Joy From Acts of Pleasure
Riding The Beast
Joy From Acts of Pleasure
Must I always pray for pleasure?
Then pay for deliverance with remorse?
Or rather, look for pleasure
With spontaneity?
Fuse with it, like truth and justice?
Mount it like a wild beast?
And ride it with poetic pain?

Verification wastes my time, and often doesn't work. I am going to stop commenting on pages that require verification one of these days.

Mount it like a wild beast and never let go….
Well that beast looks pretty uncomfortable so it must be, ride it with poetic pain! Intriguing post
Decisions decisions! Best to have fun and avoid analyising its source!
Hello.
I’m with Old Egg…sure does look like poetic pain to me (lol)
this gets to me very deep…such a vision i can see. another good one Tammi..
Life is what you make it – pleasure or pain (and of course the middle ground!)
I agree – mount it and never let it go!

an intriguing poem & also enjoyed the comments above..
Pleasure with no guilt, is the best kind. We should mount it spontaneously. Is it me, or did I read sexual undertones here? Ha.
When truth and justice meet the ild beast, there may indeed be pain as poetic justice! Quite intriguing!
What a wonderful poem… Being able to enjoy oneself and experiencing pleasure and happiness (without hurting others) is everyone’s right (no, perhaps responsibility!). No need to colour such an existence with guilt and remorse!
