I Did Try
You don't inspire me with words today.
Your smile takes me back through the joy of all our good days
and your laugh is one thing I can get a mini-high from inducing,
you consistently surprise,
give me more than I deserve [in endless ways],
play my games and still hold me in the morning.
And though I want to give you everything
I find that I can't choose
the right sentences,
the precise phrases
to begin to express
what I want to tell you today.
Your amore is beyond me
and it's run off with my linguistics.
So I'll see you tonight
to confess what I can't seem to put into verse
in your worn white dress shirt
with stripped,
wet-hot,
throbbing slot.
I hope you'll understand if I say
with sharp gasping,
nails grasping back, thighs, releasing sighs
that I adore you
in a pleasure burst scream on my thirsty, traveling lips
or in an upward glance
coaxing your lick-slicked cock to dance light
on my tongue.
I give you the freedom of choice
and the whole of my being
[my love].
Just let me play to your any desire
the language of sensation
to tell you
what I've been trying to write
all day.

A tyrant of verse!
Wonderful. The imagery, the internal rhyme, the dirty ditties, the honesty and machinery of love and lust...solid solid piece, with a shit-I-wish-I'd-written-that chaser...and a couple of lines that would bring a blush to a Soho hooker...
The first, but not the last, comment methinks :-)
(a minor gripe...can you take a look at the first verse and maybe reduce the 'though' count? Nothing is lost by their presence, so ignore such trivialities as you may)

re: A tyrant of verse!
woo! this is my first real go at erotica, so that's a hell-of-a-lot better of a comment than i expected! haha, thank you very much. i could reduce the "though"s, i thought i needed them to continue the sentence instead of pauses... but if you don't think they're necessary, then they're likely taking up unnecessary space.

Lovely erotic feel. Gently sets the mood. But why do you classify it as extreme content? This is almost tame by DU erotica standards !!

i know, it's sooo tame compared to most in this section!! it's just a new thing for me so i, um...haha! i was feeling extreme posting it! you've brought to my attention that it's my own emotional reaction to the write--innnnteresting. thanks for reading and commenting! [:

hi doll, i know it took me foreverr to comment on this poem because its too positive and so full of love(something i'm not really use of, in fact it made me kind of wince a bit.. :P ) but i have to admit that i really, really like it! Respect :)

re: *jealous---
haha! oh noooo! it's too soppy!? *huff* well, a criticism i can take as it's true. i moved it to "love poems". it might work better as an 'extreme' love poem instead of a sickeningly sweet erotica poem. [: thanks for the read and for your honesty. i expect that on a regular basis. ;]

really? it's up to you, but i think this piece of yours it's too sexy to be classified as a plain love poem... and it has its purpose there in erotic section-- to school us pervs, i mean, *ahem* those pervs how to put a bit of amore to it...but it's always up to you :)

This piece has some great moments, though the story is very cliche. My favourite lines:
1. "Your amore is beyond me/and it's run off with my linguistics."
2. "coaxing your lick-slicked cock to dance light/on my tongue."
3. "Just let me play to your any desire/the language of sensation."
These are all original, tinged with beauty and finesse, but they serve a contrived narrative. This is just my opinion, of course, and you can tell me to fuck off if you wish, but the lines I mentoned are so brilliant that I think they deserve to be embroidered into a slightly better plot.
I recommend making the poem more specific; write in the present tense and focus on a single event; describe the gentleman's body, his clothes, the experience of love making etc.

re: Comment
Okay, now you've got me on project mode. The plot is actually all true so I wish it wasn't so cliche, but I didn't even think of that, of course it's overdone! It would be fine for a "see you later on" note (which it was originally) but it should be something more to be worth posting as 'art'. *haha* i'm going at it now, another version to see if i can perk it up. Thank you for your honesty! much love, Jack. [:

Thank you for being so courteous. A lot of people would have told me to go suck a railroad spike. :D

This is so human...I love that, it's like an understanding that goes beyond words that always need to make sense and be logical. One action can sometimes convey more than a million words could. I love that first line.

thank you so much, that means a lot. i'm writing another version for Jack, but i think i'll keep this one for a while too. [:

Oh, Jestalessa, it's beautiful. Truly stunning. There's nothing else to say, you said exactly what none of us can say and you didn't even say it. I adore this, my favourite poem on this site without question. Sublime.

Jestalessa, without repeating what others have said, what you've done here is offer an amazing tribute to a man--you should teach an adult education course to women, not so much to help them write love poetry for their men, but to get them to purge those lovely and delectable thoughts which must be inside of every woman. I also liked what you didn't put in: sappy stuff about souls--whatever they are--soul mates or you are my destiny crap--you've express a very simple idea (and stayed with it) without adding excrescences and cliches, however tempting

re: I did try
wow, thank you so much. i am put off by cliches but have a hard time seeing them in my own stuff sometimes. thank you for your generous feedback, i'm truly flattered. [:

Not that it matters a whole lot, but i kinda liked all those though's.
The line:

hey, thank you for commenting! yeah, with the 'though's' it was a great length of a sentence, and i think it was sweet. but i'm glad it can go both ways. good line choice. [:
