Hyde Out
"Sometimes you simply feel like letting go"
This Edward Hyde whispers
"Allow your id to flourish
And your libido will concur
Some impulses are pure
And not subject to the laws of men
Decorum being a suffocating joke"
Then Hyde is gone
His wake one of exuberance
Some remnant of decency and common sense
Leavened with thrills and wanton sexuality
The streets of London calling our name.

Thanks Ahavati. The photo's from the silent "Dr. Jeckyll and Mr. Hyde" starring John Barrymore. It's probably the first film version of the tale.

the libido will certainly concur with the Id, if you let it. I just remember what happened on the Forbidden Planet the last time someone left the id unchecked.

Jekyll and Hyde will always be my favourite of Stevenson's ... Maybe it actually just tops everything XD ... Love the word play in the title and the sense of understanding it was brilliant ... This is absalutly going on my reading list XD

We are all Jekylls...I wish I could be Hyde for a while sometimes. He has more fun. Good read Crowfly.

"Some impulses are pure And not subject to the laws of men"
this one gave me chills which has nothing to do with the storm raging outside

Rasputin used the same kind of approach. "Give in to your desires. Indulgence is freedom. Only by addressing sin can we understand it and hence purge it." "Sometimes bridges have to be crossed." The Fool of the Tarot, the 10 of cups, the World Egg, all twisted into a lever of "Follow your nature" is deliciously dangerous!
So if it's on your bucket list to go carousing with a middle-aged troubadour who runs parallel to you, but waaaay behind, come out to Seattle sometime. We'll Jekyll and Hyde through all the hot spots. You'd be an awesome light up the town companion, comrade crowfly!

Ahhh, crowfly, luv ~ :-*
Such a fascinating and horrifying, mayhap, concept - unleashing ourselves fully from constraint, all restraint.
Something in this thought reminds me of Nietzsche's overman concept... Hmmm... certainly, thoughts worth considered rumination and thoughtful discussion.
You write this so adeptly, concisely, adroitly. You have quite a masterful pen, luv. ;-*
