Frigidity Faltered To Affection

Her heart swam in ecstatic desires;
anchored on a fruition beyond measure,
as my caress set it on pleasant fires;
her frigid mind on a flame of rapture.

Her mind once as a flickering moonlight;
made fickle, frigid and shrouded in pains
by memories of her acrid love plight,
yielded to affection without restrains.

She laid motionless like a mannequin,
her eyes draped in fruitive emotion,
bliss; once smoldered by her heart's ruin;
ebbing now like the tide of an ocean.

Her face beamed with warm smiles like sunshine
as the lush air made her mellow like wine.

Comments

Frigid is frequently used as a derogatory term by sexist men for women who refuse to have sex with them. Until the 1960's it was a clinical psychology term for women with a low sex drive, now debunked.

I can see why no-one else has commented. Apart from that word the poem is very conflicted, with no inner motivations, explanations or reason.

What were you aiming for?

cheers,

The poem speaks of a woman who has become frigid and mind fickle as a result of memories of her past ugly love escapades.But on this day ,she gave in to caress and affections. There after laid motionless like a manequin with her eyes and face filled with fruitive emotions once smoldered by her past ugly memories which began to ebb away to a new positive emotions.
