poetic pause…
“Pain is filtered in a poem so that it becomes finally, in the end, pleasure.”
– Mark Strand
pleasure
Juicy Quote
“Fruit For Thought…”
“Our fear of death is like our fear that summer will be short, but when we have had our swing of pleasure,
our fill of fruit, and our swelter of heat, we say we have had our day.
“Fruit For Thought…”
“Physical pleasure is a sensual experience no different from pure seeing or the pure sensation with which a fine fruit fills the tongue; it is a great unending experience, which is given us, a knowing of the world, the fullness and the glory of all knowing. And not our acceptance of it is bad; the bad thing is that most people misuse and squander this experience and apply it as a stimulant at the tired spots of their lives and as distraction instead of a rallying toward exalted moments.”
“Envy” by Mitch Hicks
I want to be that horse
The smile you give as you mount and sit astride
Gripping thighs that press close and tight
Your hands that pat and stroke with care
A long hard ride brings pleasure and pain
Feeling the crop in your hand and my heart in your lap
Fields of freedom with pasture I graze
Envy at four legs…. well maybe
