Once Thoroughly Skilled In The Language Of Lust

and not seen since
a horse and a woman
of course
so big
mine not even close
but besides that
what?
in his beating heart
what?
the unbearable delight
the same
trembling flesh entering Paradise
and agony later, if corruption seeps in.
Ah!
that magnificent stallion
manifesting the universal maneuver
all beings were born into
but I tell you
from the bottom of my heart
I want only
the serene camaraderie of distant stars
and their unimaginable burning
in eternal fire
until the final act of creation
collapses into a black hole
sucking both memory and revelation
into absolute gravity
and now the naked woman
flashes her Technicolor breasts
the horse high and ready for the next scene
don’t want to see it
not anymore
the Buddha sad
I ever sought such desire
or any desire.

It is not the Buddha making judgments about desire but our inner need to live up to his beaming and joyous detachment. A fine poem. Hugh
