My Erotic Poetry + Photography

4 Poems of Passion

The following poetry and photosets are highly intimate and personal. Most, if not all my poetry, tends to combine emotion, erticisim, and the elements, drawing from sensory experiences, fantasy, and passion.

I’ve learned over many years that poetry doesn’t come easy when forced. I struggled when I taught it to grad students because I knew how hard it was to create on the spot when it wasn’t coming from inside, but rather trying to follow the “rules” of scripted memorization.

For me, I preferred to keep a notebook and would scribe when a moment struck. The following poems were written at different times over the last few years. They often flow through me when I’m deep in thought, usually in the late hours of the night when I’m alone and enjoying the company of solitude and darkness. I enjoy those hours because I get so few of them these days when nothing is needed of me and I’m able to simply exist.

The black and photography that accompanies the poems were not taken specifically for the poems, but yet somehow fit perfectly. Shape, shadow, and skin combine to create poetry all their own. I sincerely hope you enjoy this diary entry.
