Gregory Richard Barden Poet Rhyme

Notes About The Poem

(I'll leave the photo up to interpretation, lol) ;-)

_____________________________________

ooh that hurt -

did you notice
     when you dig your nails, I cringe?

that strange look
     is not a smile, but a wince

I did let you
     when you wore that sexy fringe

but my back
     has been complaining ever since



just because
     I call you Baby when we love

doesn't mean
     that you can bite my lower lip

and I know
     you love to wear your leather glove

but my cheeks
     now show the bruises of your grip



so when you
     pull my hair, I'm apt to sneeze

and if you
     pinch my thigh, I'll throw a fit -
 
          (still ... )

I have one
     tiny secret, if you please ...

I'm starting
     to enjoy it ... (quite a bit).

Brandy Nicole August 28, 2018 at 1:11 PM Yes, there is pleasure in pain- when moments of ecstasy are involved. :) Being in control. I will say, it is something I enjoy. (Of course not in a bad way) There is something exciting about such playfulness. ~ Brandy Gregory Richard Barden August 30, 2018 at 10:23 PM Indeed, and well-said, my friend ... I'm so pleased you enjoyed this! :-) <3

Carole Duet August 26, 2018 at 1:41 PM LOL...this is priceless! Careful, Greg, those crazy dominatrices can get a little too wild. haha Great poem! and a FAV for sure Gregory Richard Barden August 27, 2018 at 12:46 AM LOL Thank you so much, Carole, I'm pleased you enjoyed it! I'm not really one for the dominatrix "type", but there is a fascination I have with the line between pain and pleasure, where that lies, and how that is such a fluid and different thing for each of us ... how that ambiguity and dichotomy plays into lovemaking and life in general. Blessings, my friend! :-) <3
