outlawed is something that is simply
against the law
a crime
whot?
my tome speaks to the soul
and then some
it reaches far into the depths of Shangri-La
with words and impressions
far-fetched dreams and fanciful thoughts of her
between one and none
there gapes infinity
no one can fathom our desperation
when we are alone
hah! laugh and the world laughs with you
cry and you cry all . . . by . . . yo'self
we may be able to choose our sins
which can be as comforting as the aroma of a lover's sweat
but we can't select our consequences
but with her!
my goddess with a porn queen attitude
we make love urgently, hungrily
as though the world might end before we were finished
later . . .
as the spent sweat begins to dry on our nakedness
we talk
rather I talk as she watches
wringing meaning from every syllable
even the spaces between words
were bloated and pregnant with significance
or so she said . . .

Many thanks, Victoria, for your always nice comment. I'm still laughing to myself about your "Once Upon a Time." Really enjoyed that.

In the course of human events one could write volumes of books and expose the good and the bad.  Some parts for sure outlawed.

Excellent write, Jerry!

Good morning, JL, and thanks for the read and comments. Yep, we are what we are and we do what we do and then in old age we write about them. At least we do if we are poetical or literary inclined.
