The Dilemma of Desire
by Dark Knight → (All Poetry by Dark Knight)
   Rated "G" by the Author.

I wish I had a Dragon to fight

let emerge the Wild Man inside of me,

stop living in a world of nice and polite,

rescue the Beauty I cannot see

 

 

Augustine said: " Longing is the Heart's Treasury"

if so my desire is a dilemma too,

I long for a battle to fight, a beauty to win,

does my poem speak to any of you?

 

 

To open my heart, desire the dream

is to risk pain I didn't know,

but O I do not wish for a quiet life,

the Wild Man is part of my soul

 

 

Bilbo said" Risky entering the world of desire

a dangerous business" he did say,

" No knowing where you'll be swept off to"

but playing it safe isn't the way

 

 

And so I voice here alone

that Love will weave its Poetic art,

like the softness of a sweet cello,

find the path to my lonely heart

 

 

Better to risk it all for Passion

I'm a Wild Man full of desire,

the dilemma for any guy, to play it safe,

or let Romance consume him with Erotic Fire

DK, here you metaphorically describe the place between passion and monotony. I know that place well.

Peace,

A difficult one...many of us ladies want to see the 'Wild Man' (sometimes)...but love the Romantic wooing also...When the lady is the right one, she'll love the totality...and embrace with ultimate Passion the WILD MAN!!

Best wishes for 2013...
