Complex Mentality

You put a hunger
upon my lips
a taste of desire
a lust that drips
igniting the flame
that burns within my frame

Lightning bolts
twinges of pain
disguised in pleasures mask

Electricity surging through my body
beating out a rhythm
like a Voodoo Drum

Kidnapping my breath
as I reach an Orgasmic
loss of speech

Remember
sometimes words
is all it takes

Poetry and passion
a Puppet-master
Mastering my mind
taking hold of my hands
controlling my fingers
making them dance
making them grand-plié
and Pas de deux

Superlicious delicious
hypnotic erotic
dripping ink
onto the page

My heart has butterflies inside
stored deep inside my framework
outlining my core with your voice

Got me penning down
my uncensored
unrestricted thoughts
verse by verse
filling up the pages
of my journal
with no time
to rehearse

I got to pin them down
before they escape my mind
disappearing inside
got me blazing through this
like a whirlwind
spitting out fire again

Making your insides collapse
from the rushing waves of heat

Mentally I'm complex
intellectually injected
with a dialect
of a poetic acrobat
aligned with a spine
that is out of line

Leaving behind casualties
of this fatality that Ive made
a reality in my mind

Smooth and divine
as I commit
this crime of arson
burning up the pages
with my words
breaking free
of the Pen-i-tentiary

When you think of poetry
I hope you mention me
so they can psychoanalyze me
so they can research the words I said
dissect my metaphors
and I will be a legend
breathing among the dead
Complex Mentality
its not a dream
its my reality

Author's Note

for those of you who do not know what Pas de deux means ... meaning "step of two" Pas de deux is a duet usually performed by a female and a male dancer

"You put a hunger

Great start!!! This had a musical tinge to it...it reverberated in my head for some time before i moved to the next line. Wonderful start here Samantha.

"Poetry and passion

OK OK you just have too many good stanzas i should stop quoting them or i'll just copy paste the whole poem.

How you translate your thoughts into vivid pictures as always astounds me. You laminated intensity vividly with your words, trapping it well. You have such a classy enlightened way of conveying your ideas Samantha.
This was flawless work and i like the story it told.
WONDERFUL PIECE

I like the images in this poem. I also like how you flow from one idea to the next so easily. Your word choice is great as well. This poem was really good and I enjoyed reading it. Good job.

I liked this a lot. I think the intensity and rhythm of the poem is excellent. Intensely sexual without being smutty. Excellent work.

this is really great, the words are like shapes when i hear them in my head. The weaving and timing is impressive, this is really well read as a whole. Relentlessly charismatic words, complementing and contrasting eachother wonderfully the whole way through. Not generally a big fan of erotic themed poetry, except when its done like this, i love how the sex and artistic inspiration go hand in hand.
