What a poet wants
I want this poem
to make love
to you
to un-
tether
you
welcome
you
in
I want it to
tickle &
tease
tingle
inside
your
ear
tantalize
I want this
poem to wax
& wane
go
whimsy &
wild
words
falling
line
after
line
your
limbs
lengthen
your
breath
quickened
This poem wants
to call
you
by your
true
name

Oooooo! Fire!
Sensual poem! I definitely felt the temperature rise.
Just what I was hoping!
Beautiful invocation, the form on the page is so effective
Thank you!
Truly gorgeous! I love every line, and especially,
“line
after
line
your
limbs
lengthen”
💛
Excellent!
