the language of a priori

you call...
suddenly I'm wet and crazy 
needing you
I can hardly think for hours 
I come back to you 
over and over 
my day a dream now
lost under the spell
of your inner poetry.
 
I don't know what this is exactly 
and I don't want to try to decipher
it's hidden secrets and codes...
 
I only know it comes before 
thought itself, 
this desire to be under you
part of you,
to melt into you.
 
sexual... yes, 
but also something more -
beyond anything, 
intangible,
inescapable.
 
absorbing you through all my senses,
like reading some esoteric text 
the translation becomes understood 
not through words, definitions or concepts 
but through physiological manifestations. 
 
my mind does not understand, yet 
my body interprets and responds. 
you tease me yes, but also unintentionally 
because that language, if it is such, resides in you 
and whispers to me continually...
 
I crave you utterly 
 
yours.

And the art and the poem are in a sexual dance together too! 

Giving birth to these comments, I mean.

I love the rabi khan work. you know they list them as photographic prints? I thought for some time it was metal work, but it seems to be more what you have in your hubs, the fixing up of photos.

Aww g-ma, your words make me a sad panda :( I believe the term you were looking for is Andropause, we aint immune ;)

Iounn; What I personally think makes this poem and a lot of your poems is the fact that you react to very personal primal needs and cravings, tearing through the cushioning of civility if you will. It makes it a very sincere and powerful piece of writing. (and also makes you look wise!)

Thoog.

I'm not sure wisdom and romantic love go together, but thank you. :)

Wisdom in finding yoru true feelings and realizing what they are. It's something I personalyl struggle with but you seem to have no problem with analyzing. That makes it seem wise in my eyes.

Might be wrong of course :)

THoog.

I keep going back and forth with it and right now I'm thinking the value is in the loving itself... not in the result, successful or unsuccessful.

I just joined HubPages to say you I love your Hubs. I am a fan of you,Thank you for liking my art and using in your Hub. My art works are digital painting, not fixing up photos...(In art.com you will find fine art prints too) I'm not saying fixing up photos are not art...I paint on digital (photoshop) canvas...with my emotion and quest for art... any way...I love your poetry...Keep it UP!

OMG! I am thrilled. You can't have any idea. I love your work and since you joined I hope you make a Hub with links to where we can access and/or purchase your art.

I will be happy to link to your Hub from here to send people there too. Thank you so much for stopping in. I didn't have any clue to your bio and didn't even know if you were a living artist.

I couldn't be more thrilled you found me here and I admit to being relieved, like most artists I feature, that you didn't mind me using your piece.

I fell in love with your work at first look.

Thank you for promoting my art.

You will be glad to know I am planing to post my art here in HubPages before posting for sale...so I will try to let my reader/viewers know thoughts /story about my art. And also I hope to give a glimpse of my life...

I think people like very much to identify with artists they are taken with, a bit of personal, so I am pleased to hear that and think it will be helpful to you. I know the more I know about a person, the more interest I take in their work as I have a better background to look at it from.

I did want to say, I've never 'borrowed' your mother and child, but I love that piece.
