Oh please, what are material pleasures to a creative like me?
What are they but a baseline; a kick-back to remind,
That there is yet a world that exists beyond, well, me.
What is a climax to a man who can fit existence
Into one potent and ephemeral verse, a nebula
For you to see from here to wherever on the map your dart hits.
Sorry – what was that? Oh, this sounds a little erotic?
Well, why not go the full mile and restrain me
Just don’t awaken a hidden kink in the process;
That was erotic too wasn’t it? Well too bad, I can’t help it.
Once I’ve delved this deep into a piece
Every word begins to bleed into the next
Psychedelic, like cursive, the words connect
Fishy how I get hooked. Ecstatic, yet sporadic, in how I receive and relay
The ideas that accumulate and manifest on the page.
Okay, enough with the showing off *ahem*

If you think I’m only messing around, read the title again.

I am not so old that I have forgotten that there is always an element of eroticism in life itself. Without it we would not be here!
Lol true! 😀
“Every word begins to bleed into the next
Psychedelic, like cursive, the words connect
Fishy how I get hooked. Ecstatic, yet sporadic, in how I receive and relay
The ideas that accumulate and manifest on the page.”
These lines define the existence of the artist and are surprisingly art itself.
An abstract and refreshing take, revolving around such an exceptional theme! Oh Dante, but you are messing around with your readers. I detect a very pleasant yet a smug tone in the brilliance of this piece. I actually snorted at the “hidden kink” line and it is really uncannily beautiful to be amused when reading someone’s poetry.
A spectacular piece of writing!

Thank you Enigma, you are one of the few that critically analyse my writing and I truly appreciate it ❤
I hope you have been well 🙂
It is always a pleasure to read something from you. This transformation in your writing style is quite refreshing to read.
I am well and I hope you are well too!

Would you consider us collaborating on a piece in the future? I would personally love that given our styles 🙂
Sure! I would love to collaborate with you. Although I have never collaborated with poets ever however, it is surely an exciting idea.
