1. Sea Poppies By H.D.

your stalk has caught root

among wet pebbles

and drift flung by the sea

and grated shells

and split conch-shells.

2. Basket Of Figs By Ellen Bass

Bring me your pain, love. Spread

it out like fine rugs, silk sashes,

warm eggs, cinnamon

and cloves in burlap sacks. Show me

3. Hum for the Bolt by Jamaal May

It could of course be silk. Fifty yards or so
of the next closest thing to water to the touch,
or it could just as easily be a shaft of  wood

crumpling a man struck between spaulder and helm.
But now, with the rain making a noisy erasure
of this town, it is the flash that arrives

and leaves at nearly the same moment. It’s what I want
to be in this moment, in this doorway,
because much as I’d love to be the silk-shimmer

against the curve of anyone’s arm,
as brutal and impeccable as it’d be to soar
from a crossbow with a whistle and have a man

switch off upon my arrival, it is nothing
compared to that moment when I eat the dark,
draw shadows in quick strokes across wall

and start a tongue counting
down to thunder. That counting that says,
I am this far. I am this close.

4. To His Mistress Going To Bed By John Donne

Come, Madam, come, all rest my powers defy,

Until I labour, I in labour lie.

The foe oft-times having the foe in sight,

Is tir’d with standing though he never fight.

Off with that girdle, like heaven’s Zone glistering,

But a far fairer world encompassing.

5. Come Slowly- Eden! by Emily Dickinson

Come slowly – Eden!
Lips unused to Thee –
Bashful – sip thy Jessamines –
As the fainting Bee –

Reaching late his flower,
Round her chamber hums –
Counts his nectars –
Enters – and is lost in Balms.

Pleasure Poems

6. He is more than a hero by Sappho

He is more than a hero
he is a god in my eyes–
the man who is allowed
to sit beside you — he

who listens intimately
to the sweet murmur of
your voice, the enticing

laughter that makes my own
heart beat fast. If I meet
you suddenly, I can’

speak — my tongue is broken;
a thin flame runs under
my skin; seeing nothing,

hearing only my own ears
drumming, I drip with sweat;
trembling shakes my body

and I turn paler than
dry grass. At such times
death isn’t far from me

7. Recreation By Audre Lorde

Touching you I catch midnight

as moon fires set in my throat

I love you flesh into blossom

I made you

and take you made

into me.

8. Fill Me

Take me down
feed the flame
find me wanting
find my frown
turn it sideways
upside down

Take me round
feed my need
find me craving
fill my hunger
fill my need
turn me outside
into inside
fill me gently
with your hunger

Take me down
feel my need
fill me roughly
take me down
fill me roundly
Just…

don’t make me
bleed…

9. Assurance By Emma Lazarus

Last night I slept, and when I woke her kiss

Still floated on my lips. For we had strayed

Together in my dream, through some dim glade,

Where the shy moonbeams scarce dared light our bliss.

Sexy Poetry

10. Lust By Yusef Komunyakaa

Words, juicy as passionfruit

On her tongue. He’d do anything,

Would dance three days & nights

To make the most terrible gods

11. The Encounter By Louise Glück

You came to the side of the bed

and sat staring at me.

Then you kissed me—I felt

hot wax on my forehead.

I wanted it to leave a mark:

that’s how I knew I loved you.

Yearning Poems

12. Love Sonnet Xi By Pablo Neruda

I crave your mouth, your voice, your hair.

Silent and starving, I prowl through the streets.

Bread does not nourish me, dawn disrupts me, all day

I hunt for the liquid measure of your steps.

I hunger for your sleek laugh,

your hands the color of a savage harvest,

hunger for the pale stones of your fingernails,

I want to eat your skin like a whole almond.

13. Play with me…

Give me your fire
make me burn
turn me to ash
let us turn
wood to coals
fire
to ash

Give me you
like I do too
fill me hotter
build the bonfire
shower sparks
let us shine
as we ignite

Give me heat
give me flames
give me lust
give me pain
feed me need
feel this drenched
drowning desire

Find the way
fill the need
feed the hunger
come here
and let’s play…

Finding the best sexual poetry can be challenging because everyone has different interests and likes. The news is great.
