Days when I wake up as clay
are most memorable.
Body pliant.
Yielding at slightest brush.
A coolness hands reach for
and remain
but firmness that clearly states,
“Take care with how you touch me again”
I recede where fingers press
expand where pressure’s less
channel flesh to turn where you suggest.
I am suppleness personified
while you ponder
renew incumbent thoughts
and delight in endless choices,
the pause ‘ere pleasure’s expression
sings a myriad of voices
as moisture calls
as earth I answer
words gentle yet sure
that place me center
as spinning starts
as water drips
raised to heights and depths
with endless grips
for glistening wetness
that shan’t find lips.
A living artwork,
dynamic form.
I am release personified,
a resonant rotational sphere.
I am breaths with which one sighed
since I joy in axial adoration,
a dance I know too well.
It is bliss to be thus fashioned.
Ecstasy to be so held
stretched to sheerness sleekness shape.
I am fluid curves in motion
aromatic oils and smoothest lotion
galaxies consumed by universal ocean.
Yes,
I birthed a night full of dreams
to summon fruition today.
I always bring easy
although,
some hands are not
but to awaken as holy vessel retains lessons
seldom easily forgot.

This was brilliant
"As earth I answer" was the line I lingered on ❤️
Absolutely amazing. Those first two lines are really going to stick in my head. Well done!!
Gorgeous and immersive pice, Dani! "I am release personified" That line is so powerful! Incredible poem!
Well-crafted and evocative. Loved the poem! Merry Christmas ❤
Well this was a sumptious and powerful piece. Loved how positive it was, as Dharr said. And as Randy alluded, you truly have a gifted touch for eloquence in poetry...eloquence, clever and never without deep emotion. Loved this piece a lot! Well done.
Gosh this was so positive, uplifting and powerful! Loved your poem! Merry Christmas! 🥰🥰🥰
Words so eloquently subtle & exquisitely malleable, but only to the finest touch. The brute clumsiness of my words can provide no answer to evoke the wondrous responses of which you speak. In other words, well said, Dani. Now I think I'll go take a cold shower & think about my life choices.
This was a wonderful poem! and I really liked its form.
Truly inspirational . 💜
It is a gift to read your poems. Happy Holidays Dani ! 🩵
