Forbidden Magic
There came to me a Man one summer night,
When all the world lay silent in the stars,
And moonlight crossed my room with ghostly bars.
He whispered hints of weird, unhallowed sight;
I followed – then in waves of spectral light
Mounted the shimmery ladders of my soul
Where moon-pale spiders, huge as dragons, stole –
Great forms like moths, with wings of wispy white.
Around the world the sighing of the loon
Shook misty lakes beneath the false-dawn’s gleams;
Rose tinted shone the sky-line’s minaret;
I rose in fear, and then with blood and sweat
Beat out the iron fabrics of my dreams,
And shaped of them a web to snare the moon.
Robert E. Howard

A very intriguing word “forbidden”....it really peeks my interest every time it’s mentioned. (I’m a good boy that occasionally likes to be bad)
Speaking of bad this new work is bad to the bone Tracey!
Tracey Mac replied
Mmmm….....you should show a bit more of your forbidden side Vonne….......Want one of my chocolate T-Shirts? ;)
Bad to the bone sounds great…....sweet can be so tiresome sigh

Druidstorm
Forbidden is Pandora’s box, yet its scent orgasmic to the mind. Is this spell truly divine? Tracey your craft is always the sight of joy! BRAVO!!!...)o(
Tracey Mac replied
Mally, it’s the web that snares the moon which is so potent, (although orgasmic is sounding pretty good!)
Thank you as always my friend!! xx
Ted Byrne
Two things going on here – first the image itself… Whoa… lots happening and all of it, um, twitchy. That glowing gluteus wants to be noticed… so okay… I be noticing (pause here for extended noticing…. ).
K, now for the second thing going in… the title. I cannot imagine any part of a hottie’s body that would not glow… brighter under that title. You could have shown your curled fingers, extending toes, cascading hair… shadowy underarms… er, well okay.. maybe that’s a tad carried away… Dunno though… I saw an ad yesterday for a prescription drug which is intended to give women more luxurious eyelashes!! Holy Moley…. Imagine eyelashes blown up to the size of a bus with that title up there.
But… but… float the tag over a set of bare-naked glowing glutes and… Wuffff!
Yeah… Magic…It reaches on down to the primal brain stem and gives it a caress… Searing work… Would share more but have to get back to my interrupted noticing…
Tracey Mac replied
Excuse me Ted if I could just interupt and drag you away from noticing for a few seconds?
So glad to be of assistance to your primal brain stem, and thank you for such an indepth comment, love reading your thoughts on my work…..next time I’ll try to include the curled fingers and extended toes, although, I might leave out the shadowy underarms!! LOL
Thanks from my heart Ted!! xxx
navybrat
smooth as silk!! wow…love the cobwebs too!
Tracey Mac replied
Thanks so much Jotham, and glad you noticed the web…...I kinda like that bit too!
navybrat
lol at Ted!
Tracey Mac replied
Isn’t Ted a classic? LOL ;D
Anne McGinn

Sorry Tracey, did I say “best work ever”?... I´m sorry, my English is not good, I´m from Germany, I wanted to say, “One of your best pieces of art I´ve seen so far ”..;-)
