Body, remember not only how much you were loved, not only the beds on which you lay, but also those desires for you that glowed plainly in the eyes, and trembled in the voice—and some chance obstacle made futile. Now that all of them belong to the past, it almost seems as if you had yielded to those desires—how they glowed, remember, in the eyes gazing at you; how they trembled in the voice, for you, remember, body.” — “ Body Remember” by Constantine Cavafy A mere twenty-one syllables, and two lives illuminated! It seems the ailing dog, in all its debility, continues to own its responsibilities; it still aims to safeguard the household. And the poet, aging himself, marvels at the speed of time’s transformations: Surely just yesterday it was that this beloved creature’s energy was boundless. I wait the sweet annihilation of swift flesh. I make me stern against your charming strength. O haste annihilator, drawing into you my enchanting leaves” — “ Amores (VI)” by E.E. Cummings It was naked until it put on the “head / That once belonged to me”. The speaker sees himself doing things that he would normally never do and asks that those involved do not take offense.

Although Brooks is not generally associated with funny poetry, this piece certainly earns its place on this list. Ask any literary type who the best living poet is, and Heaney’s name will inevitably be in the mix. The winner of countless literary awards, including the 1995 Nobel Prize, he was called “the most important Irish poet since Yeats” by former Poet Laureate Robert Lowell. But Heaney is also known to sometimes write suggestively cheeky poetry as well. His poem Victorian Guitar includes the epigraph “Inscribed ‘Belonged to Louisa Catherine Coe before her marriage to John Charles Smith, March 1852’,” and features the following stanzas: If you want the touch of phallic symbols and ruminative musings in your sex poems, then here is a compilation of short seductive poems to spark the love in your relationship. Have a look! 1. Just Us Two You could have it made into a piece of personalised artwork (though you might want to hide this one from the kids and any visitors!), stash it away with their Valentine's gift, send it in a rude and naughty text, or even read it to them out loud (if you're brave enough). I am hypnotized. Sleepwalking to the rhythm of your words, Never wishing to wake.” — “ Hypnotized” by Michael FaudetThis poem benefits greatly from being read out loud due to the use of alliteration.
