Bounce me honey, shake me well
sell me darkly all your ways,
sway me. be my black-hole sun,
stun me slowly, tickle-touch me, spin
sins of me with silk; then let’s tiptoe,
know our scents in flesh; let’s swim
brim-filled with your nightshade trance.
The Siren by John William Waterhouse

Björn Rudbergs writings 
Great poem! Sounds like a “little death!”
Dwight
Good one, B. I liked it.
Very nightshade dark and sinister
Well read 🙂
Such amazing phrasings here, B. “sell me darkly” and
“brim-filled with your nightshade trance,” especially. Such an enticing invitation.
Echoes of AC/DC and Soundgarden in your chain poem, Bjorn!
The lines that really grabbed me are:
‘stun me slowly, tickle-touch me spin,
sins of me with silk; then let’s tiptoe’.
Very clever structure – though it took Kim to point it out for me. Sometimes your poems are just too steamy!
What a ride! Loved it from the opening:
“Bounce me honey, shake me well
sell me darkly all your ways,
sway me. be my black-hole sun”
Lovely quadrille, Bjorn! Really trips along 🙂
A melodic write Björn and I can imagine it as part of a song too ;o)
wow Bjorn, this is a hot write. Love it!
Spin sins with me!!! Amazing line.
So much action in so little words.
Ah, the tiny death…
A sexy tryst!
Ah, temptation, temptation – a much darker love poem than what I thought of…
I love imagining that the speaker is a hot cup of tea talking to real honey that’s about to drizzle itself in. Then the silk would be milk.
Gorgeous title.
You really know how to go places! Quite a mind’s picture!
A blend of sensuality, darkness–very moody kind of poem. Enjoyed.
My goodness this is deliciously dark and enticing 😊
Yep! It’s a steamy one! Well done!
I liked the “nightshade trance”.
Wow – This is dark and delicious – reminds me of the song of the siren luring her lover into her melody. Finding sinful bliss…
I enjoyed the reading as well.
I love this! this is spectacular “be my black-hole sun,
stun me slowly”
no one thinks of black hole and sun and so perfect for the love for someone one ought not to love, for someone dangerous and you know it, drawn to a femme fatale — very film noirish and very cool
‘sell me darkly all your ways’ …. brilliant in a very evocative piece. Nice work!
Love the sensual chained rhyme. Your word choice is masterful.
I love the way you read this:
“stun me slowly, tickle-touch me, spin
sins of me with silk; then let’s tiptoe”
I first misread “stun” as “stain,” which I also like … “stain me slowly.”
That’s a great song … “Black Hole Sun (Won’t You Come).”
Loved the sensuality exuding from this poem.
Ah! ‘Be my black-hole sun’.. swooning over those words
