sexuality not sensual

gutters out

 

if sensuality equates sexuality

finesse unplumbed

 

true intimacy of senses

transcends body

 

so simple so easy

so rare

Cynthia,
All definitely true...the truest line is the last one.

Not sure how you've done it Cynthia, but this poem demands attention and makes one really think about each word (which I'm in agreement with too).

Good to see you back Cynthia!
If true sensuality is about the senses and not the body, I'm right with you.

I've had to re- read this more than a few times to make sure I'm understanding it correctly. It's an admirable poem and concept. Yes - it would be rare to find someone you could be like that with.

beautiful Cynthia... for some reason the words seem as if sweet shisha smoke... there is luxurious simple rhythm to it which I love.

'finesse unplumbed' mmMMM

Dainty structure, to do with the most fragile of feelings - this is lovely Cynthia. Succinct, delicate, expressing what I would say is a truth :)
