“Do What You Must”

Dame Barbara on Mar 30, 2010

Doing what must be done isn’t always easy.

Go, do what you must,

while this body is full of lust.

Turn your back

to what I lack

using me as just a snack.

I promise you,

that you will miss

my words of bliss,

my seductive kiss,

the vision of my body

hot in your mind

and the gaping portal

I allow only you to find.

I assure you

that nothing else will you find

as scrumptious as mine.

Even though my ego has been split in two,

my mind and body still want you.

To wrap yourself around me,

to tease me,

to work me.

To fill me full of your essence

and make me hot with your presence.

Take me high where no one has tread

take me to your lover’s bed.

All of this can no longer be,

and now I see

what you do and do not

want from me,

as well to what degree.

I now cut you loose from any ties.

This is for the best I must surmise.

DB…this sounds so painfully final…hope it isn’t a serious parting of the ways…wrap up your wounded ego whatever the cause and touch base again. Certainly things can’t be that bad because the other half probably still has a mind and body yearning for the same thing as you. The flame is probably still burning at the other end of your friendship/relationship…what steps have you taken to ascertain that cutting loose is what the other wants? Or is that what you want and are using this as an excuse. By the sound of the passion shared…too much has been invested to simply toss the baby out with the bath water. I voted that I like the poem…but I don’t like the finality sounding of it so like I said…go ahead and touch base again because this still sounds like it is something worth salvaging…it is like a car being in an accident a trip to the body shop and it can be good as new again so give it a try…you just might be surprised to find that you were anxious to pull the plug too soon. Thanks and take care.

Such a meaningful poem. Explore every avenue of understanding though. A reaction in haste can be a long lasting regret. People make the wrong move for the wrong reasons all the time. In a relationship as important as this one seems, make sure that both parties give every single last chance their is before making a final decision. Great write again Barbara. You’re incredibly versatile.

Hi there!
