I’ll Be The Sin

 

Erotica, R-18+

You be the sinner
and I’ll be the sin,
your shadow will reveal
the darkness hiding within.

Together we’ll explore
every inch of your skin,
just say the word
and let us begin.

embrace

 

Erotica, R-18+

i crave 
the oblivion
of the ecstasy
of our embrace

this night
i invite you
to lose yourself
in me

inside my mind

 

Erotica, R-18+

alone she sat
inside my mind
her essence
enough
to clear
all
the hang ups
the ex’s
the unfulfilled desires

where she went
nothing remained
other than
a lingering desire
for more
of her
of her essence
of the memory
of the night
we went wild
together

Please Confide

 

Erotica, R-18+

Show me
inside,
in me
please confide.

Let down
your wall,
and I’ll give you
my all.

I wish
to witness your soul,
your body
is not my goal.

Just an intimate
embrace,
our love
let’s retrace.

soul food

 

Erotica, R-18+

penetrate me
with your pastry
watch my pleasure
as i swallow
your soul food
dominate me
with a demand
to take my fill
and more
of your dessert

you know i’m hungry
you know i can take it
you know if you serve me
i cannot resist

Effective Bratting

 

Erotica, R-18+

Effective bratting
is an artform.

Knowing
how far to push
in order
to be pleasured
with pain.

Knowing
where the line is
between the attainment
of funishment
and true punishment.

Knowing
what rules are meant to be broken
and what rules must be obeyed
then
breaking them anyway.

For the look
for the connection
for the control
for the choice
for the domination
for the submission
for the taming of the will
and proving the inability to do so.

Effective bratting
is the embodiment
of the inherent contradiction
between submission
and freedom.

It is the playing of the game
against oneself.

It is a coy smile,
it is the knowing look.
It is words spoken through gritted teeth,
timed to the beat of a hand on flesh;

‘You may set the rules
but I get to choose
obedience
or fun

Consequences be damned.

Go ahead
punish me.

You know I’ll enjoy it.’

Effective bratting
is a challenge
to another
to somehow
control your chaos
long enough
to make you
choose
submission

Fill Me Up

 

Erotica, R-18+

I want you
to take me.

Slowly.
Gently.

First one hole,
then another,
then the third.

I invite you into me.
I invite you to fill me up

Completely.
Thoroughly.
Fully.

Satisfy me,
by satisfying yourself.

use my body

 

Erotica, R-18+

use my body
as a canvas
for your art
write upon my flesh
with your tongue
and drink
the nectar
that flows
from my muse
into yours
express yourself
fully
through me

Master Seductress

 

Erotica, R-18+

There’s a folder in my phone
that’s exclusively filled with you,
a collection of fun
a promise of what we will do.

Each one given
without expecting a return,
just some degrading praise
just an opportunity to learn.

You’re a master seductress
posing just so,
playing with a mirror
bending way down low.

Bantering back and forth
waking me with a surprise,
doing everything you can
to focus my eyes.

On you
on your body,
on your mind
on you totally.

For we both know
that these poses are just a game,
a way to play
a way to stay sane.

The real beauty
lies far beyond the screen,
it’s in everything about you
all the parts that remain unseen.

Still
I love it when you send
I crave being teased,
I crave seeing you bend.

I may act calm
but inside I’m on fire,
lusting for you
every part I desire.

tempt me

 

Erotica, R-18+

i want you
to so utterly
tempt me
that i stop
caring
about everything
other than
obtaining you
in this
and every
moment

union

 

Erotica, R-18+

exploring
the depths
of the flesh
by connecting
to the divine

a prayer
of pleasure
a wave
of metaphysical ecstasy
hinting at heaven
hinting at eternity
found through union
with one another
with oneness itself

The Love I Feel

 

Erotica, R-18+

The love I feel
So impossibly real

A point of reality
Against a bleak totality

A pin prick of light
That illuminates the night

A whispered prayer
Promising a truth and a dare

A look and a touch
That’s never too much

A lifetime together
Souls entwined forever

Salvation

 

Erotica, R-18+

She wanted for salvation
But summoned me instead
Still I had her screaming
A prayer from her bed

Your Actions Are A Prayer

 

Your actions are a prayer,
To the Gods of functionality.
Your mind, your body, your spirit.
Honour them.
Wake early.
Sit in silence.
Then move,
Attend the iron church, or run, or dance.
The Gods smile upon those who act.

You are what you do.
So study your craft.
Work on your craft.
Share your craft.
Take criticism and praise in the same breath,
You are neither as good or as bad as they say.
Embrace the daily grind.
Work when nobody’s looking.
Work when nobody cares.
Work when you are doubting yourself.
Work, because to you, work is play.
Push through all resistance.
The lights are never all green.
There is always a reason to stop.
Don’t.

Your actions are a prayer.
You are what you do.
So act like the best version of you.
This is the true power of
Faking it until you make it.
Of embodying your true calling,
Of greatness.

This change will take time.
There is a lag between action and reward.
And when it does come,
It won’t be announced with fanfare.
Growth will be incremental.
Small gains,
Tiny improvements,
Minute advancements.
This is as it should be.

So act.
Act as a prayer to the Gods of functionality.
And have faith.
Faith in the process,
Faith in the future,
Faith in yourself.
And remember,
You are what you do.


Choose Wisely

 

Why do you think
It will be ok?
Because thinking so
Takes your anxiety away.

How do you know
It won’t happen to you?
Because knowing so
Is all you can do.

What makes you certain
It won’t be a bad day?
Because you get down
On your knees and pray.

You don’t even believe
In the power of positive thought,
If it were someone else,
You’d say their methods wrought.

That they are just
As likely as another,
To undergo pain, loss,
And oh yes, to suffer.

Yet for you, you permit yourself
This one kind of fiction,
Because it allows you to function
With renewed conviction.

But what happens when
The charms and mind games fail?
What will happen when
Life causes you to wail?

Don’t you go thinking
That these words are lies,
That the message here
Is something to despise.

It is merely a warning
To get your house in order,
Because eventually life
Will throw it into disorder.

Look up the numbers
Apply them to your life,
Statically speaking,
You will go through similar strife.

But it doesn’t feel this way,
You are somehow special,
That’s just your ego talking,
With the words of the devil.

You will reap what you sow,
Getting what you deserve,
The actions you take now,
Dictate what life will serve.

Look at your past and trace life back,
What you did then put you on this track.

So choose wisely.

The Writer's Prayer

 

I am a writer.
I have given myself this time to write.
This time is sacred.
I will not waste it.
I will not worry about the quality, worth, or potential audience.
I will just write.
I will get the words on the page, as they come, without judgement, without filter.
I will write because I love it, because I have something to say, and because writing heals me.

And when the time is up, I will let it go, until I sit down to write again.


This poem is inspired by the book, ‘How To Write Evocative Poetry’.
