The poem below Finding the Strength is a prequel to two other poems I have written for my blogger and writer friend S.J Warner and her Lace Challenge event. Those poems are written as his (A Tear Drop) and her (The Ways of Desire) – each poem telling there later story. Finding the Strength is the story of their beginning.
Click on the banner below to get more information about Lace Challenge. Also, I would love to hear what you think the stories of these two characters end up being (use comment box below).
Finding the Strength
Morning sun appears low in the sky
A gentle breeze disturbs the binds
Lace patterns dance upon the walls
Muffled sounds echo through humid air
Running water and humming are heard
The pitter patter of wet feet on the floor
Her soft lips linger, rousing him with a kiss
The sweet scent of her freshly washed hair
Smell of fresh coffee greet his foggy mind
The voyeuristic joy of watching her dress
Stockings slide over smooth lotioned legs
Lace tops surrounding soft tender thighs
She seductively straightens her suspenders
Her moist tender skin await gentle kisses
Where silky lace meets her trembling flesh
The scent of her excitement fills the air
He inhales, savoring her musky perfume
She teases with every look and gesture
He moves forward, hands roam and caress
Teeth bite her quivering lip, stifling a moan
Her breasts heave and ache for strong hands
Beads of sweat drip from sensitive nipples
His tongue lashes out capturing a salty drop
A released bite burns with hidden desires
Her dark thoughts surface and greet the light
Her visions and dreams long held in check
Burst forth, guided by a firm hand and mind
Finding within her the strength to surrender
Conventions and reservations striped aside
Together they’ll explore the hidden corners
In the dark places they’ll mingle and grow
Shedding their shame and hatred of self
Finding release and contentment as one
