Kindled
A Matter of Perspective
Delicately beautiful, she strolled through my space,
Interrupting my work, disrupting my pace.
Sensualities rose to fluster my mind,
Tantalizing my body and
Rerouting my time. ~~~~
Aphrodite, my lover, my goddess of bliss,
Cythera of Cyprus, I long for her kiss.
Time escapes, I’ve abandoned my tasks,
In her arms, caresses, and
Opulence bask. ~~~~
Notice from boss; “You’re fired.”

I First Saw Him
When I first saw him sitting on the wall, relaxed and looking out over the water, I was sure he wasn't a local. Not including children, there are only about 250 or 300 of us in this area full-time, though that number is ten-fold in the summer, and I know everyone at least by sight or by family resemblance. And yet, the way he sat looked familiar and started my mind sorting and discarding among the families I knew, not quite like this one, not quite like that one.

😍😍😍
Gorgeous poem with a witty ending! I love this!
I absolutely loved this - it took me back to my favourite wildcard poems I'd bring to literature seminars at uni. Amazing work!
Fun ending. I didn't see that coming.

J.S. this was a great acrostic! I love the sexuality of your word choices and your description of lust/ love! Great work! Also, congratulations on Top Story, sorry I'm late to the party! 🎉
well explained thoughts
YES!! Congratulations on Top Story!! 🤗❤️
nice
This...is spectacular. All that beautiful language you used in the beginning and the way you swept us all away with your brilliant use of words, only to dump us with that kicker of a twist at the end. I certainly was distracted enough that I didn't see it coming. Well done on a thoroughly deserved Top Story!
Good one:)
Absolutely brilliant! You evoked a very intense feeling of love and romantic sensibilities with the hard hitting dose of reality in the end! Excellent job ♥️Congratulations on your top story
Ahh I loved it! It was so visual and amazing and wonderfully done… and then the little twist at the end. That’s what happens with distraction! Great work!
Perfect ending! Fantastic work! 👏 🎉
