Dental Helmet Poem by ONElia AVElar

Dental Helmet

Rating: 3.0


Smiling lips in my front
Shiny enamel of teeth
I think about my tongue,
if they should ever meet -
my tongue and your teeth?

Can i kiss you smiling?
Tooth enamel is shining
and so distracting me...
I heard it should be
the hardest part
of the human body...

What if it faces the softest,
boneless part of me;
what are the odds of
my supple tongue`s velvet
against your shiny
dental helmet...

How many obstacles between two kissing mouths! Not, only a few.

Wonderful concept with a wild surreal beauty all of its own...lips speak of kissing and speak with kisses. So sensual in its thought processs and such a unique way of being aware of someone and the about to be about to happen. Wonderful..wonderful...wonderful! love Donall Donall

hahah wow, what a great display of images...i've never seen one analyze the teeth so well. But i sense in the closing lines that this is a metaphor for how a heart can be broken as well, as if teeth were to cut tongue when locking. This one is great, I wish I had thought of it.10/10

A different type of poem, but not exotic. Tasty to read and 10 for that.

Onelia! I love this sexy poem! With your usual subtlety you write simultaneously directly and tangentially about the sensations of the longed-for kiss and the relationship that it would stem from. Brilliant imaginative work! x Jan

One, I think that is how a dentist looks at kiss, And a heartfelt love its expression miss. Like the lovers on the Grecian Urn, Perpetual bliss in their minds churn. lol

I read this a while ago...didn't realize I didn't comment....wonderful movement from the hard 'technical' imagery to the sensual...I could visualize the kiss...or hope thereof...Coach
