(poem) She Was Good For My Writing
(xposted from FL)
I originally wrote something very like this shortly after losing my virginity. Having talked so much recently about how engaging in a long term D/s relationship felt so much like losing my virginity all over again, this variation of the theme appeared wholecloth in my head earlier this evening. If it sounds childish and immature, it is only because some emotions are meant to sound exactly so.
She was good for my writing
"Love, as an inspiration"
What a crock of shit
Before I knew submission
Before I tasted trust
Before I ...
... well, before
I wrote, and it was good
Love on paper
Hunger in symbols
Violence in the sweet caress
Of a comma
It was tangible
It was real
Now
I do not write better
from experience,
I only writhe
in the memory
