#epicureanism
In my small, soft belly Excitement builds. Exquisite little judders pull As if you possess a magnet for pleasure And have buried deep inside me What you want to attract. I place my hand a little lower And sigh, wondering why The mere thought of you sets me a-trembling Like a first-time racehorse, eager for the course. I am coltish, nerves thrumming, Imaginary music humming Through my heart, my head. Take me to your bed. Take me where you will, To all the places within you, Make my home your body and soul. Eat me, I am gourmet flesh For this epicurean adventure I am longing personified Oh, you - ah - you - are perfect Let me taste your heart.

Pleasure is the greatest good
How sad the trees be when winter comes as fall leaves and the flowers die What consolation is Venus’s forsaken yielding spring to rise? For once staring death, summer fastens by a breath and the flowers die Yet made to know doom, trees tither the chance to bloom yielding spring to rise
