Erotica
Communion
A sensual body positive poem
Soft and so plump
your fingers love to squeeze
as hard as you please.
No mouthfuls wasted on this
skin yearning to be touched.
The fine cracks in the patina,
a tactile pleasure of your history
adored by roaming hands.
There is a beauty
in something that has endured time
and weathered storms
that you thought you would have never survived.
A deep sexual energy that comes
with connecting to one’s inner self.
It shows in how one carries themselves.
The beauty of a woman
that has met her feminine inside.
As you open the eyes of your heart
you only see the divinity within.
Worshipping lips and palms
that touch as if in prayer.
Sanctuary is found
as you pass through the portal of the temple.
It is not the edifice that draws you in,
it is the undeniable knowing that you belong
HERE
with willing reciprocity within this union
as we consecrate the ground.
I did the artwork not long after reading Elle’s article about how not all of us have porn star bodies, present company included. I hope Medium doesn’t censor the artwork. It is of someone I know well and have become much more comfortable with over the last few years.
It may not be as steamy and full of acrobatics as some submissions but that doesn’t matter. What is important is when you learn to forget about your body image insecurities and just really feel connected to each other, allowing yourselves to surrender to the moment, it can feel really fucking great!
Maybe, even open a portal to another world.
Here is Elle’s article on the prompt.
