Click below to hear me read this poem.
My imagination is fertile ground
Fantasies spring up in every crack
In every crevice like fragrant buds
Why would I venture outside this garden
When within these walls I am lithe and limber
As tender and receptive as a new shoot
In my mind you are beautiful and sleek and strong
Intuitive hands surprise and delight me
Our bodies entwine like hungry vines
Why would I seek flesh and blood
For any mere mortal must surely disappoint
Beside the rapturous skills of the one imagined
The petals of my flower open to your seduction
In my Eden you plant and sow, and plant and sow
You take root and I writhe beneath your shaft of light
Lovely but alone, I bloom

So glad I was able to get your heart rate going.
My daughter was hubsurfing, saw the email about this and came yelling to me: "come see what beatiful poem your friend randy has written".
Well randy, you did it for her, she's smiling from ear to ear. she made me go to all you hubs, copy - paste - print. TXxx
Another great lil poem my friend, enjoyed it !
" Lovely but alone, I bloom " that is so poetic Randy and how I wish I could, alone I fade and die like a flower left unwatered.
Oh my Pauli, how old is your daughter? Perhaps she thought this was about... gardening? Next time I'll write one about lollipops, I promise.
BC, I thought you might enjoy this. :)
Cabin Girl, We need to learn to be alone first I think. Let another be an accent to who you are, not the trellis of it.
I talk big of course, but there is no amount of imagining that can replace a man's hands.
You have an excellent way with words! "shaft of light" is great.
I lost sight of the flowers...steam you know....great poem...wonderful images! :)
Thanks Kea! I just love a double meanings don't you?
I'm glad you liked it Tom. You needn't be able to "see" the flowers. Brail works :)
Beautifully crafted
Hey RB....very sexy...just like you!!! Fertile ground indeed...LOL
Yes, I love the double meanings. Glad you didn't use something lame like "light saber" :) Keep rockin'
Nice to meet you KP! I'm glad you like it.
Where you been Blue? And thank you!
Kea if I ever do a sensual sci-fi poem I might have to use that!
I moved...new house....and been swamped at work....like I needed all that at once....been missing my hubbuddies.....hope all is going great on your side of the country.
It feels like the economy is turning around. Wish I could say we're "swamped." I'm adjusting, learned how to mow my lawn and check my water tanks. :)
You'll make it RB...I've got confidence in you....now you get it too!!....and I thought those were "milk" tanks....or was I just checking the wrong thing again???
wowza, wowza!
Blue, funny guy. Ya I'm learning how to take care of all my own needs. lol.
Golden Boy, Thanx, Thanx.
Wow! This is moving, Randy. At least I'm moving. Oh my, how I am moving. Really beautiful. You capture the beauty of the imagination and fantasy, and how perfectly we picture things to be. Well done!
Oh Chris I'm glad it moved you. I'm afraid I'm setting myself up for a fall, as my imagination is quite vivid.
Wow, I like it, but what I like the most is the sudden conclusion... I bloom! I think it's called Caesura.
Really something.
This was great Randy, your imagination the garden everything!
Shamelabboush, I didn't know that's what its called, or if did, I've long since forgotten. Thanks for the education.
Thanks Hawk! I'm pleased you liked it.
Just beautiful...again, love your word paint.
Again, dream of being painted.
I do finger painting!!!!
One of my fantasies!
Somehow I would have guessed that.....but I can't find any white paint...I'll just have to use cream cheese or whipped cream.....don't worry...I'll clean up the mess!!!
ahh the afterglow... thanks for sharing :D
No Blue cream cheese won't do. I want to be painted like a tiger or a lizard... no dairy won't do.
I dunno, I keep coming back here. Here's to your imagination, O creative one.
Cris I'm glad you came by to read this one. I'm always disappointed when I don't get your critique.
Not Telling, since you are "new" and everything you should read some of my older stuff. "He Comes in Dreams" perhaps. ;)
That was really beautiful, I love how you play with words. I am going to look for more... Thank you!!
Moonchild - I'm glad you like my stuff. I'm a fan of yours as well.
Another Gem, Bravo Randy!
Thank You Trooper, I'm pleased you like my stuff :)
Where was the cold shower disclaimer?
Great line about bodies entwining like hungry vines. Then things got pornographic in a flowery sort of way. Nice touch.
Yea, even I cringe at "plant and sow" in repetition, but lord hates a coward.
Beautiful. I now you filed this under 'Lust' but you make it very poetic and lyrical. Great poetry. No cringing here.. excellent sexual metaphor
Luke thanks for visiting my hubs. Most of my poems are in the lust category, but I hope they are all poetic and lyrical. I'm glad you didn't cringe. :)
I love the sensual imagery
Thanks for visiting Candice.
welcome to JP...
elegant piece, enjoyed the word flow.
A++
Thanks Jingle!
Sad & sensual at the same time.
This is what poetry is all about.
Exquisite!
Thanks for sharing.
I'm glad this pleased you Andy.
seductive!
Thanks for coming by Sina.
Thoughts don't argue back, clomp mud through the house or take one for granted. Men! Who needs them?
Sigh... me.

Lovely, sensual. A work of art - but portable, to carry in my mind, echoed in my heightened pulse.
