Beautiful poems ...

I first came across Samuel as @semaphore over in twitter.  He was tweeting out the lines of his poems and they were just extraordinary.

Sometimes I think we all need something beautiful?

Take a break and read some of his?

I'm going to be making a blogroll here of some writers to follow...

What does Erotica sound like?

One of the most erotic films I've ever seen is "The English Patient."  The love scenes in that film "flare" on the page.  Even in the trailer you get a sense of that fire.

Many many people are too literary to watch pornography.  I don't because there is no appeal in it for me?

I'd rather read something beautifully written and allow my own head to make the pictures for me.  That is what Literary Erotica is all about.

Quality.

Because the people who are writing that can also write poetry.

The man who wrote the film "The English Patient."  Listen to this poem in youtube: The Cinnamon Peeler's Wife."  This is exquisite erotica.

Beautiful.

xxoo!

I just made a new author website for myself -- last night.  It should be up in a day or two?

Pretty exciting!

See what you think?

Literary Erotica as candybox!

If you've read any classic erotica you know it's like a candybox of text.  Each story has a center and it's like a sampler.  All of them have different flavors?

Not unlike this picture...

So, what is inside?

That's what the reader finds out.  I like to write short stories and poetry in this genre.  Erotica can contain "love" as a theme, or not.  I've written both and sometimes I like to write morality tales.

Oftentimes we use a lot of metaphor on the literary end of the spectrum to convey something.

So, here is a poem I wrote once, called "candyboxes."

Most Literary Erotica is non-explicit because it is written in a poetic style.   Can you call it erotic?  Yes.  This kind of erotica is meant to paint a picture in the reader's mind.

I'm going to be linking to some classic books and art as I go along because there are so many wonderful writers I know.

That was my Valentine candy!

I like it elegant?

xxoo!
