I want your body.
            That should not be surprise.
Have I not said so?
            I thought my speech was plain.
I know you know it.
            I see it in your eyes.
I want your body.
            That should not be surprise.
For I have told you,
            with fingertips and sighs
and with my breathing.
            That's all I need explain.
I want your body.
            It should not be surprise.
My love, my lady,
            as speech is very plain.

lovely

The lines are the most perfect example I know of ~ learning - relearning. In repetition is understanding.

A tribute to form

I tried reading the columns separately as Le Broz Suggested but did not find additional layer(s) of meaning, which I have not grasped at the first reading. I would love to see an example though.

Overall it’s a nice tribute to form. I am looking forward to the second wave of poems, when the content would be on par with the technique.

simple

but well constructed. The repetition works well and is pleasing to the ear. Sweet and sensual. Great reading, as usual.

Plain's song

I enjoyed this for its feeling of antiquity, like an updated version of Lord Byron's best. Some of the best poems look simple and elegant, and that's hard to do.

Good job, my friend.

~~

Nicely put together and, while not difficult to comprehend, reading first one column than the next than again the piece in its entirety lends new meaning in a third straight reading.
