Erotic poetry thread? Something really subtle, yours or of poets you like. Don't give me distasteful shit.
I'll start with an English translation of an Arabian poem:
Star Woman,
the memory of our embrace still lives
in this bed, adjacent to your dreams
and desires, and near these handkerchiefs
drenched in your scent.
You woke in the dawn
at three exactly, drowsing,
still dazed…
Beneath the sounds of your breathing
lurks a worry: where is your mirror?
And this droplet of light
reflecting a passion
that found a name for everything…

Not as familiar as I should be. Interested.
Got any more?
A classic

no sorry I don't even know how I found this

That's okay, anon. It could've been a good thread
Stay safe. I care about you
Yeats, cummings, Keats, Byron, Elizabeth Browning, Shakespeare, and best of all, John Donne.
Nature withheld Cassandra in the skies
For more adornment a full thousand years;
She took their cream of Beauty’s fairest dyes,
And shap’d and tinted her above all Peers:
Meanwhile Love kept her dearly with his wings,
And underneath their shadow fill’d her eyes
With such a richness that the cloudy Kings
Of high Olympus utter’d slavish sighs.
When from the Heavens I saw her first descend
My heart took fire, and only burning pains
They were my pleasures — they my Life’s sad end;
Love pour’d her beauty into my warm veins...

if I should sleep with a lady called death
get another man with firmer lips
to take your new mouth in his teeth
(hips pumping pleasure into hips).
Seeing how the limp huddling string
of your smile over his body squirms
kissingly, I will bring you every spring
handfuls of little normal worms.
Dress deftly your flesh in stupid stuffs,
phrase the immense weapon of your hair.
Understanding why his eye laughs,
I will bring you every year
something which is worth the whole,
an inch of nothing for your soul.

Something like a sea tossing
in its weedy bed, the tides
its yawning tries at waking,
partly rising, then returning,
something like sounds lying
in a word’s shape, like something
lightning-welded, something locked,
something like magnets clinging,
something like plant-cuttings rooting
together in night dirt, like something
braided, three things, and one, a trinity,
are you, your bed, and I this morning.

oh the stanza breaks didn't show up
Something like a sea tossing
in its weedy bed, the tides
its yawning tries at waking,
partly rising, then returning,
something like sounds lying
in a word’s shape, like something
lightning-welded, something locked,
something like magnets clinging,
something like plant-cuttings rooting
together in night dirt, like something
braided, three things, and one, a trinity,
are you, your bed, and I this morning.

Yet in an hour to come, disdainful dust,
You shall be bowed and brought to bed with me.
While the blood roars, or when the blood is rust
About a broken engine, this shall be.
If not today, then later; if not here
On the green grass, with sighing, and delight,
Then under it, all in good time, my dear,
We shall be laid together in the night.
And ruder and more violent, be assured,
Than the desirous body's heat and sweat
That shameful kiss by more than night obscured
Wherewith at length the scornfullest mouth is met.
Life has no friend; her converts late or soon
Slide back to feed the dragon with the moon.
Roses of red
Violets of glass
I'm looking for
Some of that ass
>>8837028
They flee from me that sometime did me seek
With naked foot, stalking in my chamber.
I have seen them gentle, tame, and meek,
That now are wild and do not remember
That sometime they put themself in danger
To take bread at my hand; and now they range,
Busily seeking with a continual change.
Thanked be fortune it hath been otherwise
Twenty times better; but once in special,
In thin array after a pleasant guise,
When her loose gown from her shoulders did fall,
And she me caught in her arms long and small;
Therewithall sweetly did me kiss
And softly said, “Dear heart, how like you this?”
It was no dream: I lay broad waking.
But all is turned thorough my gentleness
Into a strange fashion of forsaking;
And I have leave to go of her goodness,
And she also, to use newfangleness.
But since that I so kindly am served
I would fain know what she hath deserved.

Vessels
Shouldn’t it ache, this slit
into the sweet
and salt mix of waters
comprising the mussel,
its labial meats
winged open: yellow-
fleshed, black and gray
around the tough
adductor? It hurts
to imagine it, regardless
of the harvester’s
denials, swiveling
his knife to make
the incision: one
dull cyst nicked
from the oyster’s
mantle—its thread of red
gland no bigger
than a seed
of trout roe—pressed
inside the tendered
flesh. Both hosts eased
open with a knife
(as if anything
could be said to be eased
with a knife):
so that one pearl
after another can be
harvested, polished,
added to others
until a single rope is strung
on silk. Linked
by what you think
is pain. Nothing
could be so roughly
handled and yet feel
so little, your pity
turned into part of this
production: you
with your small,
four-chambered heart,
shyness, hungers, envy: what
could be so precious
you’d cleave
another to keep it
close? Imagine
the weeks it takes to wind
nacre over the red
seed placed at the other
heart’s mantle.
The mussel
become what no one
wants to:
vessel, caisson, wounded
into making us
the thing we want
to call beautiful.
kinda bdsmy tho

Study me then, you who shall lovers be
At the next world, that is, at the next spring;
For I am every dead thing,
In whom Love wrought new alchemy.
For his art did express
A quintessence even from nothingness,
From dull privations, and lean emptiness;
He ruin'd me, and I am re-begot
Of absence, darkness, death: things which are not.
Here's one I just wrote
My dick
In your pussy
