Too much exertion in trying to grasp

An essence so deeply rooted in elusive

Contractions and expansions with weight

So deep that it pulls me limb by limb and

As I fight against it my body still, even now

Yearns for the coupling, the entwining, the joy

Of absolute abandon, and sensual torrents in the

Muddied mind of your saddened, dark being

Conveying emotions through word images is something I have long loved. I describe it as word-painting, sometimes Impressionistic like Monet and sometimes bold and obtuse like Picasso.

    ” … the joy of absolute abandon … ” Lovely, Cher. So much conveyed with so few words.
