Poetry Contest

Would start with no other than my favorite gal of eroticism. Anais Nin... (some say a narcissist, lol she'd dig the fuck outta this) Create a piece, new please, in tribute to, inspired by, or quote laced....
Create a new piece inspired by Anais Nin..
All words of hers MUST be in quotes and a reference bib below piece of the book, diary or essay her words come from if used....

May be pure inspiration...examples...use quotes as said...titles...theories...unleash your Nin inspired imagination...

My example piece will be up tomorrow....for now my favorite quote....

I am awaiting a lover have to be rent and pulled apart
and live according to the demons and the imagination in me. I'm restless. Things are calling me away. My hair is being pulled by the stars again.

Anaïs Nin, Fire: From A Journal of Love - The Unexpurgated Diary of Anaïs Nin (1934-1937)

Luck.

Deep Orgasm

I had a girl like Anaïs Nin
Who sought sex
With enthusiasm  

And just like Anaïs Nin
She was on a spiritual mission
To discover that ‘deeper orgasm’

Eschewing mechanistic screwing
Like Anaïs, she wanted sex
To be a spiritual awaking

But I couldn’t fulfill her
Just like Anaïs’ lover
The great Henry Miller

I couldn’t get it done
I couldn’t give her
That deeper orgasm

Express disappointment
In my love making abilities
As Anaïs complained
About poor Henry’s


Instead of lying there and bitch
Anaïs, like my old lover
Should have moved her hips

Nin writes about her search for a deeper orgasm, and her disappoint of Henry Miller as a lover, as well as her disappointment with other lovers, in her quest to find it in her journal.

Oh gawd! Love it...oh jeezus..to have a galfriend anything like Nin..no fun..
You captured her relationship with Miller..her narcissistic behavior and terminal dissatisfied complaints about men..though there were many!

I love her pen...my first exploration of erotica was through Anais.
But damn!
Was tickled to get a man's perspective, and one complaining back...well thas jes bout perfect Darlin.
The wish for her to move her hips killed me.

Thanks so much Sir Snuggle!

The journey from the mountains to the triangle of love... a symphony of kisses showered by cherry blossoms followed by an army of fingers carving those deadly curves , long way I must say , but adorned with mounds and glossy pupils. ..
Distracted by the landscapes I start drinking lust soaking my face on body nectars while I write history on these walls double written words to be specific... the ink of my tongue disappears and attractive pulses signal me that a storm is coming and that I must go in to continue this ceremony to a higher level

And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom” – Anais Nin

This is quite stunning Nomind...and I see the references...You have many woven in here brilliantly. Her life's journey from her mountain...i love your reference to the love triangle between Anais, Henry, and June...the part saliva part ink reference was very cool Darlin..cherry blossoms...the glossy headed students...the nectar she mentions throughout her works...
You have touched on many here..I see Delta of Venus, her early diaries...and you have done this in a way that even if you knew nothing of her, this would be a very sensual, enjoyable read. I want to make sure I am not missing anything, and that you have the punctuation and capital letters to your satisfaction. You don't have to change anything..I love this as is.  Could you make a bib for me? Just reference any important Anais inspiration here.
Thank you so much...This is a gorgeous entry.

to my new love...delicate whore

time has split the most mysterious feeling
the way of love , simple knot of passion my prominent woman
as I walk bare footed on the burning charcoals of your back
carving my fears on your fleshiest parts
right when the shivers settles

did I travel in time or time travel through me
who knows....all I know is that I'm here
suffocating on your breast
melting on them , mixing promises and jealousy

devadasi of my dreams
drink my tears as I see you coming
white sperm sliding down on your close chest
luring into my most private thoughts

oh you were so innocent but no Need to disguise anymore
as I walk you ... you come to me
drawing sacred rituals to this pale orgy
me , you , the future and the past

abandoned yourself and come to me...
let us merge in this uncertain river of lust
I've made my decision
and the moon is my witness

lets paint the sky with our laugh
and segregate time and realism
I will make love to you
and you will make a man of me...

"i will always be the virgin-prostitute, the
perverse angel, the two-faced sinister and saintly
woman.
~anaïs nin [henry & june]
*
said the whore to madonna ~ [ii]

revisiting
stygian mass graves
tucked between
tissue paper
& pressed flowers
[leather bound
loveless letters]
written from
the remains of
aborted commitments
i will always be
the virgin-prostitute,

birthing myself anew
on expectant sheaves ...
... crowned
in daisies & thorns
the perverse angel
reverently defiled
[still]
sowing seeds of
discontent
across the border
where narcissism
& hedonism meet
*
tawdry lolita guise
[liquor potent
lash flutter]
i could
rule the world
from my knees
with my lips
spread wide around
the pulse of mankind ...
the two-faced
sinister & saintly woman

... filled
with the sins
i dream of fire
& dna baptisms,
seeking religion
[fullfillment
forgiveness]
in my empire
of cherry coke
& cum stains

You my dearest got her down..oh i love this...and the title...i love so much of Anais...her writing..but her narcissism..lies..to sleep with 3 men in a day.. to have a lesbian afair with her "great loves" wife..just wicked...hedonism unmatched. then she has quotes and essays that move me to want to do......things. Great things, filthy things. And she was doing this when women did not openly write like this. So many of her stories were done for Henry for a buck because he was too good to do it himself....and taboooo subject matter.
Thank you so much for doing this Kat..your mind amazes me.
Adore you.
Love
Jennifer

Congrats! katja ... Beautiful write.  As fate would have it I was out on my motorbike today and found "DELTA of VENUS" on a table being sold by a street vendor.  I was intrigued by some quotes of hers and hope the book furthers my education ... Thanks calamityjen for helping me find this artist.

Ah! Delta of Venus was my first trip.into erotica..im very exited for you Lobo..
At much to young an age probobly, i found that book. The cover alone..the woman in thick stockings and hat..tepmpted me..
Anais has many moods. Read some history of where the stories in Delta come from..her background with Henry Miller..and i think it will make it even richer.
She kept diaries that are published from the age of, i want to say 9 for some reason...
Delta of Venus is a treasured Memory, have had the same copy since 13..
Other than to Kill a Mockingbird..cant think of a book that has opened me more.

Her essays are wonderful. Enjoy!

Kat..thank you..
This was prefect.
You honored this comp with this piece.

Snugglebuck...this was an awesome piece..not second best at all..made me laugh..thoroughly enjoyed.
