Poetry Is Like Sex

 

Erotica, R-18+

Poetry is like sex,
just like you shouldn’t always write between the lines,
you shouldn’t always stay between the sheets.

Be bold.

Expose yourself fully and embrace the vulnerability that comes with total surrender to the moment,
with total expression of the soul.

Drink in their body with your gaze.

Running your eyes over every inch,
reading every word
and savoring every syllable.

Then read it all again,
looking for meaning between the lines,
finding joy inside the words.

Write with your tongue;
treating their body as your page.

Don’t stop writing until the page makes you to turn it over,
and begs for you to write some more.

Oblige it.
Fill it completely.

Write until your hand is cramping.
Write until the page is shaking.
Write until you are sweating from the exertion of pure artistic expression.

As I

 

Erotica, R-18+

I want to be under your skin
As I look upon it

I want to know you
As I move inside you

I want to understand your mind
As I taste your flesh

I want to hear your words
As I moan your name

I want to connect with your soul
As I take your body


This poem is from the book, ‘Kink, Volume 2’
