No; don't come so near
That you'll be one with me.
Don't!
True it is, that I
Am aflame with desire fierce,
My nights in dreams
With you are spent, and hours awake
Meandering away in erotic phantasm.
True, that in your ears,
My words of love ring true
And in my eyes aglow you see
The message you so want to read.
True, that your youthful heart
To my arms does you impel,
Your charms; sweet and tender so,
Crave the soothing balm of a lover's eye.
True, that in between your thighs,
In the sanctuary of cunt; divine wellspring
Of Ecstasy,
Man may plumb
The rapturous delights of sensuous being.
True too, that you in my arms
And me in yours; a twain in one,
Can seek and find, taste and know
The bliss of heavenly joy.
But don't! Don't come so near
That you and me be one,
For I, the son of Adam,
Asked, will say
"The Woman did give me
-- and I did eat!"

Anonymousabout 20 years agoI agree the wording is pleasurable, but I would like to see something happen in this poem beyond description. The ending was good in this but the rest I was thinking okay okay very nice, now what....
amansabout 20 years agoAn earlier comment would suggest your words need rephrasing in this poem. For my ear, the phrasing is lyrical and rolls one through the poem.
As to the conclusion: Is that defence? I'd love to hear more from you in this vain.
Angelineover 20 years agobut the turned-around phrasings hurt the flow--I love what this poem has to say and its progression, but I think an edit to make it sound like more natural speech would make it so much better. :)
Anonymousover 20 years agoblame it all on Eve..;) interesting poem, but I would reverse the words fierce and desire, it just sounds awkward the way it is, other than than, a few words could be deleted, but it' s a pretty good poem :rose:
