My newest poem: " The Little Death"

[CaliforniaPeggy]

They call it
The little death
Perhaps that’s because
You think you’re dying
At that moment of
Exploding pleasure.

I cannot know
Where it will take me
Any time
I go there

I never know how it’ll feel
It’s always different

But there are always tears
At the end
of my little death

Perhaps that’s ‘cause
I’ve glimpsed
My body’s mortality
In the cascading vibrations

Sorrow is the great liberator
It helps us
Lose ourselves
Inside it.

And when we return to life
We are so grateful
To have gotten there
Away from

Our little death.

1. Never been here before. Seems...

comfy enough. Nice poem!

Not how I experience things, though... :blush:

2. My dear Strong Atheist!

It's a bit off the beaten track, but it still works...

Hey, we all experience things in our own individual ways!

Glad you like my little work...

Thanks, sweetie...

You never, ever, fail to impress, Peggy.

Thank you for sharing your insight on what to some of us is a bit of a mystery.

Wow.

7. My dear NYC_SKP....

And now it's my turn to say Wow...

Ask your girlfriend...she'll tell you if this is accurate for her.

I am really touched by your remarks, sweetie...

Thank you...

8. Well, that was a long hike over here to find your poem...

I saw your post on FB through my email, but couldn't reply there because it's blocked at work.

Yes, the French call it L'petit mort or some such (not sure on the spelling), but I remember it from Anais Nin or somewhere.

Very nice poem Peg.

Though, re the last line: I'm not so sure that I'm glad to come back, lol!

9. My dear cwydro...

Yup, this forum sure is off the beaten track, but this is where I have permission to post this...

So, here we are!

Glad you enjoyed it, lol! Sorry about the last line...;)

Thanks, sweetie!

10. I gotta say though

I don't understand it being locked as a sex thread.

Some of the ones in some of the other poetry threads were much more raw than yours.
