Pleasurable Venom - by Erik Smith

return to Erik's poetry index

 

My pleasure is like pain
It's so damn good and so strong you will suppress it
Like it was traumatic
You'll get a taste of it and beg for more
Want to experience it just one more time
Over and over again

You will go to your job
Do everything you normally do
Clean your house and feed your pets
Read your e-mail and past regrets

Every second you spend
There will be this growing monster
Ringing your mental doorbell
Making you desire me
Bringing up mere feelings you experienced
Causing you to need me again

Somehow you will cause us to meet
Passion and lust will explode again
I will devour you for days on end
You will get lost on my plateau of ecstasy
And wake up at home feeling superb
Unable to figure out exactly how
