Confessionally

comfort is not in form of sweat nor in movement but in the creases of pillows and sheets white as lies where i carve my secret reverie: no dosage of metaphor when it comes to you and the heat of your lips pressing against mine and the brace of your body warm as your skin and pores and breath and the touch of your fingers on the course of this spine and the need i confess and plead guilty in between your legs entwined. Author's note: inspired by Sir John Heck's poem entitled Ewe and Eye.

Gino - First off, great title! One of my favorite poets, Anne Sexton was considered, in the 1960's...a confessional poet. Critics raised eyebrows to her writings yet she went on to winning A Pulitzer Prize for poetry. Keep the emotions real and smack them in the reader's face - you just did that with this penning! Stunning, as always...Peace always, John
