The erotic part of life is not logical, or rather, it has a logic all its own. I don’t really know what to do with it all except to move through it as it comes. That was then, this is now. Then I was a philosopher, all disciplined, later an engineer, patient with the needs of the design, then a member of the club, playing on the team, and now, now I am transported with the presence of your scent.
Sometimes I lack courage.
What Holds Me Back
I am aware how
this is so messy, a herd
of cat-like desires.
If I were to touch
you right there, I fear you would
turn blue hot flame, sear
my soul from this near,
change me to a dry dead thing,
show me as I am.

Erotic part of life: well put, the part that gets us in trouble, always leads to change.
ReplyDeleteBut the logical life has it's downside too, even though there is stability, secured reputation, a safe place to stay, everything predictable, safe, can be pretty boring if the other parts not there.
There will be regrets on either side. You need both to feel good about a life.

Michelle, wv is really wierd sometimes. You get the same almost sensible retort out of it that you get out of using I Ching. I think it a hoot that you got that twice out of three times this visit. Word Ver is an oracle.
ReplyDeleteI am happy your new man is working out.
