I Don't Know Erotica

So...can you teach me?

My lover...

I am a poet.

But I don't know erotica.

Will you please...

undress my ignorance

and write me an experience?

I am like a delicate paper,

consumed with the desire to be felt--

Just promise you'll be gentle?

Explore my exposed flesh with poetic touches

and discover a potential universe.

Wrap me inside the wonder of your words...

Until we explode--

in prose and poetry.

Yes...

Lose me in the pages of your passion...

Again and again.

Author's Note

*Blush* I'm not comfortable with free verse. And erotica.

[Anita Singh]

Very elegantly written.
My favorite lines..."I am like a delicate paper,
consumed with the desire to be felt--"

[David Scott]

Seems like I read this before. Still, I like the obvious play of innocence. Actually this is very sexy roll playing of a sort.
The write is intelligent and proves you know exactly what you are doing.
Well done!

[Cassie]

Wow!!!!! this is so so beautiful my dear gal, I enjoyed each bit of it. You are very talented, do not let go of that talent. I need to keep this one.

[Child of God]

This is great, it's erotica without the nasty parts

[Blue]

I like that kind of erotica. Thank you, Ryan.

[Child of God]

as do I lol and you're welcome

[Jack...]

My friend, this is perfect. So smooth and filled with just the right hint of sensuality. And as far as free verse goes...you did wonderfully, this reads easy and fluid. This was beautiful.

Glad to hear from you again, Jack. Thank you.

You are a poet - and an exceptional one. I'm not comfortable with erotica either and have found there is a fine line between writing something beautiful and writing something pornographic - but you have written a sensual litle masterpiece with lines so lovely...I am like a delicate paper,
consumed with the desire to be felt--
Absolutely stunning my friend.

Wow. One of the best reviews on this poem, I think. It's always an honor to hear from you, Julie.

[Eric Pudalov]

For someone who "[doesn't] know erotica," you write an ironic version of it very well. Excellent metaphorical descriptions, and it was a joy to read. (That's something I'm also working on learning - erotica, that is.)

Thank you so much, Eric. Nice to meet you!
