Outrageous Modesty (Mirrored Verse)

Statues fear not modesty outraged

Wind can’t their fig leaves shift

Impromptu rendezvous in twinklings insist

Seeking fulfilling tryst

Aiding attires off unscrupulous bodies

Frivilous and agilely swift

Seemingly superfluous impediments

Reduce to filamentous heaps

In arrhythmia of exhaled breath

And veins radiating heat

Strewn garments and garters appear

Accessories of an innocuous game

Adlibbing innocently

Outrageous modesty

-Amusingly-

Outrageous modesty

Adlibbing innocently

Accessories of an innocuous game

Strewn garments and garters appear

And veins radiating heat

In arrhythmia of exhaled breath

Reduce to heaped filaments

Seemingly superfluous impediments

Frivilous and agilely swift

Aiding attires off unscrupulous bodies

Seeking fulfilling tryst

Impromptu rendezvous in twinklings insist

Wind can’t their fig leaves shift

Statues fear not modesty outraged

Bhawana - you're adorable. With such a sroll and quill, I could write for eternity. As for writing in this artform - it springs from my fascination for palindromes since childhood - infact, there's a group of people who just write poetry in this form. Thank you, my precious friend.

Charity - you paint with colors and I with words, but the SOURCE is the same. What you and I do will remain long after we're gone and that was the joy of creation we possessed for a while. Thank you for the reminder.

Charity - somewhere deep down I feel convinced that this short repreive is just an introduction to our eternal destiny - we'll we doing the very same in the hereafter only better - I expressed this thought in my recent post here - "Pearls From Silence" -

"This awareness shall someday depart
To wherever it needs return
The lexis within shall help begin
Much more, in those other worlds."

This is really good. I love the way this form works. The words, so exact and true, are always well placed by you...
Every time I find another of your poems I am amazed by your talent to stir the heart with emotion, whether laughter, love, desire or just peace.
