I Like to Feel our Spine as One
Lady, if I could touch you with my mind
I’d paint you alive and shyly wanting
You would be long of soul
With eyes hard as love on fire
You’d wear silence as a dress
And nothing else, and hope for a shocking smile
Of the parted lips of time
Lady, If I could touch your spark
I’d be the warm glow of a tickling ache
That does not abate, but steadies with warmth
Gushing the garden-wall with after-thoughts
Or roses and our faces kissed
By the longing of impatience on the edge
Of passion so subtle it would be torture to endure
Lady, if only you knew the shadows
The clean dreams of love before we are doing to die
The galleries of faith where a woman
Can save, and these moments can empower
The sharing unity against all the futility
It’s quite a new thing for me
To have a body next to your body
To respond in your tangents of possibility
And shocking fuzz of parting flesh
Whose love crumbs are spiritual signs
And stroking cries break my self-limitations.

This is awesome. 🙂
This is beautiful.
Thanks Lisa, I’m trying to write erotic verse of a different more intimate kind. It’s some of my most experimental verse that receives the least feedback.
I like the way you worded it. Keep experimenting because it’s good.
I do enjoy writing erotic verse, it’s just a bit taboo in the blogging community it seems, not really sure what’s up with that.
Reblogged this on Busy Mind Thinking and commented:
Amazing Wuji!
Wonderful poem Wuji. Yay to the erotic. I’ve been dancing on the edge of writing erotic poetry too. Doing it with flowers for now! 🙂 Brad
Thanks Brad, erotic verse is great fun!
definitely!
Your imagery in this poem is so beautiful, Wuji. I just discovered your blog today, and I LOVE it! You don’t mind if i pretend that you wrote this for me, since you start with “Lady” several times, do you? Love, Lady Grey
Yes Lady Grey, I think perhaps I was thinking of you 🙂
