Love and Rape = Lust


Love And Rape

All her buttons
and her shapes,
her eyes are shadows behind
her hair that drapes,
and I feel how it scrapes
at the back of my mind
her switches that flick

on and off, on and off

and it sticks
in my mind,
it never escapes.

The art of rape
for the innocent heart,
made easy in twelve quick steps:
The one who departs
with his love for loving accepts
it in his heart;
that the way love rapes
is considered a loyal art.

The art of love and rape.

I recall her buttons
and her shapes,
burning her eyes like stars behind
her hair that drapes,
and i feel how that scrapes
at the back of my mind
as I flick the switches

on and off, on and off

and she sticks
in your mind
and never escapes.

It's the art of love and rape

It's the art of love and rape

For phyllis, I interpreted the term, 'rape' in mean, the all powerful nature of love, that it strips us of all defence and takes it's pleasure, no matter how we may try to fight it off. I agree, 'Rape' is a henous crime against freedom of choice, in the context of a sexual interaction with another human being.

Hope that helps clarify this beautiful poem. Lust drives sensationally.

Smiling at you

Maybe its my age, my culter, and personal experiences. But I cannot connect rape with love at all. It has nothing but the most negative of connotations connected to it. The only type of love I can put with rape and get lust is self love. But even that seems wrong. I think a person who commits rape doesn't really even love themselves. But I do want to understand this, so please help me know how this piece came about and what it means to you. Thanks.

Eli The PoetBay support member heart!
These words bring to mind the idea that intent is no different from action. It is a very very clever piece of writing.

Thank You.

I think this might be my favourite poem of 2009 Aven black! I was affronted first of all by the title, signed out, but couldn't resist the read and sooooooooo glad I'm one of those 'couldn't resist' readers.

You have her in the glisten of your eye...gorgeous rhythm and rhyme, pure music infact, how you managed to bring these three together, is magnificent. And Lust, is the golden dust that starts the equation, or so I have heard!lol

thank you for this wonderful poem...I claim it first!

Smiling at you

Tai, off to press buttons in a dreamy sway sort of of milky way!lol
