The 10 Best Sexy Sex Poems To Turn You And Your Partner On
1. "To A Dark Moses" by Lucille Clifton
You are the one
I am lit for.
Come with your rod
that twists
and is a serpent.
I am the bush.
I am burning
I am not consumed.
2. "Sea Poppies" by H. D.
Amber husk
fluted with gold,
fruit on the sand
marked with a rich grain,
treasure
spilled near the shrub-pines
to bleach on the boulders:
your stalk has caught root
among wet pebbles
and drift flung by the sea
and grated shells
and split conch-shells.
Beautiful, wide-spread,
fire upon leaf,
what meadow yields
so fragrant a leaf
as your bright leaf?
3. "Arrival" by William Carlos Williams
And yet one arrives somehow,
finds himself loosening the hooks of
her dress
in a strange bedroom—
feels the autumn
dropping its silk and linen leaves
about her ankles.
The tawdry veined body emerges
twisted upon itself
like a winter wind...
4. "Wild Nights" by Emily Dickinson
Wild nights - Wild nights!
Were I with thee
Wild nights should be
Our luxury!
Futile - the winds -
To a Heart in port -
Done with the Compass -
Done with the Chart!
Rowing in Eden -
Ah - the Sea!
Might I but moor - tonight -
In thee!
5. "After Making Love In Winter" by Sharon Olds
At first I cannot even have a sheet on me,
anything at all is painful,
a plate of iron laid down on my nerves,
I lie there in the air as if flying rapidly without moving,
and slowly I cool off—hot,
warm, cool, cold, icy,
till the skin all over my body is ice
except at those points our bodies touch like
blooms of fire. Around the door
loose in its frame, and around the transom, the
light from the hall burns in straight lines and
casts up narrow beams on the ceiling, a
figure throwing up its arms for joy.
In the mirror, the angles of the room are calm, it is the
hour when you can see that the angle itself is blessed,
and the dark globes of the chandelier,
suspended in the mirror, are motionless—I can
feel my ovaries deep in my body, I
gaze at the silvery bulbs, maybe I am
looking at my ovaries, it is
clear everything I look at is real
and good. We have come to the end of questions,
you run your palm, warm, large,
dry, back along my face over and
over, over and over, like God
putting the finishing touches on, before
sending me down to be born.
6. "XVII" by E. E. Cummings
Lady, I will touch you with my mind.
Touch you and touch and touch
until you give
me suddenly a smile, shyly obscene
7. "Sultry Sunday" by L. M.
Calloused fingertips
trace the silhouettes
of smooth, contrasting thighs.
They navigation rounded hips
with familiar fascination.
Inhalations whisper of longing.
The breaths catch...
while fingers orchestrate
an exhaled symphony of moans.
8. "Inside" by A. A.
I wrote poems inside of her
with my fingers.
Our story began
with her scream.
And ended with her soul
on my lips.
9. "Erotica" by S. T. P.
I made love to her on paper.
and spilled ink like passion across the sheets.
I caressed her curves in every love letter.
I kissed up and down her thighs in short sentences and prose.
I tasted all her innocence, without a spoken word.
I bit her lip and pulled her hair, in between the lines.
I made her arch her back and scream,
it only took a pen.
10. Untitled poem by Sahith Shetty
Graze your fingers
against my skin
like a soldier
crossing a landmine
throw your kisses
like grenades
into the trenches
of my mouth
carve bullet holes
onto my chest
and remind me
of where it hurts
let your moans
sound like gunfire
and your breath
feel like death
i'll come
unarmed
if you promise
to destroy me
make war
not love
