On God Complexes and you.
shakeit

About a lover.
About a friend.



About a girl.


I love it when you're lying
 1
 
 
naked underneath me, and I'm just drinking
 2
[you in.]
 3
 
 
All those things
 4
I love, just the way I love them,
 5
exposed all at once,
 6
only for me.
 7
 
 
I lean up, hover over you,
 8
and I'm admiring
 9
this form.  
 10
 
 
Those tired but lit up eyes, that smile,
 11
and that heart caged,
 12
[in those ribs, and it beats for me]
 13
 
 
it beats for us.
 14
 
 
 
 
It's not about sex.
 15
 
 
It's about me admiring you, admiring me.
 16
It's about me loving you, loving me.
 17
 
 
Nothing between us but this skin.  It's about the way that you against me [against you] makes me feel
 18
 
 
Deep down in the deep, deep depths of..
 19
 
 
Somewhere I don't know a word for,
 20
[because it's too deep.]
 21
But I feel it there.
 22
 
 
 
 
The way your kiss electrifies everything
 23
inside of me and I ignite.
 24
 
 
 
 
I watched you walk away.
 25
 
 
I couldn't help but think of the times I've been walked away from.
 26
You swore it would be different, this time.
 27
 
 
Couldn't help but think about the form under the cloth
 28
as you walked away
 29
 
 
for the third time in my life.

oh yea, fav.

I must say:
I saw the title and then read the poem and feel slightly disappointed.
I'm even more disappointed that this is regarded as one of PC's top rated.
Not to belittle this poem, but it's far from the best.
Personally I'm tired of all of the "it's about..." stuff.
I want you to SHOW me what it's about. SHOW me what this love -- not sex -- is all about. Stop telling me. Or at least, balance the two.
Also the brackets in places seem arbitrary or unneeded or are sometimes confusing.
Were I to rate it, I would give this maybe a six. It's sligtlhy better than average.
 — unknown

agree with above, the title pretends the poem is something it's not
 — marieF

Good.
Very good, in fact.
But the end could use some work.
And I agree, the title kinda sucks.
Actually, the title is great, but the poem has nothing to do with God complexes or anything of the sort.

It's always about sex.
 — unknown

actually, it does.


to hover over, is godlike.  to watch over, is godlike.

to be the only one to have seen that part of her-- to me, that was godlike.
 — shakeit

hmmm what is happening to the quality of the top-rated stuff on this site? again, so so average...
 — modern_nomad

I really like this! there are many poems on the top rated list that deserve to be there jsut because people ENJOY them!  we can all like whatever the hell we want, oh average one.
 — unknown

ok shakeit. you are right, i should substantiate my "average" comment. the problem is I advise or constructively criticize when i have something to work with... here i can't find myself wanting to keep anything.....
"its not about sex".... are you kidding me?
 — modern_nomad

"to hover over, is godlike.  to watch over, is godlike.

to be the only one to have seen that part of her-- to me, that was godlike."

So, using your logic, an eagle, hawk or vulcher, helicopter, plane or other who hovers over something, an object or place is a god or godlike?

A mother, teacher, mentor who watches over her (or his) child or student, or a security guard who watches over his terrority, so to speak, is a god or godlike?

or a doctor, looking at an x-ray of a young girl, he being the only one to have ever seen this part of her, is a god or godlike?




Um. No. This poem fails and the title is poor-choosing.
 — unknown

way to hide behind your unkown alias, you fucking coward.


and, no, your examples aren't godlike.

they're completely different than my poem, my example.
