Click hereKneel for this devotion, cup your hands to hold
One half of the stuff of life, watch the conduit unfold
Breathe your prayer gently all along the raising length
Kiss the tip then open wide, surrender to its strength
Let you tongue be vines that crawl over the ancient tree
Entwined around the sacred trunk to set the spirit free
Taste the girth from side to side leave nothing unexplored
Let your spit become an echo of the blessing to be poured
Caress as if a penitent for the shriving that you seek
Beckon with your fingers draw the sceptre deep within
Withdraw and tighten fist on fist as the crisis nears its peak
Until the seed that quickens expends over your skin
The question is a fair one, and I'm personally am wary of end rhymes for their own sake. I've seen too much poetry that sacrifices meaning (poor), or rhythm (bad choice), or just tortures language to achieve a rhyme, to be a slave to it myself.
My preference is to rely more on rhythm, with the odd internal rhyme to manage pace. (High Tide, which is also posted on Literotica is a long but hopefully worthwhile example).
In this instance I was trying for something different. I wanted each couplet to stand alone as a moment, and the use of end rhyme was to close each couplet firmly, with no run on. Think of it as stop motion photography rather than a movie.
Thank you all for reading and commenting
that causes them to be dumped into rhyming couplets?
some profane significance i'm missing?
