The Honey You Spill is my first erotic poetry collection—a space for feminine longing and the beauty of sensual expression.
We all carry longings we rarely voice—soft, tender, urgent whispers of desire that rise from deep within the heart and feed the body like honey aching to be spilled and shared.
This intensely intimate collection pulses with a deep hunger for passion, celebrating sensuality and sexuality as natural and profoundly human. Erotic poetry and literature stand as an integral part of art itself, honouring the courage it takes to give voice to such desire and to share this deeply personal expression.
What erotic means...
Root meaning: From the Greek eros (love, desire).
Erotic refers to desire or sensuality, especially as experienced through the body, the imagination, or intimacy between people.
In literature and art, it involves the stimulation of the senses and emotions (touch, sight, sound, scent, taste, memory, fantasy) in ways connected to longing, intimacy, and pleasure.
You won't find vulgar or obscene language here: Erotic doesn’t mean crude or smut—it can be subtle, poetically descriptive, artistic, symbolic, or even sacred.
What erotic is not...
Not just explicit sex: Erotic is not the same as pornographic. Pornography focuses on showing sex acts; eroticism is about the art of intimacy, the charge, tension, and atmosphere of desire.
Not purely physical: Erotic can be psychological, emotional, even spiritual. A glance, a word, a metaphor, or a memory can be erotic without nudity or sex.
Not the same as romantic: Romance can be sweet, tender, or affectionate with or without any sexual undertone. Erotic specifically engages with the moments of desire.
Erotic is deeply relational and personal—connected to trust, self-knowledge, body-awareness, and one’s own imagination and courage.
A sensual perspective on fantasies, emotions, and desires.
These poems present erotica as a path to both self-discovery and immense pleasure, inviting readers to explore their desires as a form of empowerment, satisfaction, and liberation.
It's more than physical—it's a poetic, intelligent, rhythmic language of the unconscious, a way for anyone to access genuine creative and sensual expression.
Through its imagery and emotional depth, erotica allows readers to embrace their fantasies and connect with the ecstatic, instinctual currents that beautifully shape human intimacy.
Sometimes, the things we keep hidden are the sweetest, most powerful, and most satisfying parts of ourselves.
This collection explores sensuality as an act of artistic creation and exploration, offering a wondrous space for women—and all readers—to imagine and embody their own longings and desires for intimate experiences.
In The Honey You Spill, the poems blend intimacy, desire, and self-discovery, and invite readers to open up to connecting with their most alive currents of passion and sensual energy.
Over the years, women’s literature—and especially erotic poetry—has grown in recognition, though it's still often overlooked, even misunderstood.
From the fragments of Sappho, to the explorations of Adrienne Rich and Anne Sexton, to the evocative prose of Anaïs Nin, women have long reclaimed desire as art and self-discovery.
In the past 20 years, poets such as Rupi Kaur, Nikita Gill, Linda France, and Kimiko Hahn have brought erotic and intimate poetry to wider recognition, also exploring longing, intimacy, and passion in ways that feel both urgent and relevant.
The Honey You Spill stands in conversation—past and present—continuing the lineage of women who dare to make longing, passion, and intimacy part of the acknowledged, respected and beautifully celebrated piece of our vast and precious literary landscape.
Again, this collection is not pornography or mere titillation—it is erotic poetry that elevates desire into art, weaving intimacy, imagination, and self-discovery, and appeals to appeals to sensual an sexual curiosity with artistic and psychological depth.
