Hungry eyes scan your body's curves

cloaked in daytime's subtle reds, rusts

and browns. They wonder at your change

to evening’s blues, purples and greens.

 

The heat you possess hides below

dark beauty. An all-consuming rage

raising fantastic erections that mark

the passing of your red hot passion.

 

Below, on cooling under-parts, black

softness points to your fertility. Readily

feeding the desires of your admirers

with intoxicating fruits of Bacchus.

 

No man that gazes upon you can live

the remainder of his life unchanged

by the rhythms of your sleeping secret

and not fear the day you awake again.

This is brilliant. I read it through a couple of times to absorb it fully.

The beat of your heart is the mellifluent rhythm to my soul.

I spent a lot of time living there. Not to everybody's taste but I loved the Volcanos and the scenary they dominate. I still miss them, especially in spring when they turn green and get covered in yellow and white flowers. 

I guess the island kind of haunts me.

I think you lay a false trail. I thought it was a woman and I couldn't work out who, in general. But it wasn't a general. A landscape of feelings.

To my mind Lanzarote and it's sultry Volcanos is like a woman in some ways.

Beautiful; Mysterious; Fertile; Intoxicating; Destructive; Belittling and of course Hot.

Forget the tourist traps they are ephemeral.

Spent many a great holiday in Lanzarote during the 1980s. You bought back memories of Camel rides up to the volcano and eating barbecued food. The wonderful beaches and great people. Often wonder if it's still the same.

Thank you for sharing.

Jenny.

I have no doubt there are a lot of new hotels and holiday homes. 

Thanks for reading
