Euphoria.

by Courageous Dreamer   Aug 18, 2012


You often catch me
unexpectedly,
apron painted like Pollock's art,
cake batter smudged
upon my skin.

Suddenly, you tug
at the knot tied around my pencil waist
while your breath skims
my spine. You sketch the rest
with your fingertips as you
often swirl marble cake.

A smirk teases your lips
as euphoria takes over,
for you've shown affection
with passion that
strung our hearts together
from the beginning.

    Oh Temps, this is just so YOU! I love how you reference cakes and aprons and all things bakery :) It makes me picture you and the person you're talking of playing around at work having food fights like little kids haha

    I love the use of unexpectedly-isn't that when our "Private moments" are the most meaningful and cherished? When we're not expecting something and our loved one does something, whether it's romantic or even just a silly word or gesture...it's what makes those moments unique to each relationship.

    Honestly, when I first saw the title you asked to be commented I assumed it was going to be something cliche and referencing paradise and such (And yes I'm guilty of that, too) How very glad I was to be proven wrong! I find this whole poem to be beautifully scripted, filled with lovely imagery and emotion and the fact you reference cakes and baking as I said is just..icing on the cake? haha! Because it adds YOU to it.

    Lovely.

    I agree with Darren, there is a lot of love and affection.
    I like the descriptive language you have constructed this poem to have, it allows me to be able to see it all come to life when I read every word.
    Every stanza is unique yet all links well to this theme of making a cake.
    The emotion of love and happiness really sets the scene.

    Thankyou for sharing great talent
    enjoyed every bit
    5.5 from me
