"I wonder could I get the hang of it"


Poem Artwork

Left Unknown

No stranger to pain myself it seems odd
That being hurt or hurting should seem fun
To friends and lovers or to anyone

I hear much less of Masoch than of Sade
But find a bit of both in everyone
And rather more of Satan than of God

Some have a little more of one I guess
Than the other yet neither pleases me

Without much experience to confess
And not quite sure what to be pleased might be
With little to go on I must admit

I wonder could I get the hang of it
Or are some things just better left unknown
To neither hurt nor hurting sleep alone?

+Steven Curtis Lance

Unfortunately sleeping alone solves problems but creates its own. Excellent write. Liz

Great thought provoking write. The words weave great insight into the web of life and the human spirit.

When you have a write like this you have to drink it in slowly tasting each word in each line because it leaves much to consider.

Thanks,
Dan

But find a bit of both in everyone
And rather more of Satan than of God
That was a poignant statement.
Great write
God Bless,
