the shortest distance

mysterious mounds tingle to
an affectionate touch
(extra long fingers)

dead-end double d expressway
to my devotional moat
(lemon flavored lube)

hesitant sentences
best said with scent
(incense cult)

the fluid spirit rushes to
the stickiest end
(pinecone love)

i tend to interpret the nuances
of others without words
(just give up)

is it a mirage?
a leisurely anarchy?
                                         (run)

Now that's what I'd call a sensual poem.

"dead-end double d expressway
to my devotional moat"

Superb.

Anders said...

This one has so much attitude, altitude, arrangement; essentially: raw force.

what you have done with the visual form... different sizes of font and parentheses... is fabulous!


perhpas it's what is called art!

Whoof! I all red in the ears. This poem is gorgeous. I really like it. I also really, really like 'hesitant sentences/best said with scent', a lot. I drop a link to one of my own which relates (but is not nearly so daring or sense-intensive at all, i intellectualize sex in a ridiculous manner in fact): here is other poem with pinecones and sex

Thank you for this stunning read. It rules. You should get paid for this by a fancy publication.

ande ~ thank-you for "raw force" that makes it sound even better

human being ~ i love to mix up the type font and size...perhaps it is art...

hey NIKKI... that last sentence i wrote was an answer to the question asked in the poem... always think love is an art:

and found your attitude here so artistic...

sorry if there was some ambiguity...


best

So much elemental energy to this one. Excellent.

Great words and images Nikki, I love your multitalented world of art and writing!

human being ~ i just arrange words like i compose a piece of artwork, i usually just piece together what sounds/looks good, there is hardly ever any point or meaning to my stuff because i want the reader/viewer to make it their own, have their own thoughts and feelings...
~ i like how you respond to art!

thomas ~ thanks!

charles ~ as always...thanks for the words of encouragement:)

"they say love is not a matter of head it's a matter of heart
but i found it to be a matter of art" ~ human being
