I've Never Had It Done So Gently Before

The sweet juices of your mouth
are like castles bathed in honey.
I've never had it done so gently before.
You have put a circle of castles
around my penis and you swirl them
like sunlight on the wings of birds.

    Sounds like the first taste of oral gratification, or the first time of sexual fornication or at least the first time where pleasure seemed to be the main option of content. I am sure, by the title and by the poem itself, that it wasn't a 'virgin' arena at all.

    Yeah, I am thinking it's gratification of oral pleasure. And on that note I find it to be quite sensual.

    A good piece that Brautigan has written here.

    A gentle and touching eroticism...not like some of the harsher things done by other beat poets. I love Richard Brautigan. He is my number one influence. A genius in every sense of the word. More people should read his work. I guess I should be happy that he is so unknown, since it enables me to write my things without fear of someone suddenly thinking I am plagiarising (which I am not.) I am so glad to find his work here and I will visit it often for inspiration and for the sheer pleasure of it. Anybody else out there who loves Brautigan is invited to give me a shout. I will be very happy to hear from you and to read some of your work.
