Red Satin Blues
You lost your soul
writhing in my bed,
we were seventeen
in a sex-scented heaven
between my sheets.
The only heaven
you’ll ever know.
I’m pre-marital sex,
birth control pills,
a third sin,
I forget what.
Every Sunday you went
to hear a priest rant,
I stayed home
thinking about
you beneath me.
At least I’m honest,
the avowed atheist,
I never hid my rebellion
beneath red satin panties
and rosary beads.

Not quite enough bliss for my taste. But that's what happens when you have parents around.

First off, one does not go to a collection of erotic poems and complain about sexual themes.
Second, what's wrong with pornographic poetry at any rate?
