...I just converted!!!
There is much in this poem that I like. The image that will stay with me for a bit is this:
"Confess baby confess you want me there
and this tongue you feel in fantasy will
surprise you with its living hunger."
I cannot promise that I won't one day steal "living hunger".
I will tell you.
Whatever you want to hear.
Whenever you want to hear it.
of a religious practice that some of us believe to be sacred. Don't get me wrong I like your poem but struggle with the religion thing
what makes you think this had anything to do with religion?
curious. I did not even think of the reference.
religion continued...
This just has me curious as to how many people get offended by content that is never intended, only interpreted. There are many uses for the word confession, I know of one religion who uses this in one way. When I think of confession, my mind does not go anywhere near church. It more or less goes to a courthouse, or in my every day life.. okay I confess, I ate the last cookie.
I think it is a good idea to speak to the person before you get offended.
If I want to mock religion, it will be much more clear than this. But I don't. Not today. I am too busy preparing Sunday's service. No lie.
I missed the point! Now I understand. Sorry about that. Thanks for clearing it up. I hope I did not offend you! I like the poem either way.
this is like religion and acid bebop fused together... Quite the trip, great poem..
is in the eye of the beholder, I saw no religion just a woman asking her lover does he have fantasies like she does. Each to his/her own I suppose.
My best wishes
I remember this poem as well. Your descriptions and imagery puts a reader there and makes them want to be the subject.
