intoxication is my perfume
the ascendance: part II
poetry recitation
This is part two in a poetry series entitled the ascendance, consisting of four sonnets. Read part one desire is my path here.
intoxication is my perfume
Intoxication is my perfume.
Showering in a candied fantasy.
Echoes of sensuous fragrance yearn around me.
A delicate peach for you to consume.
I need warmth for my sweetness to bloom.
Honeycomb licks, the waggle dance of a bee
Flowers on my tongue, call me your majesty.
Between thighs and ribs is my tender cocoon.
The mist of lunar compassion.
Geranium kisses so soft, they hypnotise.
Pearls drip down my wrist in a Venusian fashion.
Red hair between fingers, a silken paradise.
The seduction of gold on my lashes.
Sirens swim in my thalassic eyes.
What I love about your writing is how much your words challenge me lol I have to access parts of my brain that are now mostly focused on raising a child lol and integrate this new information / new vocabulary and I love it. I love how I have to take a step back, read it a couple of times, listen to your voice and then gain a whole other meaning from it. The sensuality, connection, amorous love is there but I'm so interested in how you form these strings of words -- honeycomb licks, mist of lunar compassion, thalassic eyes... I can go on and on... how you build these worlds, they exist in other galaxies. Your poetry is simply otherwordly Jennae ✨🐝🌌
wow I'm so impressed that you can write sonnets!! And a beautiful one at that.
This is the second time I've seen a post with Sirens in it today, and I am working on a chapter about Sirens for my pirate novel. the universe is conspiring . . .
