The Sexual Arts

Inspired by Kristy Lee’s “sleeping around’. Go ahead …read into it … perverts!

—Get this! Inspired by Krity’s journal entry / with a teaser title no less.
But I here must add that the comments helped. Especially LisaG’s “You Jealous Rocky!”

The Sexual Arts belongs to the following groups:

"Poetry and Beautiful Women" and The Sensual Word

Sleeping around with the museums and libraries
Ageless vitality; ever humbled by gravity

Books still wake up making love before breakfast
Paintings can kiss you long after you leave them

Letters, and oils, and pastels, and pencils can …
Eat your heart out and rip your soul a new one

But love, lust, and sex know the clock of bones’ bleeding…
Well the pleasures of living, and the dance of one’s mind

Jealous and envy-free, wild-joy living
And the lost and found divine cocoon of alone

Sure, it’s no womb, but its warm, wet, and waiting
For you to go come home here
To end up beginnings
And age onto time is a memory laughing
With You! … that bright glint; your eye’s vital-soul blazing

You’re sexy
and that is … will not fade throughout …
your art; your loves’ bones; your expensive art’s flesh
Priceless, poor, rich; so hot; fire! Look out!

    Thanks you dear Kafka! Especially for voicing the line that moved you most, AND the voice of how moved you were behind that. I am most grateful for that extended a comment!
