Poem

Instructions


Is bliss, then, such concupiscence as this.
A savage lust for naught but a moment
A lone, solitary pleasure - dismissed,
By all, but you, my one true opponent

 

The bliss of the moment, to the ephemera.


I have touched the heaven of bliss.


And sighs, and laughter, in equal bliss.


And, as the worm in whom bliss grows, he too.


Is bliss, then, such concupiscence as this.


None of the above



A taste, a sight, so ephemeral,


Is nought, then, of bliss, such concupiscence as this.


A teeming feast of naught but pure ecstasy.


A savage lust for naught but a moment


I sat, as a man doth sit who loves,


None of the above



Of a lone, solitary pleasure


Of a tyrant's lust for power


And a symphony of cries


I slid my fingers through your hair


A wild fling of the flesh for a naive sex


None of the above



As a sham, by the elitist - and he


By an avalanche of a societal sham.


In a world of sanity, - resigned.


As a flimsy, naive notion;


With a lone, solitary dismay


None of the above



And snatched by the opponent.


Then we heard the cry of the opponent.


In the eyes of the opponent.


And then, the sly opponent.


And now we see our great opponent.


None of the above



As a fleeting, ephemeral - snuffed out.


As a lone, solitary pain - dismissed.


I sat in a lonesome room,


By the snares of society's repression.


By all, but you.


None of the above



Desire is a dangerous game.


Desire is a great enticement.


Desire is a thorn you can't snuff out.


Desire is a snare.


Desire is a thorn in the side of those who have it.


None of the above
