You can also hear me read this poem on:
Episode #17 of The Word Count podcast.
The prompt was “It happened so quickly I had no time to think, only react…”
Creative States
Naked in bed
Slouched over a laptop
Tapping at letters
Banging out words
Plotting and scheming
Writing and editing
Exhausted
An energy shift
The mind drained of thought
The body swept by lust
Impulsive heat
Warm and sticky
Wet with anticipation
Aroused
Skilled hands
Playing with a firm touch
Exploring every curve
Fingers wedged between swollen folds
Hips lifted off the bed
Writhing for more
Feverish
Hard frantic strokes
Grabbing at breasts
Squeezing and rubbing
Gasping for air
And a scream of release
Shallow breaths
Refocused
My dear, you need to write poetry more often. You say more with less, pit desire with turn of phrase better than anyone I know.

Wow…what a wonderful compliment. Thanks so much, my dear Sir Richard.

That’s the best way I’ve ever heard to get back on track in the middle of a project.
Nicely done, my dear!
Thanks Netta!

To know you is to love you more- friend. You have done what poetry is meant to do. Give power to words and cause the mind to open. And what Les said, LOL.
You are a poet to awaken the soul! Wonderful.
Someday my internet will be fast enough to hear your voice but maybe hearing it in my mind is enough.
Dannie, what a beautiful thing to say. I’m really humbled by your words, thank you,
