There have been a number of guitarists over the years who have had names for their guitars. I believe Lucille was the name of B.B. Kings guitar.

Thanks so much Tom, Branwell and Jon for your liking the poem.
I'm glad you like the idea of the forest meet. Much more earthy probably! He will wait as long as are looking - we can dream.

Love the whole thing but the last bit about power stopped me short. Yes, poetry is vulnerability. We use it as healing but it also leaves us at the mercy of others. May all you meet be merciful. Your work is wonderful.

As we have come to expect from you Alexandra, a fascinating idea!
Most people would say words spin around in their heads, so bringing them down to one's throat and stomach is an interesting departure. Language can of course be both nourishing and indigestible. We should all choose our words carefully.
Thought provoking as always.

Mouth corners lifting
Teeth white and bright
Eyes start to sparkle
Gosh! What a sight
While you are in daylight
I am in night
The planet rotates
That's why you're in light
Well I'll be.....

That's what I was thinking Don, a mighty oak. We already have some planted in Sherwood forest Land of Robin Hood!

Ruth I have a tree picked out
A mighty oak one day
At present it's a little twig
A little twig so gay
When I choof off my mortal coil
(An hour before I do)
I'll whack this oak a'top me
Say toodleoodleoo
My fans for all eternity
(Cos oaks they grow that long)
Will bow to poet Silly One
Who always got things wrong
boing...boing....

A moment of truth from me would be that i've never experienced this feeling of melding together during the act - which is sad I know. A cross to bear and who knows the reason. You have however a fine piece of poetry to illustrate a wonderful state of being. The idea of submissiveness or domination has never quite suited me, nor any partner. Ah well there you go.

Martin, the French have an expression which translates as - I feel ok in my skin.

My mind is humming these days, Thank God!
I can't imagine anyone considering this piece as salacious, or whatever. If there should be any 'backlash', just say so and I will remove it.
For the really sharp of mind, I so wanted to end it with 'From the First Big Bang', but then I considered some of my valued supporters and decided not! I could just HEAR the shrieks of mirth in my head.

A truly beautiful poem made all the better by Mae's reading. You have brought this poem to life. Although it was great to begin with, you have taken it to a new level Mae. It reminds me that all poems should be heard outside the mind at some point in their delivery
A very well done both
