By Benjamin Grossman & Bree Leto
There’s no denying the sweetness
When we share the body
Of a poem
Your words make my ink blush
Our fingers stroking the same lines
A teasing exchange of sugared phrases
Awakening our entwined imaginations
Every time we devour
Each other’s souls
Savoring new flavors
Created from our intimate flow
When we write like this
I need more than just letters
There’s something brewing beyond this sweet ink
Let’s put down these pens
Write on our bodies instead
Please, make sure you check out her blog by visiting Secret Thoughts Within. I can’t say enough good things about her as poet and a person. Her writing is intelligent, clever, funny, diverse, thoughtful, and passionate. A mixture of depth and pure beauty. Also, she can read a poem like no other. Truly her talent flies off the page and stays with you!

i saw this on ST’s site, and as I said, this is so beautiful and a great collab..
Super!!! Thanks again! Appreciate you taking your time to read and comment! ST’s a true poetical magician. She probably won’t say it … so I’ll have to say it for her.
Oh you both are..😊😊😊
Thanks again 🙂
Thanks Ben, so fun to write with you and get up to some poetry mischief. Keep shining brightly my friend 🌠
You’re welcome. Yeah, we’re the poetry rebels; I dig this. Likewise. Keep lighting up the future!
IT. IS. A. GREAT.COLLAB.
I loved this poem very much! Made me go all giddy-giddy.
Lovely poem! Keep it up!
Thanks!!!! Such a lovely comment. Had to smile 🙂
Welcomeee :))))
I love the poem, it’s such a fun and mischievous read😄
Thanks a lot, a lot, a lot! Never underestimate the power of fun! 🙂
Enjoyed the poem on ST’s blog. She is fantabulous indeed.
Awesome collaboration.
Thanks so much, Kritika!!!
Welcome Ben 🙂
She is … she really is! Thanks!!!
Welcome 🙂
Dear Benjamin, I feel hot! This is too good for words. I love it.
Have to copy your masterpiece (collaboration!) and keep it close.

Thank you, Joanna. That’s some praise. Words can really stir up emotions in us. That is why they say the pen is mightier than the sword, perhaps.
Very good 👍🏻
Nice! Glad you thought so! 🙂
I enjoyed this all the more the second time after reading it on Bree’s blog.
As I said there, this was a brilliant collaboration. You’re both just so talented it makes for super charged poetry!! 🖤🖤
That’s awesome to hear. It was very exciting working with her! She knows how to build a poem! Truly, truly, thanks again! 🙂
You’re more than welcome my friend 😁 Keep them coming! 🖤
Will do!!!! 🖤 🙂 You as well!
👍🖤
Wow – that is a beautiful poem (and an excellent collaboration). Such lovely phraseology. 🙂
Thanks, and sorry for the delayed reply. Phraseology: what a good word! 🙂
That took an unexpected turn at the end! 😀 Lovely collaboration. I love ink blush / intimate flow and the last two lines: Let’s put down these pens / write on our bodies instead ❤
Some say there is nothing like a good twist. Thanks a lot for your words. They mean so much to me. It’s always cool to see the lines that readers pick out. Glad to know you thought those parts worked, especially coming from your keen poetic eye. Have a fantastic rest of your weekend! ❤
You are most welcome, Ben 🙂 Yes, I agree, I enjoy a good twist. Have a fantastic weekend too, my friend ❤
“Awakening our entwined imaginations” – that’s an amazing line!!!! This whole piece is spectacular!!! I love the flow you guys created here…it’s deep, fun, full of love, little mystery and effortlessly beautiful!!! Excellent collaboration!!! I absolutely love it, truly!!! Much love, Ben 🖤🖤🤗
Thanks, I also really like that line. Might be my favorite part of it all. Always nice to see such thoughtful and generous comments. I really appreciate your support. Serious thanks. All love!!! 🙂 🖤
Hmmm very enticing. Good one guys! Look forward to reading more of your collabs!
Thanks so much, Cassa!!!! There might be a few more in the future with any luck.
Yay! Can’t wait!
A beautiful and a sweet poem man. Both amazing poetic minds working together 💯💯
Working with her was a poet’s delight. Thanks, my friend, for your kindness. 🙂
Beautiful 🙂
Thanks lots and lots, Simmi. Awesome to hear other’s thought on this collab. 🙂
You’re most welcome 😊
Oh, the sweet power of words! So playful, both naughty and nice. Kudos to you both 🙂
Thanks, Chris. Always nice to try something new, and work with someone who challenges you to be better than your best. Bree’s extraordinary; I got lucky to share a page with her.
Ahh… that’s delicious Benjamin. Some respite from all the mayhem around. Loved it.
Yes, a bit of escapism. It’s needed at times. Lots of thanks!
An excellent and engaging collaboration!👏👏👏
Thanks 🙏🏻. It was sweet and fun writing this but it also took some hard work. Glad you liked it! 🙂
You’re welcome.
These are the best kind of writing!
This was just beautiful… Loved it!! ❤️😍🤗💫
So cool. Thank you, Diana. So appreciate your thoughts on this one!
Great collab, you two, love it 💓
Thank you, Rishika! 🙂 Have a great week!
You too 😀😊
Really cool – congrats on a very successful collab!
Thanks so much. It was inspiring working with her as I’m sure you know. You two also turn out great collabs. Have a beautiful Monday!
She’s inspiring indeed. Thank you Ben! Have a beautiful Monday too 🙂
Beautiful.
Thanks, Jude!
A pleasure.
Love your poems and the fun and humor on it
That means a lot! Special thanks to you!
Thank you for your replies too
Wow – familiar poetic territory, taken to the next level, in a delectably sweet way. I love the romantic idea of writing on the body. I still think of tattoos periodically… (Always wanted one, really :)) Impressive collaborating skills as always. Two talented poets. Love to both of you!! xoxo
I know what you mean. Tattoos have such deep meanings for many. Although I’ve never gotten one myself. I have thought of it before. But somehow I’m probably allergic since … I’m allergic to almost everything. Thanks for your wonderful thoughts. xoxo
Ah. 😅 Well, guess some of the best people are allergic to almost everything then. :)) Thanks for the kind reply! xoxo
Wow, sweetly & intimately erotic! Great job, Benjamin & Bree! 🌞
Thanks a lot! Loved working on this piece. Was a lot fun and cool to learn from her process of creating.
Well, shit. You both just created a blushing masterpiece. Absolutely love it!
So awesome to hear this!!! Thanks lots and lots. Really was interesting to see this piece come together! Bree is amazing, amazing!
