Unbutton Me

Unbutton me

slowly-

not because you must,

but because you enjoy the undoing.

Let your fingers linger

at each clasp,

as if patience

were a kind of hunger

and you've decided-

to feast on anticipation.

Pull the fabric aside

like a curtain

revealing something sacred.

Let your mouth follow

the path your hands started-

down my throat,

across my collarbone,

lower,

lower,

to the heat that rises 

just for you.

I want you to explore me

like a man discovering

his favorite sin.

 

I want you to make a map

of my reactions-

the gasp,

the ache,

the low sound I only make

when I'm touched 

just right.

unbutton me.

until there is nothing between 

your hunger and mine.

This is the stuff dreams are made of, beautifully written, very sensual and sexy.

Nice.

Tracey.

Thank you, Trace. That’s really kind of you to say. I’m glad the piece landed that way for you.

Curly,
It is amazing that poetry is such a well-kept secret in the twenty-first century. This poem ought to wake everybody up to what it is like to walk in the presence of beauty, to know that when you read, whole worlds are created, quests are won, and happiness sports muscles. Maybe I said something recently about a poetry reading in Nashville. I always offered my students extra credit if they attended, and even more if they would read. Usually, I'd have three or four. Then I got a class obsessed with their GPA... ALL of the rabid! So on that one night, twenty-something of them showed up, most with their parents. and much to the diamay of my friends..."Vol, It's EROTICA NIGHT!" And let me tell you, those little old ladies were GRAPHIC! It was an anatomy class with hot sauce and spice, and bodily fluids thrown in. I thought I would be fired... but the only thing that happened was, ALL the readings for the rest of the year were well attended, indeed. We all know sex sells, so if we did enough good, juicy poems we might save poetry itself!

An amazing dance of words dear poet. You took me back to my days of love. Knowing love should be gentle, fun and a memory to keep. Thank you for sharing the amazing poetry.

Thank you, Coyote… I’m glad the piece brought back something meaningful for you.

This is just gorgeous! I wish I could share these sentiments with my special someone.
But we'll never meet and to edge us both with this would be painful.
What beautifully sensual poetics!

[Curly Grace]

Thank you… that’s very kind to say. I’m glad the piece spoke to you.

[John the Baptist]

Thanks. You have reinforced my contention that the best erotica contains no vulgarities.

[Curly Grace]

I’m glad it reached you. I’ve always trusted suggestion more than bluntness; it leaves room for breath, imagination, and ache. I’ve found that the most potent erotica is whispered, not shouted.

There is such heat in this, yet done in such a tasteful and classy way. The reader is unbuttoning the theme as the words move his or her fingers.
