Lubritorium
She came and wept
came again, then crumbled
flayed senseless
by tongue, tail and cane
then she twitched gratitude

cheers, Soul
I think my choice of title has thrown the poem to disarray. me being lazy again. I'll sort it out in a bit, maybe add some lines onto it for a bit more clarity
appreciate your thoughts, good fellow

Although the title would suggest that the piece is about a car, I think it could be applied to humans in a sexual and/or restorative way.
The third line could be read into on many levels in metaphorical ways, such as tail also being like tale as in lies..this one is rather cryptic to me but it adds to the piece in a clever way. I really like the mystery in this one because it is almost mocking, as though claiming to be simple in its complexity. Great work
Thanks for the read
Keep shining :)

I’m not 100% sold on the title (a new word I happened upon somewhere) so I may change it again. that said, you’re ridin’ the same wavelengths so perhaps it’ll suffice
thanks for dropping by, Mikki. your thoughts are appreciated

Dark? What's wrong with "Erotic"? :)
I think it can only be taken at face value, so as a filthy, rotten sex poem.

..but the title! :)
don’t you think (assuming you are right) placing a poem in erotica might be counter productive in a sense (probably not the right word). if a poem is erotic then the label is redundant anyway ..or some such argument :)

The title is sex, too, man. I mean it could be about a car or sex, and poets hate cars. Fuckin' detest 'em. :)
Sex is a dark act, anyway. One of the very few things we've continued from our hunched ancestors.

I like this very much, Eamonn. While it is short, the sadness of the satisfaction her soul receives from pain comes through.

that’s pretty much it in a nutshell. well it was the thought that I tried to translate bar the sadness. and why I figured the dark genre would be the one.
great to see you knocking about, good fellow and thank you for your time and thoughts

Re: Lubritorium
read this many times..n yes cryptic though, what I could get n feel is the realm of immense pain that those whatever craziness follows almost involuntarily proves her a release, though could sense self-destructive darkness n ofcourse whynot, shades of eroticism as well. the title reminds me of a remedial solace , as also eroic in the other sense.. #juz my thots, tks fr this read n cheerz fr the short format, bold effort Lep!

that’s a nice in-depth analysis into the mechanics of the scene. another less spoken analysis might be that the twitching gratitude may be because an ordeal is over.
thanks most much for dropping by, delving into the words and leaving your brain-print

A bit like an extract from 50 Shades, only a touch more literate... Reminds me of a line in a Stephen King novella: ""Especially those. Would you like to come, Darcy?"
She came. And she came on their wedding night, too. Not terribly often after that, but now and then. Often enough to consider herself normal and fulfilled."

I like the title Craic makes me think of a place androdenous androids go, doled out a pitance at a time of course.
My sainty however can not be verified.

I like your thinking, Mr Moon
and I have long since questioned your sanity, I've concluded it's right up there with the best of them.

I'm confused as to if the title changed before I got here... Or it has been misconstrued completely.
DON'T change it! It's perfect!
Besides why do only cars have to go to a place to be lubricated. Everything and everyone who needs a bit of the ol' petroleum jelly would pitch up at the "house of lube"
Nice piece dude, that third line changes the entire piece. It also does that for the frame of mind when reading. It's perfectly dark and humorous today :)

That was pretty small, but it actually had a meaning to something as I read it anyway. I find this more than dark, though haha. Credits to you, good sir!

Ahhh, CraicDealer, luv ~ :-*
Mercy! This one is rather breathtaking. And, incredibly torrid. Transcendent as well, luv... :-* How remarkable this one is, but then that's how it should be, Sir, ne c'est pas?

breathtaking, torrid and transcendent are words I would associate with this poem also, and luck too
I saw a blind man read a description of a lady, then sculpt a bust to the image he'd conjured. it turned out very close to her actual image
