#monogamy
In the thick of lust you're confused and lost, infatuated in the splendor you wander. Absence makes your heart grow fonder. You don't know me. Here I am, can you tell me how you feel now? You favor then condemn. You loved but now hate. What you had cherished you now deem worthless. Yesterday you were prideful. Today you know you're a scoundrel. Focusing only to forget them and insisting commitment only to omit the rest of the world. (once again) You favor then condemn. You loved but now hate. What you had cherished you now deem worthless. Yesterday you were prideful. Today you know you're a scoundrel. What's done is done. This may hurt... You're not entitled to my attention. A single option is not an option at all Nothing's more objectifying than to be your victim. I declare: I am not taken. You do not own me. This ends... now. Speak this into existence: Goodbye.

Us vs. The World
Who really IS the one? Why do I have to date to marry? Sure, it’s to be together forever with your one true person, but— How can one person be for me? One person for everybody? Now you sound like you’re lying. Monogamy doesn’t sound right for me. I have too many feelings for this. So really, who IS the one?

Such a weird spectrum!
A glutton for devotion, is what I would say of myself. Reserved only for singular reverence. Chainlink fence around portrait perimeter. Love lies lusciously where the marvelous maple lets leaves lay in the autumn. Core, contained in a thick cluster of counterculture conscience. Averse to all wealth, save the cornucopia held within my sternum.

Confined in a cage, I gaze across waters The flesh of two becomes one, As they sway and glide in the absence of quarantine Fresh meat dangled before my eyes My gardens are lifeless, and dessicated My hands cannot fit through the bars The essence of infancy locked inside with me He is mine, formed of stardust and altruism Yet he weeps dejection The lake is filled with unions, Who dance alongside me The stars refract from silken gowns and ties There are no bars for the bonded, I am isolated in my entanglement, Yet their shoulders rest easy Disparaging words waterfall from their lips, I fear I may drown in the ocean they've filled "Thou own venereous ways bind you to thy cage" Though hands reach to me, thorned in lechery, I decline with words, and beg with flesh I immured myself inside For the infancy, and his frail form Remain only extant in the womb of my captivity

Monogamy
I can write you a letter You can read it before you sleep I can knit you a toy Only one which you can keep My gifts to you The only trace of me in your world A strand of my auburn hair touches Your floor Your face Your bed Your beard My gifts to you The only trace of me in your world

The only trace of me in your world
Sun-rimmed & splendorous this afternoon of us barefoot in the grass ... Noontide escapade & pageantry the mural on the wall of your heart says you agree ... Loving outside of ourselves constructs the nook I feel what you feel Sehnsucht ... There's an au fait air between this man & wife bound in codex this breath of life

when you're tired of the swings and the thrill of the roundabouts how's another playground gonna recharge your adrenaline you survived all the bruises and the scars have healed faded so many tumbles trying to push an unreachable envelope perhaps it's time to appreciate the stars rather than trying to reach them to conquer the universe

Monogamy
Both our hearts are caught in between Envy coating us pistachio-green A varnish not shiny but smooth Reflecting light the tiniest move Eye-catching beauty to who dares look A white pebble sparkling in a slow-paced brook Containing jealous winds with restraints of ink Emotions grow faster than you think What starts as cloudy weather goes from small to bad Soon a storm of feelings leaves you powerless and sad

Envy
We know this particular neck of the woods well. To know her is to love her, Over and over again. The nexus between us has a motive All its own: strike the firing pin. Then spin~spin~spin. I see stars that uninhibitedly glow. Heaven has opened Up her waiting arms. Who said, "All that glitters is not gold?" Was it not a desperate wistful streetcar? Heyday! We're bathed in a bridal veil of angel light: The crowning nimbus. *** is a knotty business: it binds. Given enough rope, we Hang from the rafters. Come fruition come! Ah, this sleep is sweet On those morning afters.

The scary thing is You could be enough for me The intensity of these feelings And our insane connection Might be enough alone But I'm afraid to give you all of me

What I Never Told You
Sadness and euphoria. They are bitter truths that go together, Like zealotry and bigotry, Or monogamy and deceit. Sadness and euphoria: sadness the shell, euphoria the oyster.

Sadness and Euphoria
I’m searching for an answer. Surrounded by monogamists I crawl and weep, Surrounded by dogmatists I hunger. I’m searching for a key to unlock the doors of profanity. I don’t want to hear something about the seasons, Or anything about ethics. No more flowers, Away with the aesthetic of yore. Give me the affairs, the filth, secret lives. Give me the runaways, the elderly, the jokesters. Give me the casanovas and cougars. I search this rotten boulevard and t All night, all night, even during the day.. I’m on the search.. I’m looking for a key to unlock the doors of profanity.

A Key to Unlock the Doors of Profanity
You had yet to discover that you were polyamorous and I was purely monogamous but we were in love I just wanted you but you wanted others as well as me When we first met you looked at me as if I were the only person that sees the world as you do After years of beautiful memories your eyes no longer looked at me that way and you broke my heart as well as my trust But instead of seeing yourself as a cheat and begging for forgiveness you asked me to accept this new side of you Polyamory... am I terrible for not being open minded enough to accept this new and mysterious concept? Because I can't help but see it as a pathetic excuse for you to hide behind instead of facing the truth

Polyamory vs Monogamy.
I'm like a curse A walking parasite Latching onto various people Until it gets to be too much And then I move on to the next That's how they see me at least They don't realize the humanity within me They don't see the tears The anger The pain When someone loses me I lose them too I don't just happily move on I feel the searing sting Tears burning scarred skin Wishing I could be what they needed But I never am They say I don't know what love is "If you love someone, you don't leave" I hear you But I disagree You were hurting And I was hurting We both still feel that pain But "us" is impossible Regardless of feelings Regardless of love I'm learning to live for myself So I can stop hurting those around me Because you deserve better than that You're right, I didn't try hard enough But I was suffocating And the distance didn't help at all Yes you're unhappy now but At least you have a chance to move on I couldn't give you forever I couldn't give you stability I am unpredictable "Curve ***** you called them Fluid feelings aren't made for forever Maybe I don't know what love is Or maybe I express it differently We were good once And I'll hold on to those memories But we're nothing but toxic now And I don't know what to do with that

More Sides to the Story
I'm not sure I'm ready to lose the love I feel now But I don't know if I can let go of you either I wish we could compromise I wish it wasn't all or nothing for you Even if I left them You and I would have to start over Are you ready for that? Am I? Can I guarantee monogamy forever Or will it all fall away again?

It's Not as Easy as You Think
I haven't really faced these feelings yet They've been hidden deep in my soul Because it'd be easier to be heartless Than to acknowledge the reality I know I broke up with you And I know the way things happened was not ok I keep replaying where things changed Trying to pinpoint that moment where Everything stopped feeling right And I think I finally found it We were doing great together So much love We thrived together And then I told you I'm polyamorous And then I didn't listen to you I didn't recognize my problematic behavior And you were scared I assume you felt like you were losing me And I was finally feeling free But I wasn't gone yet We were still trying to be ok But you shut down, understandably And I got scared and distanced myself You needed me more And I felt trapped by that So we both slowly changed And neither could keep up with the others needs I am not trying to justify this I am just trying to understand Because I still miss you When I'm laying here alone Cuddling my Nemo And all I can picture is how you guys cuddled on the couch together Or when I'm out doing something And I think about how much you'd like it Trying not to wish you were with me But sometimes I do I can't even play video games Or watch love it or list it Without these haunting memories So I just avoid it and do nothing instead Maybe if we lived closer it would have been different Maybe if I would have paid more attention to your needs We wouldn't have ended up this way I know I said we weren't compatible But we were once upon a time I'm sorry if I made you feel like you weren't enough You deserve so much more than I gave you I'm sorry for not being enough for you Because you really deserve everything good You're a good person And I care about you I hope you find happiness one day I know you will You're good I'm sorry for taking that away from you

Why do lovers chant - forever, don't they realize passions fade, that arteries so surely sever when gifts of ****** hearts are made and dullness claims the escapade and eyes begin the soft peruse... So much goes into getting laid. Why let romantic fluff abuse... For dogs, a sniff and stuff suffice. Black widows, yeah, we're all aware. And rabbits have it worked out nice; while porcupines must pork with care... Why make a song of an affair with final notes struck to bemuse, your genitalia set to snare... Why let romantic fluff abuse... Why let romantic fluff abuse... I'm not attacking marriage, no! So much is gained when two minds choose to plant that seed, so much can grow, so much to share and learn and know, that strengthens our society, like those basics of propriety that vilify variety. I'm not attacking marriage, no! No better view than from this web; so, let those dogs put on their show. A bunny's stamina must ebb. A rabbit's lusting thirst must ebb! Oh god, I'd risk a scrotal quill for a chance to climb different hill and dance until I've had my fill.
