Poetry/General Writing
First topic!! I wrote something while drunk, and decided to make something out of it. I've never written before, nor do I know anything about poetry, so this was fun. I'll post my writing, and people post their own!
'The Complex Relationship between Lust, Love, and Desire.'
Part 1:
'An Outside Perspective'
"The internal desire of one, beckoning those around them.
Who is the one in control?
The endless cycle of lust; an excuse for diluted love.
If not love, what is to be desired?
Outside of the realm of love, there are escapes.
The ability to review those around them; entertainment comes to those who wait.
And what to the one who has neither lust nor love? What purpose in life requires neither?
No such objective may exist; the endless maze that is the entangled dance of love and lust overpower them.
What else in life matters?
Degradation. Sadistic pleasure. Is there lust without love?
Perhaps neither are as entangled as one could expect.
The endless cycle of lust; there is no excuse for diluted love."
Part 2:
'Diving Deep into the Lake'
"The ocean of lust. Deep, under the lake of desire.
They who stay in love, will always drown under lust.
Is there a difference?
Lust; an intimate reach into love. There can be lust without love, but love without lust is rare.
Why? Why must an ocean surpass the lake?
Under the ocean, what awaits those who drown?
Lust intoxicates. Lust drowns.
What is lust, without desire?
Does desire have purpose without lust?
The lake upon an ocean. The ocean under the lake. Similar, yet distinct.
Those who dive deep into love, drown under lust.
It isn't a lake. It's an ocean."
Part 3:
'Frozen'
"Bent. Broken. Chipped. Cracked.
The lake that's not a lake; frozen over an ocean.
There is no such thing.
Why hide from desire?
What point is there in wait?
If not entirely desire?
If no rhythm is set.
If no drums beat.
Can it really be called an ocean?
The lack of lust can ruin love.
If love were to freeze over, what would it be to lust?
Frozen. 8 inches. What is ice, without water?
Drought.
The lack of water.
Can an empty vessel freeze over?"
Part 4:
'Empty'
"End. Is end another beginning?
The beginning will always lead to an end, regardless of the journey.
What is there to see?
What is there to explore?
Why put effort into your own, if not done?
Why must it be you?
Why should it be you?
Undeserved.
The drought of an ocean affects the lake.
The lake which makes an ocean.
Why are they separate?
Dependency. Those who depend on lust are frail.
Empty.
The lack of love.
Why love, if it is more desirable to lust?
What is lust?
Why is lust?
What is lust; for love to have disappeared?
Empty."
Part 5:
'The Masks Behind the Veil'
"Behind the veil; what lies beneath?
The interchangable masks.
Anything for lust; if not decency.
Lust is eternal. Lust is the driving force behind action.
Behind lust, there is desire.
What is beyond desire?
The interchangable masks.
The desire for love. What drives those to love?
What is beyond love?
The interchangeable masks.
The endless need for compensation. The masks are fragile; chipped.
The lake froze over.
The ocean froze over.
The masks have chipped, as the wind dries clearer.
The ocean was wet again."
Part 6:
'The Distortion of interchangeable Masks'
"Wet.
Rain.
Water.
Downpour.
Downpour unto what?
An ocean?
Or is it a lake?
The interchangeable masks.
The final resting place of love; why?
Red. Black. Green. Yellow.
The distortion of identity; why?
What makes a lake?
What makes an ocean?
The interchangable masks.
The first birthing of lust;
how?
Red. Black. Green. Yellow.
The distortion of identity; of interchangeable masks.
What's done is done; matters settled.
The love was lusting again."
Part 8:
'Finale'
"Down. Underneath the waves of lust.
What is further?
Down. Underneath the shore of love.
Wet. Moist. Warm. Delicious.
The lake is an ocean.
The ocean is a lake.
Both are together as one. Love and lust, together.
Beauty.
What is beauty?
Beauty is the truth, and the truth is wet.
Wet. Moist. Warm. Delicious."
