Battle Rages Within

Erotic thoughts fill my head  
Stream out through my fingers  
Onto the pure white page  
Beautiful words? Or, inappropriate lurid stains?  
  
Is it wrong to find another female form alluring?  
Are not the sensual curves just as beautiful?  
The pleasure of consummated love as powerful?  
Have I no concept of propriety and self control?  
Is my true self awakened?  
   
As Smeagol cum Gollum  
I am racked with the pain of duplicity  
Seemingly destined to destroy what is precious  
The incessant battle rages on  
   
In another context    
She labels me a “sick son of a bitch”  
Words that tear at my soul  
One part cruel condemnation of a saintly mother  
The other truth  
   
Simple surrender is the answer  
Fighting for both sides becomes impossible  
A sacrifice must be made  
The “who am I?” question answered
