Nourishment

I wrote this in the grocery store parking lot, apparently grocery shopping makes me think about sex. So here's some grocery store parking lot rhymes for y'all.

Not one of us gets enough nutrients,
Or physical affection,
so pull down your pants and point me,
In the right direction,
In the middle of the produce section.

We're peelin' off the rinds,
Of 6 to 2, 7 to 3, 9 to 5 grinds,
and we find.

This all a challenge,
but somehow with daily vitamins and distractions we manage...

To keep ourselves locked up,
Behind nervous smiles and zippers,
Is where we'd like someone to pull our triggers,
Shoot up our pulse rates,
and provide a stage for someone's fingers.
Let our mouths remind us,
with a taste that lingers...

Of tonights performance spiting our own proponents,
of rationale and routine,
smiling at dirty sheets during the escape from our jeans.

Don't lead me to believe,
just lead me to your bed,
and I'll do my best to make a believer out of you instead.

That you deserve more,
tell me I'm what you want,
That in your daydreams I'm the ghost who haunts.

Your inhibitions and feelings you prepared,
I'll reply that you're not the only one who's scared.

Intend no intentions,
I'm just trying to get past my own preconceptions,
and you're the perfect one to lead this intervention,
bring your toothbrush, your anxieties, and contraception....

And without apprehension,
I won't proceed until you're as anxious as me,
to see,
each others' eyes roll back in our heads,
to see us get up to leave to jump back in bed.

I confess, I really have little more to say,
but I'm willing to listen and travel your body if you'll show me the way.

I am blessed to see you pleased,
when you're pushing my head down between your knees,
push harder,
I too need your release.

I need it,
I crave it,
be selfish and give me what I want...
tease and taunt,
and get caught,
as you're coming down,
but I won't let you hit the ground...

No matter how high you get,
you grant my wish to let...me respond.

I like this style of writing. I find it interesting that you refer to your stuff as rhyming rather than poetry. How come? I hesitate to call my own stuff poetry, and prefer to lump it all under the category of creative writing.
Did you write this before shopping or after? :)
Nice work!

thanks for commenting NickyG. Sometimes I write "poetry" and sometimes I just play with rhymes and see what comes up. A lot of my poetry rhymes, but my "rhymes" are usually written with a great emphasis on rhyming and not as much on the content. It's more of a free-writing form for me. Eye of the beholder I suppose.

And written before shopping,
I like having a notebook in the car so I can pull over somewhere if some passing words that go through my head happen to entertain me somewhat.

Hmmm.....I like it.

As a matter of fact, Ted, you have yet to write anything I don't like....

Sometimes frustrating that the stuff I put the least effort in gets the most response....but definitely cool that you guys bother to post comments either way.

Thx

It just goes to show you the lesson I learned in my college days, Ted...never put any effort into anything.

I liked this, especially the way it gets more raw and more intense as the realization of need gets stronger.
It almost reads like rap, except I generally hate rap but if rap was like this it might be good. ;)
On a purely mercenary note....thanks for wanting to get the other person off as part of your pleasure.
I'm assuming you're a guy and as a girl I think that's pretty cool. ;) Either way it's cool I guess.

You have an amazing flow to your work but that poem in particular (and I read them all) also described both the awkwardness of the lustful encounter, the fantasy associated with the produce isle and the craving of beautiful strangers that are only a zipper and a hello away.
I am banned from at least two supermarkets in the Northeast!
Great work.
