Posting here, another Bop Poetry. This is in complete opposite voice of what I wrote in my last post. Do read that too, if you have not. I like the refrain thing in the Bop as it kind of makes the whole poem come out in a different way. Read the poem without the refrain and you will know what I mean. Next I will write Beat Poetry. Watch out this space!
****
in that wilderness of love
closed eyes picture you
musk smell gets to me
nailed to myself
my senses are alive
yet tranquility permeates
lost in you, your touch, my mind
boggles at different possibilities
beating into me
throb of our indistinguishable skin
I shake out of myself
anchoring into yours
even though you clutch
that vacuum you are so fond of
nothingness is something
in which you thrive
lost in you, your touch, my mind
boggles at different possibilities
skin have their own language
breath speak in silence
closed eyes meet
in the way only they know
cohesion of particles is inevitable
when souls submerge
lost in you, your touch, my mind
boggles at different possibilities

enjoyable read
I've never heard of Bop Poetry...I'm glad I discovered it on your blog. You did a wonderful job!
The essence of love. Your love poems are always so alive and sensuous, and this Bop form, which I had never heard of, suits it well. I agree about the refrain.
Very interesting.
Hey you are bopping again! It's really good.
I see this as love with a hint of quantum theory - and the probabilities are often similar :-)
Very nice.
Bop--a new kind of poem. Glad you introduced me to it...although I'm not sure I could have done as well as you. Very nice feel here.
I sometime do a poem with refrains, but I never knew there is a kind of poetry.
deep love feelings...
closed eyes meet
in the way only they know
cohesion of particles is inevitable
when souls submerge

loved this! very sexy poem. this bop thing sounds cool.
hello... hapi blogging... have a nice day! just visiting here....
Great rhythm...love the bop feel!
Sex and science in poetry. I wouldn't have thought to mix the two but you pulled it off beautifully. Wonderful use of language!
Bop poetry makes me think I should dance to it, though...
Never heard of this either but like what you have done. The refrain really makes this form stand out.
sensual in many ways
hmm...never knew there were so may types of poem. Good job :)
