TELLING SELF THE TRUTH
In Hamlet, Shakespeare wrote
this immortal line:
"To thine own self be true."
How many times have I,
you, and others secretly
wondered, had a desire, or
almost dared to experiment,
try, or engage in an enticing
erotic and sexual act?
We have been quick to
criticize, condemn, and argue
about how wrong a person is
for engaging in certain acts
or using specific language.
Why are we, some of us, afraid
to tell ourselves the truth?
Let's dare and stop this practice;
today let's claim the real self
and start telling self the truth.
Let's dare to take a step of liberation.
Meet me at the Kissing Place
and we'll share our hidden desires.
OKAY?

We can never deny the erotic side which drives us,do something unethical;,but some whims are narrowly personal and such intimacy cant be revealed to the public knowledge it would ruin its perpetrator.. Ethics are above our desire.
secretely done is a way of shyness. not insolence in my humble opinion,
""We are human beings after all''
thanks for this taboo topic.

Thanks for taking time to shed a broader light on the subject. I agree with you. Sometimes words have a way of limiting what we try to say. Hugs and peace, O
Alas ! words are still incapable and not just given the broader dimension to hold much of what we mean and try to carry thru them...
still are feelings never written and poetry never inspired..
but i rather prefer Nature to dictate its vocabulary to me, when i try to write..Nature is the truest Muse ever

A plea for the liberation of the erotic side and its vocabulary. I think Monovox summed it up well.
