Exposing Anatomy

That's not how
you should unrobe me.
Before epidermis,
feel the layer of shame
on my quivering skin.
You shouldn't expose
my vulnerable desire.
Before groping,
tell me about your day
or hear what I say.
You shouldn't bite
my lips like that.
I bleed from the pain
that wounds my kisses
and silences my tongue.
You shouldn't break
my bone one by one.
Touch my fingers first,
then my nape,
and you'll have my arms.
You shouldn't measure
my groin, my loin, my legs.
My depth is my soul,
my length, my patience,
my height, my pride.
That's not how
you should disrobe me.
Watch my toes curl,
my brow crease and beg,
then expose my anatomy.

Excellent poetry!

So chaste in spite of its erotic explicitness!

Thanks, Prince. Nice seeing you again. Thanks also for giving my current poetic interest a name-- chaste eroticism, an oxymoron that is hard to write.

Beautiful undressing of our physical and emotional vulnerability Miyako

Thanks, guys. It's nice to face a challenge that is poetry when one finds out that he or she makes sense. Poetry, after all, is created with much hesitation because of doubting and questioning.

Please write more...
