• Fanning the Flame
• By Poetess Lily Mae

______________________________

The sun matched the color of her hair 
and for a moment he was blinded 

(The sun is a symbol of power and energy. The matching of powerful sun with black hair brings a moment of blindness)

Yet all his senses fully aware of her milky white 
thighs soft as satin as she mounted his fire 

(Lust is to the other passions what the nervous fluid is to life; it supports them all, lends strength to them all ambition, cruelty, avarice, revenge, and all founded on lust)

Both inhaled deeply as the beat of the earths 
heart pulsed through their veins 

(Body is made of veins and bones, any sensual element is quite natural for human beings. It is not ugly at all)

Defying all preconceived notions 
her water only fueled his flame as they both ignited 

(Lust tastes like tequila, love tastes like whiskey. Love burns for longer, warms you up on the inside and sometimes makes you do stupid things. You get wasted on lust and warmed on love)

 Sun drenched hair fell over her breasts 
As her blue eyes locked into his 

(When People wait around too long for love, they will be happy with all of the lusts accumulated within them)

Mesmerized by her gaze he surrendered 
his sparks rose from the coals and seared her cries 

(Greed, envy, sloth, pride and gluttony: these are not vices anymore. No, these are marketing tools. Lust is our way of life. Envy is just a nudge towards another sale. Even in our relationships we consume each other, each of us looking for what we can get out of the other. Our appetites are often satisfied at the expense of those around us. )

Still for a moment she rocked fanning his flame 
with her hands locked into his, grasping hold 

(It is amazing why people are afraid of lust. Then, comes the imagination and fear  that they are very afraid too much,  for all are having  great lust for everything. A lust for life, a lust for how the summer-heated street feels beneath my feet, a lust for the touch of another's skin on my skin...a lust for everything)

Unbinding from the hold for just one moment 
she laid next to him,  inhaling the escaping smoke 

(When beauty is discovered on the naked body, lust erupted.  When heaven is in front,  they saw the future  in a dream)

Then feeling the heat against her moist tender lips while 
savoring the taste of their liquid flame on the tip of her tongue 

Desire -

(There is no fulfillment that is not made sweeter for the prolonging of desires)

• READ BETWEEN THE LINES

______________________________

" I hunger for your sleek laugh and your hands the color of a furious harvest. I want to eat the sunbeams flaring in your beauty.”  These words are from the famous writer Pablo Neruda.In literature, especially in poetry, beauty takes an upper hand with regard to women.

There are three distinct types or stages of "love": Lust, or erotic passion, Attraction, or romantic passion, Attachment, or commitment

When all three of these happen with the same person, you have a very strong bond. Sometimes, however, the one we lust after isn't the one we're actually in love with.

When we're teenagers, just after youth estrogen and testosterone become active in our bodies for the first time and create the desire to experience "love." These desires or lust, play a big role both during puberty and throughout our lives. lust and romantic love are two different things caused by different underlying substrates. Lust evolved for the purpose of sexual mating  while romantic love evolved because of the need for infant or child bonding. So even though we often experience lust for our romantic partner, sometimes we don't -- and that's okay. Or, maybe we do, but we also lust after someone else. Sexologist John Money draws the line between love and lust in this way: "Love exists above the belt, lust below. Love is lyrical. Lust is lewd." Without lust, we might never find that special someone. But, while lust keeps us "looking around," it is our desire for romance that leads us to attraction.

Please accept my congratulations for sharing a wonderful sensual verse with COSMO viewers, I really appreciate your boldness in this regard, My applause, Good luck to you dear Poetess
