Connection



Being more than just a poet
Writer that gets under your skin
Not for reasons that you expect
Makes a person connection deep within

Selects words that would uncommonly attract
Poetic theme that intellectually would arouse
Poem that makes you the subject
Surprisingly causing to raise your brows

Poetry giving reader and writer pleasure
Is every poets desired literary success
Harmonious experience that brings you together
Intimate consensual stimulation like physical sex
