lure of cheap sex
I’m sorry, I don’t understand. if a man provides his woman
with a good home, if he respects & loves her, & all he
requires in return is that she spends her nights with him,
so that he is not alone & hurt, & has the service & the heat
of her body in his bed, is that a selfish demand?
what tormenting mistress is this, who seeks other men, not
because they are more fashionable, have a sharper wit & a
serpentine tongue that submits to the sordid cunnilingus
that she craves, but merely because they are other men.
she has seduction in her eyes & fire in her heart, & there is
no god in heaven or hell that she bows to.
she’s drawn to clubs where the downbeat fondles her with
the hedonist rush of tribal drums & hot-wired guitars, &
every dance is a slam dance. barbarians in leather & metal
bracelets mark her exhibited skin with abrasive fingers, &
she wears those marks like Pictish tattoos. she spins like a
slutty ballerina in the vapid air of spice & smoke.
other girls give her dirty looks as the jokers who pay for her
drinks are anointed with lipstick smears. every star in the sky
falls before she’s ready to slip out of her heels, & the night
doesn’t end till she’s kissed the devil’s lips in the back of a
pimped Cadillac.
I love you, with no excuse for it nor enough whiskey to burn
it out, & when you get home, I will punish you…
or I will give you up.
(Art: Willy Ronis)

I doubt that she deserves you John. Still might be a lot of fun if and when she gets home. I'll settle for cheap sex but I've always paid a high price, not being one to resist the lure. Just reel me in.

sincere raw yet eloquent ..first 3 words that come to mind...your words have such a vividness to them that leaves some deep imprints..and that last stanza dropped like an anvil..
"I love you, with no excuse for it nor enough whiskey to burn
it out, & when you get home, I will punish you…
or I will give you up." ...
umph!!
'nuff said
powerful write indeed!!!

Some are addicted to the lure of new flesh no matter the cost...even if it means losing the one waiting for you at home...an honest, exquisitely written poem JohnFeddeler....

ooh baby laying down the law and rightfully so.
I think there can be many underlying issues when people feel entitled to have more than one person who is fully devoted to them.
But, it takes a whole lot of patience to love a 'selfish' person like that.

God, I wish I had someone to take care of me right now, sir. For once. I can only stay strong for so long...
Beautiful words, as always.

Re. lure of cheap sex
First off ... Love the artwork, as always your artistic choices compliment your work brilliantly ...
Secondly, I'll play devil's advocate to some of the comments ...
Why is it when we read (or write) about the conquest of men they're called "rogues" - "bad boys" - "Don Juans" ... (As the old saying goes: a man can be forgiven ANYTHING, except a dead woman or a live boy ...)
Yet a woman who explores her sexuality to the fullest - despite having the foundations of a complete home ... is often called a "slut" or "whore" ... ? Why? ... Why the doube standard? (rhetorical)
Remember the George Clooney movie, "Up in the Air" ... ?

Mister Feddeler, there's nothing twenty feet of good rope & a flogger can't fix...
"I love you, with no excuse for it nor enough whiskey to burn
it out, & when you get home, I will punish you…
or I will give you up."
^^^
... sometimes a man's just gotta put his foot down because women don't always factor the cost
xoxox

An excellent meditation on freedom of the soul. Free to love and free to leave. If that is what our soul is inclined to do.

Sometimes people are addicted to the forbidden thrills as much as they are rebellious behaviour. Addicted being the key word...

Sordid cunnilingus. Maybe thats the problem. But by any account these words find you, and make you feel. Honest. I dig it. 💋
