Notes About The Poem

SMOKE SLEEVE TATTOO rendition by poet

Creativity is a wild mind and a disciplined focus—Dorothy Parker

I Wear Your Handwriting

I wear your handwriting,
 fingerprints color my form
pressing poetically, buargeoning 
on heaving breasts
  and thickened nipples,
lyrical layers of cursive content 
reflect rubaiyat scribbles
 of "I love you"
across a bared belly 
 Notes of sweet nothings
linger abut 
 Warm hands
paint upon with 
 rapturous rhymes
rewinding,
brushstrokes bathe our bodies,
 as I read you
hammering pulsation
 of your heartbeat 
comes alive,
as sketchings 
adrift draft melting kisses
Tattooed tunes,
as pet names,
 titillating resins 
 of a lovers gifts
You are in my skin

Dear Anaya, you always write with this wild, full-body energy that only you can pull off. Even in a piece this bold, the thing that really hits me is the craft you layer motion, sound, and image so the whole poem feels like it’s moving across the page. Powerful piece, my friend, you definitely poured your whole voice into it. Blessings, Daniel

Daniel, I'm smilingly eager to read your thoughts and splendid little dissertation, yes, I am a free-spirited poetess! Without being bawdy or gratuitous, human sensuality expressed through poetry is an imperative if one is to be candid and forthright concerning the human condition. I did my best not to censor myself in such matters which concern us all. ;) Tyvm, for your kind visits & comments. Warmest wishes
