Prelude To Morality's Destiny, The Embrace

Critical is her decision.

Before the embrace

she experienced the child like innocence

of fascination

hushed in the measured mouth

of tepid breath's anticipation

a childish exuberance

emotion, physical sensuality on alert

as all blended into a formidable elixir

embraces amply fanning

passion's flame into full blaze

her feet danced in the pit of aggressive lust

air displaced by scentless pheromones

now in forced march to the id

ushered in upon the rush of raw desire

to stand down at once her choice

or experience guilt ridden connubial bliss

in the race to primordial capitulation

moist, quivering lips and steamy breaths

urging to completion

sensibility on siesta

swiftly rationalization strikes from the ego

like a bolt of lightning

reason rushes in to take command

virginity is spared the breach of foolish whims

to be lost only when the moment

meets discretion's criteria

standing toe to toe with morality

and the one and only partner for love's waltz

Too often the decision is not one of the head or heart
but by a flush not easily resisted. In the case of your
young woman, we assume that reason and her morality won
out...this time. You write of it with such skill, Jon,
as always. -gene.

Jon,
Underlying this is the question of corruption, is innocence compromised by 'the embrace' and if it is is it necessarily to a disadvantage? I like the way you leave the argument open because I'm not convinced reason taking command is always the better way. I enjoyed the complexity of thought and expression here, this is fine and deep.

Jon,I think this one of your best! Your grasp of the topic shows in the brilliant progression of emotions and actions that end with morality as the winner,which is the way we hope it would,but in these times it is rare...Exquisite touch,in this splendid poem!

Love,
Eileen
