jchpiper Posted January 11, 2008 Share Posted January 11, 2008 The Ride My loins straddle the dapple gray Her sinews 'neath my thighs She shakes her head, impetuous fervor Awaiting my signal to embark the ride Forward I lean, her neck to embrace She turns her face, crystal blue eye Filled with excitement, it speaks to me Nostrils flare, arousal is high I read her, she reads me I sit upright, we both breathe deep Silver mane now in my palms Anticipation's climax, heart's pulsing beat Bodies' rhythms dance as equals She detects the press from my knees Tossing her head, she springs forward Nothing but wind beneath her feet Passionate fury, we move as one Rainbow's edge, far side of the storm Freedom once tasted, never forgotten Upon my dapple gray unicorn august 12, 2oo7 judith piper btw: In my more conservative days, I would have thought this poem .... hmmm.... veering toward the not quite godly and opening the door perhaps to debil spurts. Nice to be rid of that and to allow the mind and heart to explore... yah.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sojourner Posted January 11, 2008 Share Posted January 11, 2008 Thats beautiful and for me quite meaningful as grey is much more who I am than black and white. I find much freedom avoiding extremism. So to me your unicorn is a way of life, a way of riding freedom that is in the middle and has many shades and I personally find much enjoyment there. sojourner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jchpiper Posted January 12, 2008 Author Share Posted January 12, 2008 Oh my... I'm a little embarrassed. Thank you for the comments and responses. ******************************** Sojourner...I never thought of the gray symbolism. But I agree. I did think of the freedom symbolism. In my prior days, unicorns were "suspect," so I kept my love for these fanciful creatures secret. I was raised around horses and (as most folks know), in an equine relationship there is an intimate communication between horse and rider. ****************************** Thanks for the dubs Doctor. Does it come with $$ ******************************** Yes Graphics...there is an erotic side to it. Though I didn't have that in mind when I penned it, the eros became obvious when I read it to my husband. :-) I've posted another one below that has as an erotic flavor....magnolias hold a certain "sway" (*chuckle*) over me. I penned it in response to a November poetry challenge....certain words and phrase usages and tone. ********************************* Grumpy....thank you and yes I have more. Here: Nekot's Tokens. Once linked you can scroll down and click a title. There are a few (which really are more rants without too much poetic value) don't show up because I have them linked to a restricted forum. I went ahead and put a link in my signature too. Hope that is not deemed too weird. *********************************** Elliptical Enchantment Stately magnolia Regal, splendid, statuesque Lush open flower White cradling pink Among green and mahogany Beneath her eloquent boughs Pillows of moss and clover Scattered boulders among pine needles Harshness of life's survival Seeds awaiting birth Gracefully she sways Earthly rhythms serenade Sweet fragrance envelops every sense Bathed in warm breezes Swaddled in elliptical enchantment She stretches toward the heavens To glimpse the soft horizon Setting of the celestial sphere Moonlit stars, nature's graffiti Trundling the cusp of the Milky Way I behold your form ~magnolia's blossom~ I gaze into your eyes ~rivers of mahogany~ I feather your flesh with fingertips ~more delicate than moss and clover~ I drink in your fragrance ~intoxicating sweet breezes~ Sensuous lyrical whispers ~rhythm rocks our souls~ Luminous hypnotic aura ~immersed in celestial shadow~ Enticing flower opens ~ripples of desire~ Elliptical ecstasy ~horizon of nativity~ Entwined in delicate symmetry Cradled in the afterglow Breath's survival, awaiting birth Circle of life Riding the cusp of the Milky Way november 6, 2oo7 judith piper http://poetrypages.com/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=53763 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MathGeek Posted January 12, 2008 Share Posted January 12, 2008 I love those poems. They are well-written and very vivid. If a third eye could be opened by words, then WOW! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jchpiper Posted January 12, 2008 Author Share Posted January 12, 2008 Thank ee mathg... Thanks for the dubs Doctor. Does it come with $$ Sadly no, but you can proudly tell everyone you know about your title and where it came from! Lucky, lucky you! Well, most folks wouldn't be shocked as to where it came from. As I was never a trinitarian (in the conventional sense), most bible thumpers considered me non-christian anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
