Orgasmatron

I need to believe, I need to believe, I need to believe in something, 
I need to believe in something real, I need to believe in something 
more substantial than merely a destination; 
I 
need 
you 
to
believe, 
I need you to believe in something real. I need you to believe in me, 
the way that I believe in you. I want you, I need you in a such a way 
that you still remain yourself, always changing; I need you to believe 
in something more substantial than merely a destination; 
I need us to believe together, that when all has been said and done, 
everything starts all over again, 
and 
again -

only __v_ matters; nothing but __v_ matters....

....matters, mind over matter -- fiddlehead ferns unfurl just as galaxies do, 
locate the truth within the patterns. All and nothing; 
nothing is something somewhere else. All and nothing, nothing and all, 
all and nothing, nothing or all, all or nothing, nothing or all; within and without, 
without and within the patterns expand outwards within -- it is about 
numbers and dimension, dimension and numbers, numbers and dimension; 
when all has been said and done, only ____ matters.

Don't over-think it, let your thoughts go, let yourself flow, 
breathe, breathe, breathe in, breathe out-in-out-in-out-out-in-in-out-in-out 

in               out                                       in                                            out, 

in deeply -- I feel the heat every time that we meet, every time that we meet, 
I feel the heat. _______ beyond the borders, painting outside of the lines, 
losing control to gain control --

lose control, to gain control
lose control, to gain control

to give in, give it up, send it away,
unleash the bondage of pretending,
for IT to come back again

and again and again and again and again and again and again.

I feel the maddening heat course through my veins, every time that we meet; 
every time we meet, the maddening heat courses through my being

in the purity of the moment; it is in the purity of the moment 
that 
I 
believe 
in 
something 
again, 
believe in something far more substantial than merely a destination --
the journey, wake up to the journey; believe how in the end, 
the end is merely an illusion bringing us back to the beginning again....

....and only ____ matters, and only ____ matters.

    Nope! If an auto- proclaimed free verse poem taste like a prose poem is just because it's not a Free Verse poem. You can call it Hybridization of open verse and prose... or a "new style" but...no, a free verse does not need to use consistent meter patterns, rhyme, or any other musical pattern...but has to follow the rhythm of natural speech...if not, it's an essay! LOL!

    It wasn't 'Orgasmatron' for me to read but I agree a journey without substance is not really living.

    Yeah, I don't have expectations of everyone enjoying my poetry. As long a one or two people enjoy my poems, I am more than happy. Either way, thank you for reading this poem. Btw - yes, a journey without substance is not really living, but I was actually getting at something else as well with the whole journey/destination aspect.

    An 'orgasmic' splurge of emotion! Intricate...moving... Terry (& good message!)

    Without believing in each other, you have all of nothing, so only____ matters! I don't drink, but the cleverness of the back n forth is intoxicating, and orgasmic!

    well Chris there is plenty of climax here, within the poem, which of course is more than a destination.. love your 'purity of the moment' I like this it takes me on a journey, not quiet sure if it's a sexual one, more of survival!!!!!!!!!
