blind reading upon skin









gently, his eyes
undress my thoughts
and read my words
before they sink in the black ink

he tastes the vowels
on the tip of my tongue
breathes each syllable
when inhaling my scent

  and weaves verses
  on my bare skin

    Hi MariGoes,

    Thank you for reading my silly haiku attempts. They were done in jest..I have some better ones ...you were highly recommended to me so I have read almost all of your haiku I could find. It is all wonderful and I have so much more to learn.

    This is a wonderful sensual poem you have written here. You are as good as I have been told...I am looking forward to reading more...Darlene

    wow, that's some steamy wordsmanship!
    as always i love poems that say a lot with a few words and this poem feels like it is so much bigger than it is on the page. Thanks for the read as always mari.

    One needs not outer sight if they can read...braille...


    living breaths
    string together with "pants"
    dressed, with love

    thats really beautiful
    fabric of love
    woven on skin
    while warp and weft
    are excluded for verses
    beautiful

    Oh wow. this poem flows silky smoothe just like the background it lays on. I liked it. Short, smoothe, and well written.

    It's as if things have come full circle.

    There is nothing else I really choose to say right now. You know I admire you and your poetry, anything else I'd type would feel cheap and pathetic right now and I'd like to avoid that at all cost.

    fingerpaint and silk! Ohhh!

    ...when love speaks
    comes waves upon the moments
    of magenta heartbeats


    Mari, you verses are magical!

    Applauding!!

    I'm having one of my "Latina" moments! So much intelligence, and passion displayed here. You should see the look in my eyes. Love this background too... my favorite color(one of them, anyway). Think I'll keep this one... if it's alright with you, of course.

    Oh i love this, especially those last two lines.... I could feel the gentle, loving words his breath wrote upon your skin. I have written a very similar poem like this one - "a wish, literally spoken" - so we are in sync, Mari !! We have a saying in Afrikaans about tasting, called the "tongtippietoets" - the tongue-tip test"... see, where you took my mind. This is lovely, so soft the calligraphy of touch here.
