, undeleted, unbound)
In midnight’s waning glow,
Secret occupations, two souls bestow
The flutter of fingertips, tracing so light
Shivers, blurring wrong from right.
Falsehood and truth, do twine,
Undeleted whispers weave a love so fine.
Through vestigial remnants of a past left behind,
Searching for a sensation, rare to find.
Softness is received, a touch so profound,
Turns empty space to reality, as senses unbound.
Puck’s playful fingers, mischief might tease,
But in this stolen moment, only each they please.
Hermeneut of desire, deciphering every lie,
Every letter, every character, as time does fly.
In this dance of touch and tantalizing view,
They lose and find themselves, ever anew.
