Lost in Space III: multi tasking your body

The fifth poem I put on HP; few* read it so I resubmit as Lost In Space III.

I tinkered with it slightly... O yeah, based on a true story....

 

Multi-tasking your body

 

Kissing your eyes,

Sense the tipsiness of your

Trembling lashes,

Drinking a poem from

My poetry birthing place.

 

Between  kisses and rapido exhales,

Stutter and lisp

Uttered word-wisps,

Shockingly bad love poem stories.

 

Right hand strokes thy chest,

sensing/sending heartbeats upon my palm to the

Forever keep part of my

Treasury memory chest.

 

All the while my left finger

Catalogues, indexes.

It, mesmerized, it memorizes,

The curvatures of thy face

To be stored in the

Never-forget, always-place.

 

My tongue restless to participate

Goes wherever it feels like,

For the tongue is the only body part

With a mind of its own,

And enjoys getting into

What it calls, the best kind of trouble.

 

My eyes, my eyes, see only the

Totality of this moment.

When mastery of multi-tasking

Is the single best poem this man ever

Penned with his entirety,

Of which not word survived

For its unspoken silence was its glory....

With the exception of the High Priestess of HP, Lori C., as usual...so this one goes out to her!
