Richard Lamoureux Poet Verse

Permission

I want to touch her ebony skin
To luxuriate in the depth of her storm
Those dark brown eyes hypnotize me
granting me the courage to approach
Now I can participate in her masquerade 
For she binds my hands with golden suture
I have no fear of death or her instruments of pain
I long to feel her slice deep into my flesh
The sting of her whip peels back my opaque veneer
Beneath my skin a crimson passion flows
She drinks until I become intoxicated
I watch as she swallows my darkness
Only then does she grant me permission to touch her!

Funom Makama July 12, 2017 at 10:24 AM Excellent and profound. You have that unique skill of beating the peak. This is a wonderful stuff, always beating our expectation. Can wait to jump to your next page.

Lisa Ricci June 6, 2017 at 12:13 PM Hello Richard. You have quite the expression here. I very much enjoyed your title and how it fitted in with the last line. I consider that a nice poetic touch. This entry has strength and was well executed in its entirety. Good luck with the contest.

Freddie Robinson Jr. June 6, 2017 at 12:08 PM Whew! You went Skywalker dark on us w/this one, Richard. But I know the poetic force is w/you still. Lol! Very kinky undertones, but the dark love was felt in every line. Great write, raw and gritty. Keep shaking us up w/your pursuit of truth. Love always, bro.

Becca Teagan June 5, 2017 at 9:50 AM Wow, Rick, I love the way you did this, it's very good. I read your comments below, and first of all, I don't think you pushed the bounds of good taste at all, this is written in good taste! It pushes the bounds of deep dark feelings, which is awesome. Especially after reading your comment to Akkina, I see the deeper meaning within this. "I long to feel her slice deep into my flesh" - that is a great line, among many. Well done. Gosh I've missed reading your poems. Richard Lamoureux June 7, 2017 at 1:53 AM Thanks Becca, coming from you this means a lot. I'm glad you are reading my poems again. Hugs Rick.

Andrea Dietrich June 3, 2017 at 7:46 PM wow, this is such an amazing entry, Richard. I wish I could have redone my original poem to make it this tight. Once I realized I rhymed instead of used free verse, I had to do it all over again and could not recapture the same quality. This one HAS a great mood!! Richard Lamoureux June 4, 2017 at 7:19 AM Thanks Andrea, I'm pleased you like it.

Eileen Manassian June 2, 2017 at 10:40 AM Oh...my my my! LOVED this piece. :) Glad to have some time to read and write, dear. This is intoxicating. Richard Lamoureux June 3, 2017 at 7:39 AM Thanks.;0)

Scott Thirtyseven June 2, 2017 at 8:33 AM Ooh that really tantalises the senses. Best of luck in the contest. Richard Lamoureux June 3, 2017 at 7:39 AM A little luck couldn't hurt, thanks Scott.

Tim Smith May 31, 2017 at 11:42 AM Not your usual style but it oozes a dark seduction...best of luck Richard Lamoureux June 3, 2017 at 7:36 AM Thanks Tim. I'm not sure I have a usual style.

Darren White May 31, 2017 at 10:33 AM OOoooohhh, I love this! Dark and lovely and very suggestive :) Richard Lamoureux May 31, 2017 at 10:34 AM Thanks Darren.

Joanna Daniel May 31, 2017 at 9:47 AM Very deep, but written with good intentions, I see:) great work, Richard:) Richard Lamoureux May 31, 2017 at 10:34 AM Thanks Jo.

Akkina Downing May 31, 2017 at 8:56 AM Oh very deep and dark alright. And a little bit of naughtiness. ;) I enjoyed this very much, it left a mind thinking and smiling. Lol! Awesome piece, Rick :) Akkina Downing May 31, 2017 at 9:44 AM Oh wow! Ok, my respect. And I bid you good luck in the contest :) Richard Lamoureux May 31, 2017 at 9:21 AM Thanks Akkina, part of the message is an atonement for the slavery of African people. Until we know their pain and suffering we will not be granted the figurative right and permission to touch them in a meaningful way.

White Wolf May 31, 2017 at 7:51 AM Oh, I like this, Richard! Hurts so good! I'm sure this will do well in the contest! Best of luck to you mate Richard Lamoureux May 31, 2017 at 8:10 AM Thanks White Wolf. I think I might have pushed the bounds of good taste based on lack of response. Thanks for being one of the brave ones to comment.;0)
