Is it possible for us to truly love more than one
person at a time?
Can anyone really give everything to more
than one person?
Will someone always be shorted or
feel alone if time and energy is divided?
I think you must put all your energy and time
into a relationship if you
want to stay close and
grow with a person.
Splitting time between more than one person
leaves someone behind.
If you are gonna love someone,
do it with all your heart...
give them the time and energy they deserve.
When I was in high school...
my best friends mom took us to get sexy underware.
She told us that its important for you to feel sexy...
even if nobody else sees it.
Everyone loves the clubs...
the attention, low lighting,
the pulsing of the music.
What makes it all the more fun is to
be dressed provocatively so that all eyes
are on you!!
Make em stare!
if a man is only as good as his word,
then I want to marry a man with a vocabulary like yours.
the way you say “dicey” and “delectable” and “octogenarian”
in the same sentence—
that really turns me on,
the way you describe the oranges in your backyard
using “anarchistic” and “intimate” in the same breath.
i would follow the legato and staccato of your tongue
wrapping around your diction
until listening become more like dreaming
and dreaming became more like kissing you.
i want to jump off the cliff of your voice
into the suicide of your stream of consciousness.
i want to visit the place in your heart where the wrong words die.
i want to map it out with a dictionary and points of brilliant light
until it looks more like a star chart than a strategy for communication.
i want to see where your words are born.
i want to find a pattern in the astrology.
i want to memorize the scripts of your seductions.
i want to live in the long-winded epics of your disappointments,
in the haiku of your epiphanies.
i want to know all the names you’ve given your desires.
i want to find my name among them,
‘cause there is nothing more wrecking-sexy than the right word.
i want to thank whoever told you there was no such thing as a synonym.
i want to throw a party for the heartbreak that turned you into a poet.
and if it is true that a man is only as good as his word
then, sweet jesus,
let me be there the first time you are speechless,
and all your explosive wisdom
becomes a burning ball of sun in your throat,
and all you can bring yourself to utter is, oh god,
oh god…. by Mindy Nettifee
It is true, seduce my mind and you will seduce my body!!
