Brainiac

Brainiac
(for mature readers only)

 I want you to make love to me,
  starting with my brain;
  then the lovemaking will be so beautiful,
  we’ll do it over and over again.

The motions would be over
  only because we came;
  our bodies mixing so perfectly
  producing sweat and semen rains.

Even the act of just talking to you
  leaves me light and lifted.
If all the Lord did was  just invent you,
  He’d still be entirely as gifted.

I’m thinking about you right here and now
  like I’ve been all day
  wondering If I’ve been in your thoughts
  in some sizzling and sexy way.

My body oozes with desire
  because you intoxicate my mind.
A sexual adventure could await us,
  a spectacularly climactic time.

Your flirtations leave me warm and fuzzy,
  sometimes even smoking hot.
They’ve given me extreme confidence
  of your abilities to soothe my spot.

If we ever exchange orgasms,
  let us wait til we can’t wait no more.
Until we’re both so ripe and ready,
  we break the bed down to the floor.

Lovemaking may be on the horizon,
  and if yes is my final decision,
  just as you do for my mind,
  make my body your mission.

About "Brainiac"

     It's getting hot aside so I chose “Brainiac” as this week's featured poem to bring a little heat of my own Ha! Ha! Terrible jokes aside, I wrote “Brainiac” for a couple of reasons. First, it reflects a part of my evolution as a woman. Most of my love or relationship pieces until then were either overtly sexual, a love wish list, or gripes about my bad experiences. In “Brainiac”, I stress that mental and spiritual connections are the essential foundations for fulfilling and healthy relationships. Many of my earlier involvements had been built on sexual attraction and satisfaction. Raging hormones can diminish anyone's judgment. I don't knock myself for that because I've since grown, evolved, and learned better.
     A second reason is due to the spiritual nature of most of my poems. They discuss my relationship with God and my spiritual journey. A couple of my readers expressed shock or dismay that I include sexual pieces in my books right along with the spiritual ones. I do not shy away from sexuality in my writing because it is an important part of each of our beings. It has a tremendous influence on every aspect of our lives. I think the church too often ignores the impact that unfulfilling relationships have on our spirit. In contrast, when there is something not quite right with our spirits, we are more prone to making bad relationship choices. It can be a vicious cycle and is difficult cycle to break.
     The devil will do anything to get to us. That includes using the harmful remnants of our failed or unhappy romantic relationships to his advantage. He knows that many of us would rather suffer in silence than speak on our struggles. I'm not proposing that we tell everybody everything. I especially cherish my privacy. I just hope that the church as well as the broader society learns to discuss sexuality without judgment and fear. People need to know that God wants to hear about all their issues even the ones that make us uncomfortable.
