Eroscapes
A smile as sweet as a choco lick
soaked in a juicy peachy blush
a form with curves like a meandering river
rushing in its youthful prime
Eyes which sparkle and instantly ignite
a passion with their seductive charm
lighting up somewhere deep within
fires of smouldering desires
Lips so lucid moistened with dew
softer than the rosy primes
ready to be writ on their velvety petals
verses with ecstatic chimes
The only blemish if there is one
is being wrapped in a see through robe
I wish that the brush had eased its throes
after painting your shapely toes

A very descriptve piece indeed. I've got an image of a houri but you know you've eluded me with that title as it's not listed in the dictionary, but I can anticpiate what you wanted.

You're welcome raj
I think the lady on demand must be v . happy with it.
On my second read however, I noticed two "primes". I thought she must be really a wow :)

Thank you for coming back and
Thank you for coming back and dropping a comment...
haha..the lady in demand?...if you read the last stanza it's about a painting..
this was in fact an attempt at not crossing the line without compromising with the passion...

well spotted, Rula
the two 'primes'. It subtly twists the poem

It can be read
In many ways which is an advantage, I believe.
The brush could be of the creator's. Or at least how I read it.

Hi again Rula
You are spot on...that's the abstract part of the poem...in fact i wanted to know if it's perceived both ways...thanks for the confirmation..

the poem expresses abstracts well, withought using them
and a restrained use of simile preferring metaphor. Much more effective, it always sounds silly to me when someone says 'a smile like juicy peaches'.
Lovely, eloquent use of language, Raj.
My only crit is that the last verse has, to me, a taint of moral overtones. There is nothing wrong with the complete revelation of the human form, the holding back is a bit like saying the burkah makes women more sexy. Mystery is not an attraction in itself, in fact it the mystification of human form tends towards objectifying it more than revelation does.
