Passion's Paradox

Tristan Robert Lange

Two lovers in the midst of passion’s throws
Could not foresee any of their dark woes.
 
Clutching together in sweaty embrace,
Two lovers are thrusting in passion’s throws—
Their breath and their motion a rhythmic verse—
 
The man is guided as he glides in—out.
Clasping together in timeless embrace,
The two lovers—grinding in passion’s throws—
Their shapes move together as though they’re one.
 
Breathing and moving in a rhythmic verse,
The woman guides his hard glide in and out.
Two ignorant lovers in passion’s throws
Grasping each other in sweaty embrace—
Shapes moving together, as though they’re one.
 
Two feed off each other as parasites
Breathing and moving in chaotic verse.
His guided, stiffened thrust scrapes in and out;
The broken ones are, in their carnal throws,
Ignoring the other’s need for embrace—
Though moving together, they are not one.
 
The two are in love with each other’s corpse—
Feeding off the other as parasites—
Breathing, moving in necrophilic verse.
His thrust doesn’t go smoothly in and out,
They ignore each other’s need for embrace.
Though fucking together, they are not one;
Two necrotic lovers in carnal woes.
 
Cold satin sheets line the black bed of death,
As two are lustful with their corpses.
They expire while in necrophilic verse—
The movement like sandpaper in and out,
Ignoring each other’s need for embrace—
They’re death’s consorts. Fucking, but never one,
Two necrotic lovers in carnal throws,
Did not foresee any of their dark woes.

    My word sir T you really are on good form lately .. and I am full of respect for you & your muse for daring to go where few have dared to go before .. Dark erotica is something I must explore further .. Neville

    • Tristan Robert Lange

      Thank you, Neville! Indeed, this one is "a bit" dark! Certainly, I am so glad that the poem delivered as erotica is not exactly my go-to genre. 🤣 Anyway, thank you so much for your time, your feedback, and the accolades, my friend. Always appreciated. I am humbled! 🌹👏

          Is 'revelatory cascade' a phrase one hears every day? As in 'There's a sentence/phrase/proverb/etc one doesn't hear every day'. lol.

          • Tristan Robert Lange

            Indeed, not every day...but more and more with increasing speed! 🤣 I am really having fun exploring the form. Thanks, Orchi, for your time and engagement, my friend!❤️🙏

            I probably shouldn't read this as it's 18+ but it was too striking to ignore. A haunting and powerful poem, nice read.

            • Tristan Robert Lange

              Lol! Yeah, this one goes there. Thank you, my friend, for taking a chance on it. I am glad it delivered and ended up worthwhile for you. I hope you have a great weekend. 🙏❤️

              • LP2187

                Ah yes it was a worthwhile read, have a good weekend too!

                This one turned from night's day to day's night. Bright and seductive to dark and destructive. A poem of opposites and duality yet more it speaks to two types of sex that of love and only self love giving and taking, the sharing and the selfish. A strong and powerful work.

                • Tristan Robert Lange

                  Thank you, so much, Soren. I always appreciate your time and your analysis. I am glad the poem delivered, albeit, I know this one went a bit dark and, well, weird! 🤣 Again, much appreciated! 🙏❤️

                • arqios

                  Even here there is a divide like gulfs that clash but never consummate, so near and yet so far! Brillig 🙏🏻👍🏻🕊

                  • Tristan Robert Lange

                    Thank you so much, my dear friend! I am humbled and glad the poem delivered! ❤️🙏

                    Tremendous work, my friend.

                    • Tristan Robert Lange

                      Thank you, Thomas! Much appreciated, my friend! ❤️🙏

                    • NinjaGirl

                      Dark and haunting I find commitment scarce.. it's much easier to have a sex partner than it is to have a "let's tackle life together" partner

                      • Tristan Robert Lange

                        Thank you dearest friend! Indeed, so true. I am glad that the poem delivered and I truly thank you for your time and feedback, as always! 🙏❤️
