Here

It sounds as if from a Shakespeare play the turns of phrase. I find it difficult single out a 'favourite line' but these all together appeal and integrate well@

how shall I find release?
Give me
here,
along my weighted limbs,
the molding pressure of your hands;
here,
upon my eyes,
the soft releasings of your mouth;
here, below,
the shaping upwards of your touch.
Make me forget today
that I am clay, and dull,
and only of the earth.

It is a prayer, said to a Father, who can do everything to his child. The child is rightly complaining about his hopeless situation and asking his Father to grant him what can regain his hope. It is said with faith in this strong Father, who can do the impossible. You could express your ideas very well, but you seem hopeless in this poem. I love it. It talks about a very serious subject which every person feels. It's a great poem.

Who are you and what have you done with the real J-Z who has constantly told me that I know nothing about verse and do not know how to write well?

BTW,  you have wholly (but not atypically) misread my submission if you think it is something addressed to a father.

1-Who will, "give you here..."? And who will, "make you forget..."?
2-l've praised the poem, not you. You are still who you are in my eyes, but this poem is good not you as l've mentioned before.

"1-Who will, "give you here..."? And who will, "make you forget..."?"  
 
A lover.  Did you not understand what was being asked for in these lines?  
 
the soft releasings of your mouth;  
here, below,  
the shaping upwards of your touch.  
 
"2-l've praised the poem, not you. "  
 
Did I say that you were praising me in my  response above to your comment on my submission.  You have (once again) misread what I wrote if you think so.  
 
"You are still who you are in my eyes, but this poem is good not you as l've mentioned before."  
 
Yes, you have said that I am not good  in what amounts to a series of  irrelevant ad hominem attacks.  
 
But you have said that I cannot write and that I know noting about poetry -- which is a curious statement if, as you say above,  that my submission above is a beautiful poem.  
 
TOO LATE

Dear EW,  
When you read Baldwin's poems which he sent as answers to my poems, you can see the big difference between my good poems and his very poor ones. ***He doesn't know how to write, and he is trying to pretend that he knows something about poetry.*** In fact, he doesn't know anything ... .

Who is EW, and what do you mean by your last paragraph?

EW is someone YOU addressed and the last paragraph is a quotation of something YOU wrote to EW on Dec. 30th, 2019 at 4:49pm (as is noted).  So here's more evidence that you are not capable of -- or have great difficulty in -- understanding what you read, not to mention remembering what you have written.

And here is more evidence that you bear the grudges. What a heart you have!!!!!!!! Now l know a bit more about you. You are still bearing it from 2019. What a heart you have, Baldwin!

Please state specifically not only what grudge possesses me but how, even if there is one, having a grudge has anything to do with the truth of the things I say about your submissions and your evident inability to understand the things I write?  Please note, too, that your claim that I cannot and do not write well is not a thing of the past.  You've been making it ever since 2019.  Indeed, you made it again today in the thread on your  "We have one heart".

Your poem"Here"is not clear at all. One can explain it in a different way, which is you are asking the Lord for help. This is weakness in your writing. You don't have clarity. Sorry for giving you LIKE.

Sure, One can "**interpret** it as a  prayer to God in which I am asking for his help.  But to do so one must ignore its references to acts of physical sensuality and sex.

But I suppose they would be lost on someone  who has never been treated sexually by a woman or has allowed himself to explore god's gift of sensuality.

And oh the irony in claiming that I don't write clearly!!!  Besides that, isn't the fact that a writing can be interpreted in more than one way a sign of its being well written?

When the writing can be interpreted in more than one way and ambiguous is a merit, Baldwin! I don't know about that especially in poetry!

IWhen the writing can be interpreted in more than one way and ambiguous is a merit, Ba;ldwin!"

Did you mean to say  "WHETHER the writing can be interpreted in more than one way and IS ambiguous is a merit..."?

in any case,  the only way that anyone can interpret  what I wrote  as a prayer to God is by ignoring and misreading what is being asked for there,  namely, sexual healing.

No, l mean what l wrote, Baldwin, and not your interpretation.

But it can have the other meaning which l mentioned. Look at it again if you don't mind to correct to clarify.

"But it can have the other meaning which l mentioned."

What's the referent of "it"?

The referent is all the poem. If you can't find it, l will mention some lines.

"The referent is all the poem. If you can't find it ... "

If I can't find all the poem?

Then l mention them to you.
