Tactile Resonance

I like the way you feel.

 

 

Tactile Resonance

It’s a matter of texture, at my fingers, on my tongue
Slipping down my throat deliciously, eyes rolling back in my head
Acid, sweet, straight up, neat
Crystalline pieces melt in a pool of viscous saliva

It’s a matter of texture, at my hands, on my eyes
Creamy flesh of the inner thigh, smooth, I linger in anticipation
Fruitful, strong, softly, long
The kiss slightly wet, makes a mess of my little mind

It’s a matter of texture, at my soles, on my skin
Digging toes sharing molecular harmony with the essence of organic life
Sharp, growing, warmth, flowing
Icy cold water rinses the tension from between my toes

It’s a matter of texture, at my thoughts, on my mind
Information slides like plate tectonics, engaging ideas
Shifting, grinding, rolling, binding
My thoughts resonate at the frequency of the expanding universe

I liked how this poem felt. Nice natural rhythm. And your vocabulary did have texture that created interesting combinations of sensations. This was a good poem. Might have made a little mess in my mind.

Not sure how I rate to get so many reviews from you my friend, but thank you. Another older one. Do you ever have that thing happen where you go back one day and red your own stuff and say...this is unequivocally a piece of s**t, and then the next time you read it, "hey this not bad". I can never make up my mind. Thank you kindly!

That's why I try to let them simmer after they cook. Fix something before it cools into the solid congealed mess of words. Partly why were here, right? Let other poets let us know if it's S**t or shinola. I always try to get a feel for a poet by reading new and then old. Those first ones we post usually mean something to us and I don't want to miss any gems.

I felt this & it felt so good... cheers... N

So Im sensing and inner thigh obsession here.lol Get the feeling you are a leg man :) Already got the hint that you are an amazing writer! So here at the beginning I must start! BRAVO!

[Crowley]

How weird is that you stumble on a brand new one and a really old one that both have that line it. Well inner thigh is good...just sayin'.,,lol,

[Gypsy Warrior Queen]

I know....now I must connect the connection.lol

"Tactile Resonance"
Crowley,
You have treated something beautiful in this life with the respect which it deserves. The very life force is within us and this sacred thing is meant to bring a husband and wife the intrinsic and strong thread which only is shared in total intimacy and vulnerability. Creative one. I wan not sure at first what the subject was but then I thought. Oh my! He is writing about....You know what.
Blessings,
Kathy

Sounds like a night of Tequila shots in Old Mexico.... and more... Thought I'd start at the "back of the bus" today... ya didn't disappoint.

Howdy, Crowley!
An excellent syntactic piece of sensually inscribed science that gets the juices nicely flowing, and speaking of flow, your cadence, inner-rhymes, metaphor, imagery, moment, and nuances, etc; all combine to do just that, in this suite of skillfully rendered Free Style Quatrains.
I can tell this ain't your first poetic rodeo.

Good stuff, enjoyed very much, but you can't fool me, this ain't about science … LOL! ⁓ Richard ; )

[Crowley]

Wow you went way back in the collection, I forgot I had that one. Thanks for coming by and for the great review. Had been off of the site for a couple years, but decided to come back and see what was happening. So far so good.

Good to meetcha!

It is a matter of texture. Very true. I really like the overall flow and feel of this piece. You do really use the senses in a very direct way. I like that. People (myself included) tend to avoid the senses in poetry and you look them straight in the eye, say "you are b=my b*tches" and use them as the vehicles of poetry. Wonderful job. haha. Thanks for sharing.

Great piece bro.

first off, the sensual language and natural cadence is right on time!
beyond that, the sounds of the words chosen roll around in the mouth like warm food. one of your best in my opinion.

and I wish my thoughts did that last brilliant thing you said, but they usually just lie around like grumpy old dogs and stagnate. lol!

cheers!

A beautiful poem to wake up to... My kind of writing, deeply sensual, strong pattern - allowing us to discover the world in a whole new way.

. ohhhh ... splendid ... a new you in a new hue ...

let those thoughts resonate
let them reverberate
they're too sublime
time after time
