CHASING REFLECTIONS
Wk4 To Breathe Underwater
Before you continue, this week’s instalment of Chasing Reflections includes explicit erotic and sexual writing. Poetry and prose written from inside real moments of lust, desire and longing.
These are not imagined scenarios.
They are not abstract exercises.
They are pieces I wrote for someone, while I was in the energy of wanting - in the body, in the ache, in the charge.
What follows is intimate.
It is personal.
And it is intentionally honest about the erotic undercurrent that often lives beneath longing.
This work isn’t here to arouse you for entertainment.
It’s here to tell the truth about what desire actually asks of us…. emotionally, somatically, relationally, when we let ourselves go deep.
If erotic and sexual material isn’t something you want to sit with right now, please take care of yourself and pause here.

More poetic.
More erotic.
More exacting.
Not to shock, but because some truths about desire can only be reached through the body.
Read slowly.
And notice what tightens and what exhales.
This is the descent, not the mastery. The moment before you learn whether depth will drown you, or teach you how to stay…
