About the Author
PREFACE
Naked Soul: The Erotic Love Poems is a beautiful collection spanning a wealth of human emotions and dealing with the themes of love, romance, chase, seduction, and sensuality. The poems here cover topics ranging from spiritual love to ecstatic joy, from strong passion to sweet seduction, from first love sensations to a lover’s longing, from conservative and familiar love to inhibited erotic fantasies.
The words here are not just poetic but sublime, touching the heart, gently massaging it with visual imagery, metaphor, and emotionally explicit, innocent, intimate expressions.
Most of the books of erotic poetry available today are either too old or are big anthologies covering the same poets and poems. There is a lack of new and original work. Most of us have read something from Ovid, Sappho, Shakespeare, the ancient Greeks, the Romans, or from the Kama Sutra. But love is a theme that should be celebrated with freshness.
There is too much noise and stress out there in the world. Chances are if you are reading this book, you have an artist in you. You are a reader, and therefore a thinker, an observer, a living soul who wants more out of this human experience. The reader of these poems can relax while slowly reading, reflecting, and visualizing what it would be like to make love with his or her beloved (or a fantasy figure). This book is full of poems—everyday stories we can all relate to.
Poetry contains few words but tells much. Its beauty is that by being condensed it is rich in meaning and open to various interpretations. Unlike prose, there is no boundary to poetry. There is nothing concrete or black and white. Poetry is mutable; it is transformative. Poetry is the alchemy of hearts. And what cannot be said in prose can sometimes be only said through poetry. Poems are word paintings. Poetry doesn’t belong to time. That’s why often you feel as if poems are speaking directly to you.
This book’s theme is vast: romantic, sacred, symbolic, vivid, happy, lighthearted, and erotic. Some poems are very rhythmic while some are written in free verse. Any poetry lover who loves deep symbolism, storytelling, and musing over deep verses will find this book very touching. Read it slowly. Read a poem at a time, or two, or all, but give them time to sink into your heart. Read them again, read a portion, and stop and ponder. Visualize. Take it slow; let the poem show you what lies in your own heart. Let it fuel the words from within.
Let your heart speak its own poetry and feelings. Let your desire be touched by these words. Let these poems stir the passion in you. Once this passion is aroused and strengthened, you will live in the moment, fearing nothing, living for no one but your own soul and the duty that it has carried since the time of your birth. This book is all about getting in tune with our deepest, most intimate feelings.
Every soul needs a touch of erotic love. A deep, unconditional love is what every heart truly desires. True love is passionately erotic.
These are not ordinary poems. These are the expression of eros that cannot be said but still has to be said. You can sing it, but you cannot say it; you can dance to it, but you cannot explain it. You can see it in the poems even though I cannot show it to you by my words. Just feel the words because these poems are written not to be understood by the mind but to be felt by the heart.
These are love poems for every mood and sentimental feeling. No matter which phase of love you are growing in currently, this book will serve to sail you
further toward the endless ocean of love. May this collection add to our lives and enrich the depths of our relationships. May all of us be fully saturated by the all-consuming force of love.

BRIEF INTRODUCTION
Every poem is unique to each person who reads it.
Readers holding this book must know that what they possess in their hands is not an ordinary poetry book. This book is a deep poetic musing at the soul level. The love poems that you’ll read on the following pages possess the erotic spirit of humankind as old as language itself. The oeuvre and meaning of these poems is something we all share through our universal connectedness.
This book talks about love in many shades. Love is inherently erotic. The great Greek philosopher Plato once said, “Eros is the greatest creative force in the universe.” I cannot agree more. I believe eros dwells in our innermost being as the spirit of creative expression. To me, eros is a great path that we must walk, a song we listen to, a game that we hunt and enjoy, a lesson to learn, a garden where flowers bloom, a prodigious puzzle to solve, a book to read, a chapter to write, and an ocean to swim in. That’s what eros is to me.
Love is the true state of the human heart. When we love, we unguard our hearts. We open ourselves up to the world without any restraint. When passion flows, desires stir, our earthy senses become dull, and our ethereal self becomes illumined. At this stage, we are naked, totally naked, with little or no covering of ego.
Don’t learn love;
let love be what it is,
simply:
your light, the wings of your soul,
the cosmic force, the music of the heart.
Love flows in;
One does not choose to love.
Love is unique to each individual. Therefore the only way to speak about love is through poetry, since each poem is unique to each person who reads it. Through poetry we can glimpse the spirit of eros in its purest form. Poetry doesn’t have to obey all the rules of language and conventional style; therefore much can be communicated. Where language fails, an image painted by words speaks volumes.
To love someone for the whole life
Is not easy.
It requires deep commitment.
That’s why love is deep,
difficult,
thrilling.
Such thrills are worth experiencing—
They make life worth living,
and full of glee.
NAKED SOUL
THE EROTIC LOVE POEMS
A GARDEN OF LOVE
They search for atonement and find it not.
They dig into the esoteric texts,
memorize them,
but do not see the garden.
They miss
where the lovers are making love
in a great union of ecstasy.
They borrow ladders to put up
against the wall,
to peep into another world
to have a glance of such nakedness,
such passion.
The ladder breaks down,
the wall crumbles
under the heavy moans of lovers.
BOUND FOR ME
She comes and looks deep
into my eyes
Her beautiful, majestic eyes
mesmerizing me
There she stands on the doorpost
waiting for my move
I take her hand into my hand
pressing softly
She takes off her clothes gently
to the last piece
There she stands in all skin
in all her glory
She offers me a rope and
stretches her arm
She is bound for me
there she waits for me
Warm
Exhilarating
lifting each other
Blindfolded warriors in a field
fingers
tongue
soft lips
Our weapons of love
and our bodies
our shields
She satisfies me in ways
my words fail
I love her
SWEET ECSTASY
The ecstasy
exploded
within her.
She wanted to laugh,
to cry,
to scream out loud
At this perfect moment
of climax;
she was whole,
she was alive—
It no longer mattered
If her eyes were
open
or
closed.
JOURNEY OF LOVE
To all those who are love-sick:
Some cry, I want love; I need love!
I am loveless; pity on me;
Love me, love me, love me
PLEASE!
Oh dear, why don’t you see!
Your eyes are closed to it.
Love is a breeze:
It moves the trees, sometimes just the leaves.
It can create waves in the ocean.
Love is whimsical and deep.
What will you give to your lover?
Do you possess a moonstone or stardust?
Have you planted a thousand roses?
Have you mapped the earth
To take your lover
On a journey full of mirth?
No—
I don’t have a moonstone,
nor do I have stardust.
I am poor but have roses and flowers
in all colors.
I will be kind to her limbs.
I can fill her life with passion.
Her organs will thank mine.
Her eyes will peck at mine.
Her hairs I will brush,
Igniting the passion in her soul,
Her vale merging with my knoll,
A hummock
just for her pleasures,
ever waiting, ever desiring.
Your lover is there—
look, look, O young lover!
She is standing right behind you.
When will he make her an offer?
When will he be
on the horse
with a ring?
COME TO ME NAKED
Come when it’s quiet
I like your way of moving
Slip into my
stillness
silence me
She emerges
from her falling robe
I move closer and
whisper
let’s stay inside
lock the door
come to me naked
no one is here
It’s time for us
to become one
between the sheets
GO KISS HER
Go kiss her from her forehead to her feet
Let this poor heart
in you
become courageous
Look how lovely, how lovely she is
Now you are ready, my friend
now you know
You bring love with love
You make love with love
Love knows no desperation
Love knows no boundaries
no limitation
You have charted the earth well
on the surface of her skin
with your beloved by your side
hand in hand
lips to lips
to the glorious birth
of a new love
YOUR HANDS THAT I HOLD
Our souls, eternal companions
I will not let you wander anymore
My love, I am with you
Baby, every step that I tread
Is for us to come closer
Soul to soul
Your hands that I hold
I’ll leave no more
Let me look into your soul
as you kiss my lips
As you hold my hand, my love
Fin
gers clasped—breast to breast
Your breathing over my face
breath to breath—we are one
Your soul that intoxicates me
day and night
Is also my life force
Without your life in my life
I am nothing
Just as without me in your life
You are nothing
THIS BLESSED LOVE
With all odds
against us
Our heart in love
is always young
Believing the impossible
Keeping the faith
we made it
That’s destiny
Finally hugging you
kissing
deeply
A friend, a lover
my beloved
One human soul
who I trust utterly
This
blessed love
ETERNAL LOVE
I secretly loved you for so long
My love
You gave me new life
Your deep, dark eyes
Made me drunk on our first trip to the wilderness
I wandered everywhere to seek solace
All I found was your sweet love
Echoing from the mountains
The valleys, the rivers, the trees
Our love was not of this world
Yes, it was sent from the stars
In the remote corners of our memories
Don’t we still remember
being with one another
in a previous thousand lives?
I am not new to you
You are not new to me
I am here once again for you
Just as you came once again
calling my name
looking for that face
That heart that only beats for you
Do not ever leave me
We are two bodies but one soul
One cannot survive alone
How can we live without each other?
Love precedes all
We have come to this earth perhaps
after thousands of years
Languishing, waiting for our return
In my shadow, your shadow dances
We live to uplift one another
We live to just love
There is no ending in such love
Only new beginnings
Tears flow boundlessly
Such is the beauty of this passion
The moments that we have shared
Our glory, our taste, our smell
Your skin and mine
Indistinguishable
FLOWERING OF INNER SELF
An explosion of soul
