I was having a wonderful conversation with a friend of mine last night on Facebook. She mentioned that sex is more than the physical act and that engaging people on the level of the mind and intellect is much more satisfying. This poem came out of that conversation. Enjoy!
Mental Missionary
(For Riney)
Literary lips
licking frontal lobes
Stretching sensuality with sound of voice
Touching without hands
The centre of your being
Making love to your mind
Thoughts twisting
Fisting
Clenching
Sparring words:
I give, you take
You parry, I fake …
Feel you rake
nails down cerebral spine.
Your thoughts supine
leak ambrosia’s oil;
stimulating speech
leaves eager emotions wet,
anticipating intellectual entry:
Mental missionary.

Posted by hedgewitch | December 7, 2011, 3:23 PMIt’s a good piece. I have a friend that tells me it seems like it’s missing something – like it should be longer with some more lines just before the last one. I dunno… I kinda like it how it is, though it could probably be expanded…

Posted by bajanpoet | December 7, 2011, 11:43 PMAh, the sweet joining of minds! Should co-celebrists exclaim in staccato shouts whenever they share an Idea? Are thoughts best explored mutually on a bed? Or in the dark? Or in the stacks at the library? What can co-cerebrists touch upon that is most likely to bring great mutual stimulation? In the house of ideas, what should be placed upon our lips?
I want more, I guess. Worth looking into?
