I Am Desire.

Fay Slimm.

 

I am Desire,
that strenuous jailor whose nightly
visits leave victims
guility restless in lonely beds.

 

I, Desire, free readiness
by presenting visions of indulgent
abundance, I unbind
the notion of forbidden caresses.

 

Shaking lust over clandestine fruit
that ignores denial
I, Desire control flesh and blood
by awakening wishes,
then propose fancy as achievable
and invade any fortress
erected to misapplied rejection.

 

When I take the floor enthralment
drenches repression
with scent of self and emancipation
takes over control.

 

I am Desire and
no one denies my awesome ability
to rouse without fear of reprisal.

 

Despising restraint I enter hearts 
that unguarded swell
with an ache for sensual freedom 
never been known before


Note therefore that I, Desire fight
tooth and claw
to lead with clandestine nose-rings
those who persist in
voting for fetters as stronger than
draw toward liberation
passion's absolvement in release.

 

Oppose me and subjection will place
resolution as captive 
under chained lock and key.

 

I believe in being an ultimate winner
for I am Desire
and subjugate moves to check my
intention of extrication   
and when minds are set in resign 
this is a reminder

that I am forever invincible.

        A fine write Fay. Let's desire to write poems, and more will surely flow - or continue, if we've dried up a bit!

        No 'hot desires' now though! lol. I'm Chairperson of the: "Keeping-anything-remotely-hot-or-likely-to-cause-excitement-under-firm-control" Committee! I bet there's only me in the group! heehee.

              the last two words are the best.

              Wow! Wow! Wow! This is so desirable. Beautiful strong poem. A dangerous thing to deal with is that desire. Must be maintained leashed and released only on the limited doses when necessary. A hard one to rule though. It is what I call: to still the fire from the devil and make good use of it.

              • Fay Slimm.

                Thank you indeed for this generous comment - Am humbled that the read brought so much more about such a subject as sheer desire. Love that last line re the fire Mal. - Thanks again.
