Perception

Your accommodating
smile forewarns me
Your syrupy disposition
nauseates me
Your experienced touch
makes my skin crawl

I note your heart's desire
to dominate, posses
I detect your tense anticipation
yearning to subjugate, to crush
I observe the barely restrained violence
in your need to humiliate, consume

I sustain your pleasure
as I cry, as I struggle
I bear your excitement
my fear, my hurt bring to you
I endure your satisfaction
in my inability to breathe

Your welcome is worn
my heart I take back
I am done with you
you have no place left in me
We are finally through
I will never look back

Very dramatic and picturesque.A person can interpret this poem in many ways. For me it is hearing you tell the devil to take a hike. I like your style of writing. Keep the imagination and the reality of your poems flowing. Good works

Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
