Click hereYou are the sigh that leaves my lips when teeth are pressed gently and tongue is sucking. The smile that graces my mouth, quirking up at innuendos and spurts of laughter after a borderline insulting joke. Fingers that trace lips and move away damp and aroused. A quick witted tongue that parts me. Interchangeably content and hyper sensitive, a thief of sanity. You are comfortable; flowing shirts for nights or a clingy negligee to impress. Stretch across and fold into me. Hot breath on sticky skin and ask to suck it up. It's too salty to be honey, not as thick as molasses, roll your head back for my pleasure. Let loose a sigh and give me what I'm asking for because you are my fulfilled wishful thinking, a mirage I'm sure to fade away. Eyes opened to an image best left untouched but surprise brings me back to my knees. You are the stretch of wall that holds me up from nightmares that plague supposed sleep. Heat creeping thickly across the skin, raising Goosebumps and a hand that clings to the back of your neck. Hold back and let go. Releasing doubt and diving headlong into Egyptian cotton sheets and the comfort of change. Edit the pages of a favorite novel while gliding over warm skin. Kiss the frowns and keep me up all night because we can't get enough of the other. You are my poet

Kobaabout 13 years agoTruly, I don't know what to say about this one. There is clearly some poetic talent here as some of the phrasing is quite good. And evidently this is an effort at prose poetry which is a genre I've always had difficulty understanding. Rimbaud was fond of the method (A Season in Hell, Illuminations) and Bob Dylan used it too on some of his album covers (John Wesley Harding, Highway 61). And frankly I find them both difficult to understand. But, I see the poetry in the works. With yours I see bits of poetry. I think prose poetry is a difficult genre which should be tackled by a more experienced poet. A sculptor starts with clay, not marble. And all I'm writing is mere opinion. But you should keep writing and that is fact.

twelveooneabout 13 years agoYou are the block of text that hits my head like a brick in a cartoon, and though I saw a few good things, I wished you discovered carriage return.

I am your editor.
Maria2394about 13 years agothat you should give your readers a break, literally, and make some paragraphs out of this. I can barely focus and this style, if it is one, certainly takes away from the message in your poem.
Yes, you have some good lines in there, but they are lost among their siblings :)
I would love to read it again if you decide to edit. I didn't vote..
