Desire-

A Poem by Manuel John

lust's hypnotic song
in fervent whispers
seeking servile obedience.
“Please, give me chains”
-man’s latent lyrics, in tune.
His soon remorse;
a plightful penance
in laurel of a deal
- an abyss
beneath wreathed flowers
inlaid with illusions of fruits
-tender, yet forbidden.
Just a gentle kiss,
shortly, a fiery gratification
-vivid and sharp to sense,
then desire seeks an embrace
-trouble’s warm embrace.
The melody changes
to a cloud filled passage
that is forte and ambient;
a gloomy coming awaits.
Best anticipate the dynamics
when desire knocks.

Honey, I sense a heck of a lot of guilt here, or do I read it wrong?
A dear friend of mine once said to a friend of his who was gay and hiding in the closet (it was the '60s), "Any time two people share love, that has to be a good thing".
I think he was right, don't you?
If we weren't meant to enjoy sex, God wouldn't have made it to feel so good if He didn't want us to enjoy it...right? Love and Peace, Angel
