Elasticity

When guilt collides with my pleasure and pain is too hard to measure Escape is the elastic tether that accompanies my sensual physical bender Tock tick tock my emotional drop for a second hands feel time stop Flipping out as I body flop liking being on the bottom her bouncing on top surrounding my need with her hunger spot Brown eyes Black hair I love touching her everywhere especially there I enjoy drowning while being fully aware My eyes reveal my selfish while in that moment I don’t care It feels like my sad is no longer there as at her beauty I ravenously stare She helps me feed my need as I release my seed In that moment a feeling of ecstasy my illusion of being freed I catch my breath feeling my thoughts begin to bleed. It seems even my sweetie can’t unearth this weed. Deep down I know what I truly need. A small note to explain the last line. During times of stress I am inclined to use physical aspects of our relationship to help silence my inner turmoil. At those times I would do better to look to God to calm my spirit. The physical can only temporarily satiate me.

I can see so much of myself in this! Thank you for writing something that so many of us can relate to. I also feel the exhaustion from going on the loop of immediate pleasure, and then I know the only place I should look is UP. Your final comment after the poem is so true! Keep writing!

Passionate and personal, too, the sadness runs beneath, like water under flame, very compelling-

Very emotionally deep Richard, but for me, I realize I've never planted a mustard seed; mine has always happily been a weed.

Full of emotions Richard-- your poem takes us there where humans find relief--even if temporary. Like the turn in the ending.

Touching, feeling and being sexual with your partner can give enormous peace and bring calmness - God sanctions this and made us so. - I love how you showed us your wonderful soul Richard. Blessings, Jennifer.

There is healing in a good sexual bonding of body and mind. However, the ending also rings true. True healing is beyond that and comes from a higher power though He Himself has instituted sexual union for healing. Lovely write. Blessings.

Cool poem, Richard. a man's point of view so well expressed here. I like Arturo's comment "sexual healing" If it works for ya, go for it!! (thanks for explaining that last line because I WAS kind of scratching my head on that one)

Well it's what we do Richard, it's a pity it can't last forever. So true is the saying, as you get older, use it or lose it. Tom

Intimacy has a way of blocking out all thoughts of negativity and so inspires the soul to deal with what is inevitable. A very sensuous and honest piece from you my friend I can relate to. xxoo
