Demetrios Trifiatis Poet Free verse

Sensuality

Oh sensuality, you
Siren of irresistible bodily pleasures 
That
Enchant the hearts of humans with promises of
Untold gratification 
While 
Leaving their souls craving for a caress
Of divinity’s bliss,

Why don’t you,
Cease for a moment, your insatiable
Carnal desires
For
To liberate Man from the chains of
Errant appetites
Thus
Allowing him, the delights of the enlightened spirit, 
For once to enjoy?

Harry Horsman October 16, 2014 at 2:55 PM like the way you have written this, different and refreshing... Demetrios Trifiatis October 17, 2014 at 5:37 AM Thank you my friend, Harry, for your kind visit and comment! Sometimes, I have to write differently so someone may read what I write! Ha-ha!

Richard Lamoureux October 16, 2014 at 2:37 PM Many seek the spiritual through the physical and are left wanting. I wonder if it is the spirit or the body that craves physical union. I enjoyed this piece Demetrios. Demetrios Trifiatis October 17, 2014 at 5:35 AM Well, my friend I think you know the answer. However, with the union of body and spirit there is an inter-independence of the two therefore one should not be indifferent of the needs of the other but we must keep a balance and give to each what it needs at the time it needs it and at the degree it should be! Thank you for visiting and commenting, dear Richard.

Eileen Manassian October 15, 2014 at 4:17 AM I agree with Dr Upma...It never ceases...At least not for some! ;) Lovely write....the enlightened spirits heightens the sensual mind...Or am I mistaken, my dear poet? Eileen Manassian October 15, 2014 at 4:42 AM Errant appetites...that's what got us in this mess...the original sin. Yes, my dear poet. You have set me right. Thank you! :) I also agree with Dr Trifiatis!~!~! Demetrios Trifiatis October 15, 2014 at 4:38 AM Yes, it is good to agree with Dr. Upma, for you agree with me when I say "Why don’t you, Cease for a moment, your insatiable Carnal desires.." The priority is the enlightened spirit that certainly , as you say, heightens the sensual mind but the new sensuality is now guided away from its "errant appetites!" Thank you Eileen for visiting and graciously commenting in such a unique way!

Dr. Upma A. Sharma October 15, 2014 at 2:39 AM True Demetrios it never caeses for a moment! loved ur wonderful write my friend! Demetrios Trifiatis October 15, 2014 at 4:41 AM Yes, Dr. Upma, it is an endless war between mind and matter and unless we come to a harmonious coexistence of the two, Man will suffer! Thank you so much for your kind visit and comment! I cherish it!
