The Poetry Contributions: Pain and Pleasure.
This section of The NV-P Blog contains poetry from the many submissions I have been honored to receive over the last month and a half via emails. They span a wide range of emotions, and their lack of, from several perspectives. Unlike like stories and comments, these convey captured thoughts that undoubtedly mattered to their authors, and hopefully, will catch an audience by them that experience and gain knowledge through their abstract nature.
I have one of my own placed here. Having written over three hundred poems since the twelfth grade, I felt obligated to throw mine into the mix. I will use an alias. I do not wish for credit in this regard.
I have written poetry since I took a creative writing class in high school: Lincoln West, Cleveland Ohio, grad of 1981. I thank a great man that inspired me as well constantly encouraged me to continue and hammer out thoughts onto paper. To put the mind onto black and white and let others sort it out. Art with Words, he called it.
Huge thanks to teacher/mentor, Mr. Merhaut. He opened a door in my life, and mind, that never closed.
If he is still alive, and reads this, I am sorry for the time I punched out and knocked the idiot headfirst into the blackboard for putting gum into my long hair. I only saw red. Then I made the dickhead see red when he came to. Looking back, it wasn’t called assault then, for that I am truly grateful.
Your comment? “write me either a short, highly detailed story or a vivid poem of what you saw versus what you did.”
I gave him both.
I served two detentions for laying that fucker out. Sure, he was much bigger than I, by about a 8 inches in height and 100 lbs in weight. It was his largeness that made a fool of him.
I also got about 4 dates as a result of girls offering to show me how to get gum out of hair without massive chops at it.
Mr. Norman Merhaut: I cannot thank you enough.
Into the breach we voyage, with either eagerness or loathing, let us go forth.

Wanting you:
So bold, so kind,
You took me to place
Of splendid pleasure as our bodies
Twisted
Contorted
Voices screaming
In divine ecstasy
Later shrieks of agony
As you burned my wings
And used me in a way
I so loved and hated losing
I gave you money
Trying to hold onto you like an addict needing
Never ending fixes
I took you into my body
Getting wet with the thought of you
Hours before we
Touched
Connected
Sweaty in writhing passion
You used me
And I miss you still,
Evelyn Masters-Perry

And you paid for the gas:
You took me for the fastest of rides
As I climbed into your car,
Trees passing by in a blur
Speeding through the parks
Of huge trees,
Flashing sunlight thru their breaks
Blinding me so completely
The brightest of greens
Radiant sunlight through new born leaves
Vibrant shades of contrasting colors
Miles clicking as minds get closer
You took me into your body
I took you into my soul
Heat so devastating
California brush fire
Wiping out all rational thoughts
You clamped yourself around me
Tighter and tighter you gripped me
Finger nails tearing into my flesh
Blood trickling down my flanks
Sensations so complete
We came in unison
Laying sweaty and smiling
I left you the next morning
To never called you back,
Keith Wakeman-Guiffria 1994

I, too, have teeth:
He trashed my gentle being
They thought he was good 4-me
Best friends wanting to make
My train wreck appear before them
To laugh and talk about it
Later over drinks
High-end Black Russians
White Russians
Baileys Irish Crème Coffees
Some friends they were
They knew what he was
Psychopath man about town
Sacrificing me to him
Just because he fed them drinks
Fed their addictions
As they indulged his
With me.
I have something waiting
These friends never to see
Things heading for their lives
I am now bitch
I too have teeth.

Lost in your eyes, lies and your thighs:
You came on like the zephyr winds
Caught my sails
Blowing me somewhere
Taking me for a tonsil ride
Allowing me to do
Go
And shoot
You swallowed
So lost in your eyes
Lies
And your thighs
I gave you everything
You asked,
I gave
You suggested
I gave
You asked me to fuck you like no other
I gave
Was trapped
Perversions of sex
Better than the best
Nocturnal emissions
With Hollywood stars
No comparison to you
Blank checks
Debit cards and pin
To keep you by my side
I blew off friends of decades
Family paled in no time
You kept sucking me
By mouth and cunt
Faking noises of fulfillment
Sucking me
And I
Gave
Gave
Craved more and more
Lost in your eyes, lies and your thighs
Building me up
Asking for help
Telling me I was your best
Gas bill is due
Huge cock via text
How you cannot wait
Car payment is late
Meet me at Bayshire Cemetary
Love amongst the dead
Kinky
Mortgage is two months in arrears
I can help
And I did
So lost
In her eyes
Lies
And her thighs
She disappeared as fast as she came
As fast I had cum
I lost myself
Lost most of myself
Lost all who loved me
Counselor asked me
What would you do different
Not a damn thing
He said he could not help me
I left his office
Cold winter winds closed around me
So wanting one like her
So wishing to be sucked

I have a bullet with your name on it:
I fell for your bullshit
I fell for your lines
I fell
For you
So much talk
Flowers you gave
Sent them to me at work
You built your place
As coworkers were impressed
More blind than I
Cardboards friends I believed
I became so lost
Oceans beckoning my tiny boat
Further sunrises yet unseen
I’d follow your heading
To climax on distant shores
Took me to 5-stars
Made me a lady of desire
We’d coast
Rise rhythmically
Peak
Gasp desires fulfilled
Leaves changing color
Seasons pass
I am so asleep
Something grows within me
Test is positive
We’d talked of marriage
But you needed to right yourself
Financially
I helped you
When I told you of the dr’s visit
You left in 14 hours
I am about to have our child
You are gone
So coldly I look back
I should’ve known
I have a bullet with your name on it
Justification guides me
I gave you my savings
5 grand
Hopes of clearing you
Debts to be covered
So we could wed.
I bought a gun
One set of bullets
They carry your name

Welcome to the World:
I told you I would use you
I told you I could care less about your family and friends
I told you I’d suck you dry
Being drunk
You gave yourself to me
Because you could strut like
Animals on the Learning Channel
Sorry, dumbfuck
Just give me money
That’s what I want
Wear a strong rubber
I will take you
For everything you got
You so begged for more.
A blowjob
A latex barrier
Did you think that meant anything?
Thinking satisfied
Tossing spent cover out the window of brothers Camaro
Leaving drips on the glass
You went wet
I didn’t
But I sucked you
I used you as I said I would
A fool and his money
Sucked my clit honey
Took me into your mouth
A mouthful of my juices
My flavors
Moaning for more
You so took me into you
Never once thinking of tomorrows
Highest order of stiff cocked males
Dicks as brains that control you
Thinking of yourself first
Never thinking of yourself
In future stance
Defenseless
Your future is so limited now
time bomb growing within you
What part of rubber
You entered my pussy
Did you let your guard slip?
I gave you a present
Darling
When you took in my precious juices
Did you lose your mind?
I told you to put on a Trojan
You obliged so freely
But you went south
And sucked and licked me
I never asked you
I even said you shouldn’t
Welcome to the world of AIDS
Hope you got your bags packed…………….

AN: I believe these poems to be a good sample of what I have received thus far. They cover a vast range of human experience.
I will leave the critiques to you, the reader, to comment on them.
Those outside the USA, humble apologies, please use this as a guide/ help to make things easier on me.

LOL, yours was so easy to spot: Lost In Your Eyes, Lies and Your Thighs. 1998??? More like 1993 though. Not sure why i say this, though we have shared a great deal via emails.
ReplyDeleteTo me, you are easy to spot through my sense of you and your writing. I cannot be the only one that sees this.
As ever, William,
Yours,
Abigail
