Richard Lamoureux Poet Monorhyme

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.

J.R. Wren-Ingalls March 24, 2020 at 6:39 PM 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!

Jeff Connelly March 14, 2020 at 1:32 PM Very emotionally deep Richard, but for me, I realize I've never planted a mustard seed; mine has always happily been a weed. Richard Lamoureux March 15, 2020 at 12:16 AM One persons weed is another’s flower. ;0)

Eileen Manassian March 13, 2020 at 2:25 PM 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. Richard Lamoureux March 14, 2020 at 8:32 AM Very true, hugs Rick.
