Wild Abandon - Poetry Prompt

Photo by Anna Langova

I believe in the erotic and I believe in it as an enlightening force within our lives as women. I have become clearer about the distinctions between the erotic and other apparently similar forces. We tend to think of the erotic as an easy, tantalizing sexual arousal. I speak of the erotic as the deepest life force, a force which moves us toward living in a fundamental way. And when I say living I mean it as that force which moves us toward what will accomplish real positive change. ~ Audre Lorde

Poetry Prompt: 

We haven't had a prompt such as this before, is probably what you are thinking. Now I am not suggesting you write a poem that is x rated. I am suggesting you get in touch with your sensual side, the deep life force which Audre Lorde speaks of above. You can explore what sensuality means to you, or even create a sensual poem. Of course you can explore sensuality in your words, but just remember this is a G/PG site. Here is a poem I wrote years ago and shared in OctPoWriMo and in my book, Dancing within Shadow.

Emotions so full

to overflowing

stomach tightening

goosebumps prickling

butterflies flying

heart quickening

Palms sweating

head dizzying

mouth watering

tongue tasting

scents filling

touching skin

to skin

velvet

thick

warm

hot

sweat dripping

bodies moving

feeling turned

inside out

outside in

fingers twining

pulling

pushing

toes curling

eyes crossing

Mind numbing

mouths opening

to silent screams

soft moans

whimpers

groans

grunting

screaming out

bodies quivering

floating down

slowly moving

tender kisses

softly smiling

hands caressing

beyond reason

beyond doubt

I give the above poem as an example in case you needed one.
