Reading you
I read you.
I tread where you tread,
gaze where you gaze.
I trail along
each idea,
breathe in your air.
I crave
the penetration of
your thoughts into mine.
Your hand traces lines,
deft and sure. Words
whisper, I shiver.
I slip in your skin, and out
again, tensed for the next slide
in.
I read you,
breathlessly
sated, unsated.

What a wonderfully hypnotic, mystical & eerily beautiful poem Atakti!... A very cool write, that I felt compelled to read over & over again, to let it roll around in my mouth, my head & higher senses, so I could more deeply savor it's intriguingly transcendent tongue!... A uniquely original & masterful piece, that any truly gifted poet would have been thrilled & proud to have penned! There seems to be a lucid element of almost shamanic perception in the vision of your words!...

This is a very good metaphor of the sensuous side of love, well written, Ataki!

I'm about to praise you again... damn you for deserving it ;)
Every time I read your work I'm just a little more enamored. You rarely misstep, and when you do, most readers don't even notice because it is such a slight miscalculation and your natural propensity for imagery and flow moves them along past it.
This piece has no such moments. It is pure double entendred delight. I almost swooned.

I saw your comment on the guy who thought he wrote a masterpiece and you wrote" Incoming Take cover" you were reading him too. You scared the shit out of me you psychic poet. Don't try to get into my head . All you will find is me lighting my farts on fire dressed like SpongeBob Square pants and eating ham.I will follow you but, I don't think it is of my own free will

Awesome! Great flow, reads very easily and has a great, intimate but still sexy mysterious feel about it. Your words and poems are very powerful.

So true Atakti! Nice write sweetheart. Its funny how fast we can become unsated with ourselves, relationships, hell even the world around us. Thanks for sharing.

I like this piece Atakti, mysterious yet sensual write. You left the reader with 2 choices of interpretations, and that was skillful.
