Scorpio By Moonlight

Blue is for boys, so they say--
wrong to the core, for they never saw your bed with its
invitation to deep indigo.

Van Gogh, smitten mad for you, 
sublimated in paints what he felt and could not bear.
(So I like to imagine, my body stretched out among the stars.)

So clever you are, or careless--
half covered like a moon in transit across a narrow window.
You know I'll go to the breezy sill,

lupine and soft-coated, leaning for silvered water and finding
delicious madness in the warm curve of the offered half
of your celestially gifted ass.

  2. Ha--invitation to deep indigo is a highly memorable phrase as is the whole poem, one imagines quite a great window here, with the moon peering in (or out). Take care, and thanks much for participating in the prompt! k.

  10. I was breezing along enjoying the lines - "lupine and soft-coated" - wow! - then got such a kick out of the closing line.

  11. Tales half-told, and half a moon, half a Van Gogh masterpiece...yes I think you cut to the heart of the concept of halves here--two do make a whole, don't they? I have never been able to find out.

  12. LMFAO! LOVE the ending Miss FB! too cool for mere mortals!

    enjoyed listening to Janice too.
