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...

Such an interesting poem, I guess what I take from this is that a smile can bring us down in a thousand steps! It can light up our heart just by the very rays that emit from it. And the way you describe your velvet tongue, surely your muse had no chance of survival! LOL! Love it... HG: -) xx

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

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

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
