Your voice makes me shiver
I'm like an earthquake when I quiver

I can't breathe when I look at you
I'm your weak knees girl
You make me think things
I've never thought of before
Now you've turned my whole world
Upside down, and as he sings
I continue to want more

I want to taste his skin,
I want to feel him inside of me
He's like an antidote in my disease
He helps to release
All this pain that makes existence
A b*tch

I want to run my hands through that hair,
His lips,
His teeth
I want him to bite me with those teeth of his
I want him to touch me
Stop teasing me
In the things he does

He makes me blood pressure shoot
Like a gun
He makes me weak and helpless
Like a kitten
It's hopeless
But it's true

I'm your weak knees girl
You make my whole world
Worth living

Feel me,
Touch me
I want to be near you
Please let me be near you
Please.

Shit a brick, WithTeethbabe, that's pretty intense.

Why do you pour all of this intense emotion into Brainmeta?
WithTeethBabe
Because I want people to take my poetry seriously
even though people around me don't.
+Steven Curtis Lance
Everyone deserves to have their poetry taken seriously, my friend and fellow poet, and I want to assure you that I do indeed take your poetry seriously. I always read, but usually don't say anything, since usually the poem speaks for itself and there is nothing I could say to cause what was said to be better said; the idea of "explaining" or "clarifying" a poem is absurd: a poem is a poem, is other than talk; "es ist was es ist," a thing-in-itself. A roshi told me once that "the greatest poem is silence"; in any case, often the best critique is a thoughtful reading.

I have been thinking a lot about your answer, posted above, and I want you to know that I admire your strength very much. Write on! I see you do what you do because you must, just as I do; we did not so much choose to be poets as we were chosen, perhaps even beaten into it by bitter experience. In any case, poetry is therapy to me, and I suspect to you as well, since I see that you really are a poet.

Respect and solidarity to you! Hold your head high, poet.

Thankyou Steve. Poetry is like therapy to me, I guess poetry to some just
takes away the pain they are living.
