I have another poetry offering for Swell tonight in honor of National Poetry Month. And this is a piece entitled My Flower Limitless. She tempted me with the possibility of love sweet sensual longing. The flower of passion. It was just a seed in my garden, planted and buried, almost lost in truth, forgotten until the rains came. Her fluid seduction pores of sexual healing like water, my dry earth thirsty, I drank her in in oasis overflowing

You. This one has a couple different avenues for me. It's hot, sensual, it's embracing heat, it's embracing yearning and just very, very sexy. And at the same time, it has another edge to it that's just oh, it needing, wanting, yearning. Beautifully done. I love you so much
Yes. Yes, Mama. You get me. You get me so well. It's just so awesome to have a sister friend that knows me so much. Yes, this is definitely blatantly sensual. But at the same time there is the underlying sweetness of love and love's long longing and wanting that connection and yearning and just being in that gentle flower of love and feeling that and wanting to express that but definitely surrounded by that spicy coating of sensuality instead sexuality and sexual awareness

You? Yes, I'm obsessed with longing poems. And especially when they use nature metaphors. You nailed it. Wow. Yeah. This just took me to a really sensual space face. And that is one of your fortes, for sure. Just lovely and yummy
But no longer do I feel that I love being a sensual sexual being, and I the amazing magic that comes from that in my creativity. So, yes, this is all the sensual feels, and I'm so, so proud of it. And I'm so grateful to have you here celebrating that with me. You mean the world to me. Thank you for being here
But the way, like I said, that you've combined this, the love, the desire, the longing, the passion and the sensuality in such a way that you did and even in a poem that was not so very long, but I feel like I watched it happen. I feel like I watched you walk past the dirt pile where the seed was and forgot that there was anything planted or that anything would grow until it just showed up and it was just there. And it was beautiful
To be able to just sit in my seat of self and not worry about how it will be perceived. Eat and so this poem, a lot of it is coming from that place, that emotion that I want to express my complete and total sense of what love is for me, which includes not only the compassionate form of love, but also the sensual and sexual form of love
Of a sense of fear and self preservation in me to where I didn't want to display anything that was going to, I felt, bring me hurt or sorrow because of such sadness that I have encountered throughout my life. So I learned to swallow all of those feelings and just keep them held at bay. And this piece is about those things being released. So going through the lines of the poem, the first line is limitless, she tempted me. That is two different parts of me
I just have denied that for so long because of all of the things that I've suffered. I've allowed myself to push that away and that became my shadow self. So my shadow has actually been a lot of the best parts of me that I denied and was afraid of because of what I feared would be me being rejected because of it or judged because of it. And then the next lines, the last part of the poem

So that's what your poetry does. It makes me want to go back and just sharpen my skills, even moe, because you always want to be at your best and sometimes you just feel that you often become your worst critic, your own worst critic. So I really enjoy listening to you. Listening to you is like a mini Broadway play. You bring in a mini Broadway play to a mini podcast. Well cast. Thank you very much. You are awesome
I don't even have the words and usually I'm a person that has all of the words, but it's just getting to the point where I just feel so overwhelmed with all of these replies and I'm just grateful. I'm just really grateful. So thank you so much. I appreciate you so much and I'm just glad to be able to share my poetry, my verse with all of you

It. Wow. That was awesome. It really was. And I have not been all swell in a minute. I've been caught up working. And the image that the imagery, the picture caught my eye first. And that was just beautifully done. I always tell you this. You're so organized. Everything with you is just to the T, to the sign, and it's just bomb. I'm speechless. I felt every line in that. It was so sensual
