private language






it’s about sucking
the last crumb offered
from another’s fingertip

how a flick of tongue
[in a crowded room]
spells out w.a.n.t.
in a private language


all else fades
to a background hum
as they imagine
lips pressed, hips joined,
long & slow, quick & slick
in a moan-sigh grind
to final bitter-sweetness


it’s about how a smile
curves around a pulse
that says they see
eye to eye

    You are a true poetic artist

    As with most of what I have read of yours this was awesome. You have a way with words and a way of expressing your self and thoughts and perceptions that I truly envy

    Excellent, you took this prompt and broke the box! I love the depth of intimacy here, the little moments of time lovers share when the world fades and they exist only in each other. Just delightful imagery - loved it. Thanks for entering the contest and good luck!!

    I read "it's about sucking" and you 'sucked' me into this poem rightaway.
    Ooh I don't often come across something that tastefully sensual as you have here

    Soft & Juicy

    Sweet, sweet piece here LU . Not a hint of coarseness in this delicate piece of sensual writing. I love how the first verse becomes a powerful metaphor for the remaining (at least for me). It's like, I can almost remember those occasional parties/places when this type of connection happened. Somehow, mostly it was all between my ears, playing out what I wanted from that 'someone' across the room
    Best wishes in the contest

    I really like the second to last stanza! Excellent work!

    I mean the whole piece comes together really well.
