Mutual

the taunt, like a red cape in front of a bull,
slab of meat in the face of a caged tiger.

stay beguiling, Sealer, & hold back the night...

never hold back an orgasm
it  germinates a lack of confidence
in the guys ejaculation

Nice😃

As much as I tend to speak of rhyme and my love for it...I have to tell you when I was first beginning to write and caught up in the thoughts that poetry was reliant on rhyme, I came across a poem I can't remember...and strangely it was a poem that changed not only my mind but also my life. The poem itself wasn't important...that's why I can't recall it...what was important was the feeling it gave me and how raw and beautiful it was. It did not rhyme. That surprised me the most because I just loved it more than all the others that did. It gave me this feeling and made me never want to rhyme again. Things have balanced and settled down since then. I've realized there is beauty in both forms. But what I want to tell you is that after reading what you've written here...I felt that feeling as strong as fire again. Its been appx twenty years and your words just reminded me of something I wanted to remember. It may sound odd to a lot of people but I'm hoping maybe you get it. Reading your poem made me realize why I fell in love with literature and form and sound and everything poetic and good. Its just a beautifully crafted piece and girl...you got talent I could talk about for a thousand years...but I'd rather you be writing than reading. Thank you so much for sharing and please forgive my long comment. I guess I'm giddy haha ....:) wow

You create a great tone here that really makes this poem work.  All the little details you add create an amazing picture of what is going on.  I love the way you allow us to see both sides of this story.  The ending is perfect.  I love this piece.
