Question: Does the word 'virility' suggest a sexual connotation here!?
A heaven, you had built me long ago-
of walls painted in colours melt from
your own dreams, gardens which carried
the scent of permanent springs- warmed
by the energy drawn from your virility;
you watered the red flowers on my tresses
with the blood streams of your veins
yet numbed the pain you bear with
smiles of joy, as I gleefully walked past
the airy curtains of my now alive dreamsWww@QuestionHome@Com


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
When you put it right next to "watered the red flowers", flowers usually being used as a symbol for vagina, then yeah, it could be seen that way!. It's subtle enough to completely avoid laughter, though!.

But at first read, before you asked about that specifically, but having read the first version without "virility" I thought of it as you talking about his youth or charisma, manliness that kind of thing!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

It is used correctly!. Nice writing!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
