but that is a WAG on my part. Adios TK U MLJ LV NV

ARE YOU AWARE, ONE CAN SELF FLAGELATE THEMSELVE WITH PAIN FOR IT TO BECOME AN ORGASM OR A CLIMATIC EJACULATION. ....ie DO A BUNCH OF STANDING SIT UPS BY BENDING YOUR KNEES IN TO A SQUATTING. I KNOW THIS IMPERIALLY. RESPECTFULLY TK U MLJ LV NV

tazz317: Does it matter? One or the other, both? It's about pain becoming pleasure, becoming a release.

live4passion: thank you for the compliments. I think, however, that straightforward description is a strong point and was done purposefully. I think so much poetry (&prose) is written with overdone metaphors and there becomes so much obfuscation in the sound of pretty words strung together that the meaning gets lost.

Much of what I write has happened to me or someone I know, so I think the story telling deserves to be told and doesn't necessarily need to come with extra bells and whistles.

A pleasant read in spite of being predominantly straightforward descriptive.

These two lines though really stood out, the solitary metaphor in the entire poem.. And a rather good one

"Starbursts of pleasure and pain

Bloom like hothouse flowers"
