Can't catch my breath

when you're around

You are a buzzing

in my gypsy hair

An exposed oyster

on my tongue

The flesh of

ripe mango

on my lips

Yes, you are

under my nails

thick, warm mud

Molten decadence

raw and wet

Sea salt and

Caribbean breeze

Thank you, Dwayne.

I'm guessing that my girlfriend being gone the past couple of weeks has something to do with it, but I thought that was hot.

Thanks for posting to the Molten Decadence Wall on The Triple Name Club where it's now featured.

Thank you for the feature, Len.

Nice!

You sure do these well.
JustMe ~I'm happy to be~ Jun 29, 2012, 2:50pm UTC
Thank you very much, Pam.

Well done JustMe ~ Thanks for sharing this with us in Artistic Minds® and the other Groups.

You've always been good with poetics ~ and that has not changed.

Love & Blessings,
Rene

Thank you so much, Rene!

Your metaphors touch each body part, and so much more! Passionate relationships can live in fantasy as well (at least as well?) as in life. Beautifully written, Michelle.
JustMe ~I'm happy to be~ Jun 29, 2012, 4:27pm UTC
I hope real life will be much better than any fantasy I can devise and/or write about. :)

I woke up this morning with a few of the key words in this poem running through my brain.

xx Thank you, friend.
JOHN BECK Jun 29, 2012, 4:33pm UTC
Hope is good. Real life is good.
JustMe ~I'm happy to be~ Jun 29, 2012, 5:10pm UTC
It's "all good". :)
Sam Henderson Jun 29, 2012, 5:19pm UTC
Thank you for sharing with What It's Like To Be... in the Carribean, in lust, in love, hot 'n bothered, feelin' good!

JustMe ~I'm happy to be~ Jun 29, 2012, 5:22pm UTC
Thank you so much, Sam, and thank you for the feature!

Did my story (Finale of it) reach your group? I hope so.
Sam Henderson Jun 29, 2012, 6:18pm UTC
It did indeed, kinda hard to focus on that now (though).
JustMe ~I'm happy to be~ Jun 29, 2012, 6:37pm UTC
It's absolutely fine. I was just checking.
Sam Henderson Jun 29, 2012, 8:37pm UTC
I think everyone is a little dizzy with the intoxication of this little piece here ... lingering in the blue warm waters ....:)
JustMe ~I'm happy to be~ Jun 29, 2012, 9:50pm UTC
Thank you! Now please be kind and pass me another piña colada! :)
Sam Henderson Jun 29, 2012, 10:18pm UTC
Girl Friend, that makes three. I say it's time to dance....they're doing the Limbo!
A. F. Stewart Jun 29, 2012, 5:22pm UTC
Very steamy.
JustMe ~I'm happy to be~ Jun 29, 2012, 5:23pm UTC
Passion should be, I think. :)~
Peter Joseph Swanson Jun 29, 2012, 5:25pm UTC
Nice!
JustMe ~I'm happy to be~ Jun 29, 2012, 5:26pm UTC
Glad you think so. (Going to put on my coconut bra now and eat some spicy rice and beans........just kidding........smile)
mary v. Jun 29, 2012, 5:41pm UTC
Deep.
JustMe ~I'm happy to be~ Jun 29, 2012, 6:36pm UTC
Thanks for stopping by, mary.
elizabeth evans Jun 29, 2012, 5:55pm UTC
Oh, I do love this one....so descriptive...as I was reading I could taste a Wellfleet oyster salty on my tongue and then mango juice running down my chin.
JustMe ~I'm happy to be~ Jun 29, 2012, 6:36pm UTC
Perfect! Thanks, bob. xx

You are sooooo featured on Poet's Weekly Muse! I think this is my favorite of all your poems...it's so full of color, texture, and excitement!
JustMe ~I'm happy to be~ Jun 29, 2012, 8:14pm UTC
Wow! Thanks, Jan!!!!

And thank you for the feature!
Is you me? Sigh ... I guess no more than me is you. You can be so confusing. So can me.
P.S. Thoroughly enjoyable, top shelf poetry.
JustMe ~I'm happy to be~ Jul 6, 2012, 7:59pm UTC
Just saw your comment, my friend and giggled! :)

Thank you, dear Magi.

Oh my, Michelle! This poem is so YOU ~ your poetic talent knows no bounds...the sensuality, the wonder of love and the passion are intoxicating to read and inhale!

Passion for life and love is the one ingredient we should never lose, I believe <3
