Words Seldom Used...............N

and this the letter N:


Natant:  swimming or floating. 
Nepenthe:  a drink having the power to bring forgetfulness of sorrow or trouble.  Anything inducing a pleasurable sensation of forgetfulness. 
Nival:  of, belonging to snow. 
Novia:  fiancé or bride. 
Nuque:  the back of the neck. 
Nyx:  an ancient Greek goddess personifying night.

N
Lips drag slowly
tracing along the nuque
the taste of her
a nepenthe elixir.

Swallowing in deep breaths
inhaling her into me 
my mind reels
as a simple peace takes hold.

In natant wonder drifting 
mind in soft release
her power leaving
the rest of the world at bay.

She is mystery, my novia
nothing else compares
as original as a snowflake
in a nival breeze.

Upon me she falls
as night surrounds us both
the goddess Nyx
powerless next to her.

Elegant and wondrous
this creature, this woman, my dream
nyctalgia even fades
at the sound of her name.
