same sex sexuality in poetry?

[ficosdarkness]

I don't do anything phallic at all
I like your point about an intimate love scene performed tastefully, regardless of the genders involved, being pleasing to the eye, if not in a sexual way. I remember watching a beautiful scene from Tipping the Velvet where two women make out and fondle each other on the floor before a roaring fire, and though it didn't arouse me it certainly warmed my heart.

My point exactly, Jack! Some beautiful paintings, sculptures and achitecture are very pleasing to the eye, some food pleasing to the pallat, movie's or song touch us in places and stir emotions in us that we may find pleasing to the eye and ear. I feel that writing goes a bit deeper because it forces us to go where the writer takes us, in our own minds,at times almost to the point of paticipation, differing in intesity but ultimately pleasing to our sences on a deeper level. That is why I enjoyed your poem so much. You took me there, I watched and I was very pleased with what I saw.
