Touch Me...

Six strangers sipping Sangria
Sharing smiles
Suppressing sorrow
Handsome faces
Masking hidden hurt
Sanguine expressions
Aching for confession
…Suppression
Leading to depression
Pain shared is often
Pain lessened
Love is offered…
Unsure how to accept it
It’s rejected

…Don’t touch me!

Quest for normalcy
Thru what some define as intimacy
…Endless
Wishing to end this
Madness
Eternal sadness
Soul reads
Tales of lost innocence
Of a childhood tainted..
Vision of tomorrow
Painted
In an invisible hue
Only wishing to live life
Golden
Feeling so incomplete
If only they can retrieve
That which was stolen

Yes.. touch me…

Queens
Unaware of their royal bloodline
Sacrifice self worth
Seeking it.
In search of a heavenly kiss
Thru orgasmic bliss
Her
Him
Them
Mighty kings
Desperate for a crown
When no validation
For manhood was found
Saw many sisters to satisfy
Others
Looked down..
…Low
Manly bravado
Cries for help
In sweet falsetto

If only they could Let Go

Freedom
Sweet freedom
To live unburdened by life’s chains
Cleansed of the stains of sin
That remain after years
Of emotional build up
Pleading to be healed
True self
Revealed
Praying a God of light
Can see in the dark
And search the broken heart
Caress the twisted contours
Of an injured soul
Only thru union
With the Divine
Does one truly become …

My friend, you just wrote what I call "A Grand slice of life"..
It is almost epic in it's depth..
"Caress the twisted contours
Of an injured soul
Only thru union
With the Divine
Does one truly become �

A familiar case of orgasmic envy unaware of the many faces from before. “Aching for confession ...Suppression Leading to depression Pain shared is often Pain lessened Love is offered...Unsure how to accept it It's rejected”....Preach on!

Wow...this is extremely intense! I love every line of it. The rejections, expressions, depressions...ANXIETIES OF LIFE. The poem flowed so beautifully. My favorite part by far was:

In search of a heavenly kiss
Thru orgasmic bliss
Her
Him
Them
Mighty kings
Desperate for a crown
When no validation
For manhood was found
Saw many sisters to satisfy
Others
Looked down...
And my favorite word in the midst of this clever and inspirational piece was: FREEDOM! This word is so powerful, but only do some know that it will never be found on this side of the world. Excellent read!
