Poetry in Motion
When emotion moves inside me
Like a lover’s deep caress
It comes out on my paper
In the words that I express
It kisses my skin
In a way I can’t define
It stimulates my body
And arouses my mind
When I close my eyes
Our ideas intertwine
It parallels the universe
And throws me back in time
It’s sensually platonic
And neutrally erotic, exotic, neurotic
You got it?
Leaving you higher than any narcotic
It’s mind-blowing ecstasy
It brings out the best of me
Especially when you connect with me
Through analytical chemistry
It’s the formula for pleasure
That E = mc²
That mind over matter stuff
That leaves you physically impaired
And when I reach that climax
The ideas become transcendent
They screw with your brain
‘til the thoughts are interdependent
Then it flows through me
In an explosion of words
Leaves my soul in a bind
Twisted in whispers unheard
But once the high comes down
And the static fades to neutral
It’s just the voice within me
In this mental kama sutra
