cool dark velvet punctuated with jutting hips
lips parted and slicked
sweaty hands placed where wings should be
breath like hot whiskey
kettle drums beat in time to the room
blacked windows loom
fiery motion shudders with touch
final crescendo rush
I am a freelance Graphic Designer and Foodie Hobbyist. I'm married to the most amazing human being I've ever known. I have 3 darling little meows who leave cat hair all over my life. I love museums (art, science and otherwise), dusty little shops with vintage treasures, a stiff drink, quiet libraries, historical biographies, old movies, old music and stinky cheese. I'm always up for live music, and wish I could get over my fear of organized dancing. I grew up in a small town on the west coast and spent my youth in the forests, rivers and ocean of Oregon. I'm a small town girl, with an urban edge. I'm all about shrinking my eco-footprint, supporting local organic farmers, and living a clean vegetarian lifestyle. (The gin not withstanding, and it's really only on special occasions...like Fridays. And Saturdays. :P) I have a flair for the dramatic, and have been known to dress up for any occasion that calls for it, and some that don't.

I think that all poets should frequently use the word "whiskey" in their poems...
Excellent poem...i wish I could be as descriptive as you...one day.
