AWWW!! What cute pics. THe one about the enema is hilarious lol Love the pic of yer doggie :)
I revamped this poem a bit to make it better :) Also, I changed the song. It's the one that inspired the poem. It was mostly the song and the concept of a male beast of burden that inspired me.
I'll put this here but as a general message, as well to the group. I put this here so that people outside the group can see it. My main ning group at http://gothiclit.ning.com has grown exponentially. You can all drop by and check it out. A coup...
Nice little post here about nature. I don't like to go after God's little critters either. I don't kill ants or anything anymore; when you think of it, its' truely unnecessary. When's that last time a regular ant harmed a person? I left a poem at...
Boy! I really like the way this one turned out! That balcony, the pic description says its for Romeo & Juliet.

Yep, this work inspired my poem :) As before in the past, your work inspires me. It's a cewl thing! I think I write more and a little better, actually, when we both interact here alot. The creative juices flowing thing. It's a nice feeling that th...
Very fluidic langauge in this work. I think that paragraph column format you use works well for your writes. Your writes read that way, the words flowing into each other. That format enforces someone reading the poem that way.

More About Me and My World
I am interested in many fields of endeavour now. My 4 passions are: writing, reading, astronomy, and music, in no particular order. Presently, I'm in my drumming phase, music wise, and I am rocketing out of a dry spell I had, writing wise, for 4 years. I have over 100 pages of poetry from that period. Reading wise, presently, I am reading primarily philosophy, and while I used to read almost nothing but fiction, I have switched predominantly to non fiction for a long time.

I am primarly writing love/erotic poetry now, ever since my poem here called "Embrace you" on July 10th. I wrote Metaphysical poetry before that, with a bit of gothic, and I hope to get back to some metaphysical musings again, and to write more Gothic poetry, and to step up my game, so to speak, in that particular genre of poetry.

I may do some short stories at some point, in the form of fairy tales and the like

Reading wise, I love gothic literature, and quality sci fi...I LOVE watching b grade horror/sci fi flicks though! :P

I have taken upon a few websites now. I administer another main ning group:

http://gothiclit.ning.com/profile/RobertM

I also have 5 subgroups at CTI:
http://creativethinkersintl.ning.com/group/gothicliterature

http://creativethinkersintl.ning.com/group/robsmusicroom
http://creativethinkersintl.ning.com/group/romanticpoetessandrobmscollaborationroom

I also have a poetry blog at http://www.lioncity.net/buddhism/blog/medicinerob/index.php?

and there is some of my poetry at my myspace page
http://blog.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=blog&Mytoken=BFED1F35-18C8-4C5D-B86247C4BF67F07250098626

and a bit at a buddhist site I used to go to:

http://www.lioncity.net/buddhism/blog/medicinerob/index.php?

I am playing along to music more and more with my instruments, and I hope to play in public soon, along with reciting some poetry, and becoming more active in my cities arts scene in general.

I love Kirtan (East Indian Devotional Chant). I don't believe in the deities, but the energy of it is very positive.

I have become a general spiritualist, but I follow much of the tenets of buddhism, in trying to apply those tenets to everyday life, especially rigthminfullness, lovingkindness, and right effort.

When I look into you

When I look into you,
I see nothing but the essence of loves surprise,
the surprise that left me to surmise,
that you love the all of me,
my body,
my heart,
my soul,
my warmth of love for you.

When I look into you,
I see the sadness in your eyes dissolve,
as the mystery of love is solved in a single shared exchange,
the twinkle of love if your eyes,
that responds to the shimmer in my eye.

When I look into you,
I see breadth,
I see depth,
I see the love you have for me,

I know

I know now...
that if you faded out existence to me,
that the only thing that would be set free,
is my capacity of yearn,
for I would grow to yearn for the day,
when my soul could reach the other side,
the mysterious curtain of death now set aside,
our souls dancing to the song of a new unsison,
with ours souls now forever side by side.

I know now..
that if I grew to a jealously over you,
it would only be out of care,
that the fear of losing you,
it would be the only motivation of my jealousies… Continue

I will hold you

I will hold you,
the way that you held me on that dark and dreary night,
when my soul had sunk,
and my mind grew drunk,
and my mind was set to bursting with grief,
like the heart that lay bursting in my chest,
waiting in behest,
for the loving arms of you.

I will kiss you,
the way that you kissed me,
when my lips were grown dry from lack of another lips moisture,
I will kiss you into the unlimate voyeurism,
that is the emergence of your soul watching,
while I make love to you.

I will love you,… Continue

The power of these words



I love you...
what a power these three words have,
in all facets of our sacred lives,
in all the sorrow,
all the joy,
and all the strife.

it was sent to wander to see,
the mystery of loves grace of power of eternity,

When I touched her

When I touched her,
I knew...
that she was the who was meant for me,
the one true spirit that was meant to be,
to fulfill the promise of my loves destiny.

When I touched her,
I could feel it,
the force flowing between us like intoxicating wine,
her voice,
her lips,
her hips,
her very essence to me tasting so divine.

When I touched her,
I felt more than her skin upon my skin,
I felt more than her lips upon my lips,
I felt more than my hips upon her hipsm
I felt the presence of her spirit,

Voices...

Voices of the unknown duet of loves choir,
voices wandering in the ether of vespers,
voices of two lovers,
dripped in the sweet sweat of love and desire.

in a shared and elevated dream,
they streamed through streams,
of mind streams dreams,

I will submit...
to the exlporation of me,
by your lurid feminine fascination,
the languid tasting of me with your lingering tounge,
who's silent words of domination,

my body's strirrings under the song of sexual stirrings of sensation,
now emerge in my bodies notes now sung.

Bondage

Body grows hard,

like stiff of riding crop,

of the minutes of the hours,
of dominances might.

as sonic gasps like whish of whip,

If I could ...

If I could love you,
the way that nature embraces the earth,
the way the sky is blessed by winds of mirth,
the whistle in my ears of the earths sacred worth,
would whistle through me utterly without behest;
I would feel a burst within my chest,
the rapidity of a heartbeat that is set to a rumic pace,
that beats a thousand miles a minute,
and yet it still goes beating on,
in the rhythmic beats of loves sonorous song,
this song that beats at a mysterious pace,
beyond the classifaction of any numbe… Continue

I will engage you,

of the verses exchanged,
between you and I,
strophes of sexual surrender,
verses of our bodies rendered,
my body will be...
your loves contender.

Eroticisms of poetics

I have presented this to you,
the might of my poetic pen,
this fountain of ink that bursts at your words touch,
an explosion of verses on your parchment,
that exlpodes with the desire of you to insert my words into your blank verses,
the verses of love that did not know they were incomplete,

I wish for you stroke my pen of poetics power,
with the yearn of your free verse,
the verse that grows adverse,
at the thought of not knowing the completness of me.

I saw sandy selling see saws by the seashore ROFL

I've been noticing that my poem "Her secret garden" has consistnetly been one my top looked at posts. I was just curious as to what makes it work for all those who have read it and enjoyed it.

A funny little fact, all. Did you know that when you google my full name, romantic poetry, you get some hits for poetess? LOL If you google robby baby, romantic poetry, you get MORE hits for her, almost all her! LOL I guess that says how much our stuffs been intertwined, eh? I believe it's most hits for the review(s) that have been used in one of her books, etc.
