This villanelle is about manic-depressive hyper-sexuality, which is an ostensibly disturbing—and taboo—symptom of full-blown, bipolar mania that is little acknowledged by this puritan society and is therefore not openly discussed or recognized by the American public.
Lustful desires come when going manic:
it's an uncontrolled ejaculation!
(from this mania which feels fantastic)
Pelvis and loins afire and orgasmic,
and engorged with such climaxed sensation;
lustful desires come when going manic.
Eros peaks, then runs wild and Jurassic;
and hunts for racy gratification
(like this mania which feels fantastic!).
To burn with unrestrained lust is horrific;
but the intense flames of this condition
make coitus happen when going manic:
like being with a **** and sex addict,
or copulating with sweet abandon
(when this mania feels so fantastic!).
So, call it mad, or call it poetic;
but this disease becomes a damnation.
(Lustful desires come when going manic,
because this mania is so fantastic!?).
