Wanton? (January 2014)

 


It is wanton

To want it

To want others

To want you,

To want them,

To find joy

In physical pleasures

Bodies colliding bring,

The smashing of atoms,

The chain reaction

We feel deep inside

Ourselves in an

Act of love

(as they call it)

That is more than love,

Needing not to be more

Than just a moment

In time when

We feel it,

Embrace it,

Wanting to be wanton,

Because at times

That’s all there is,

The touching and

Being touched,

The unlocking of doors

That lead to joy.

Is it wonton,

Or is it what we need

To sustain ourselves

In a world where

There is so little else

To pleasure us?
