| The Erotica Seekers' Lament |
| The lights were strobing The moonlight bright The dew wet on your feet Surrounded by glistening Naked Body-parts It was a voyeur's vision Come to life Erotica in the flesh The music was loud The rhythms pleasing There were well over A hundred at least Many dancing with Friends or lovers It was almost hypnotic Watching the Body-parts Move in unison to the Beat of the drummer... A synchronization of Humanness And some danced to their Own drummer And the partner didn't Seem to care It was a voyeur's vision Come to life The sum total of all Previous erotica The books... the videos The magazines This was not fantasy This was real ! You could reach out and Touch the people There were breasts and Scrotums and waists And penises and legs And butts And each Body-part Was different Some were round Some pointed Some larger or smaller Shaved or hairy Skinny or obese Some were young Some old Lots in the middle The naked Body-parts Were laughing... talking Drinking beer Going to the rest rooms It was like any Saturday Night dance at the Lodge Or church or country club Except no one wore any Clothes... ALL the Body Parts could glisten It was the land of the Au Naturals... there Were few tan lines |
| Some were regulars Others new comers Some of the new comers Came to seek erotica The mysteries of 'sexy ' The unknown-untried The imaginations of Fantasy and lust And it seemed that many Of the erotica seekers Were disappointed ... mostly in themselves Imagination was not here Reality was here Just normal people were Here... laughing... talking Dancing... sitting... having A nice time or bored like People everywhere Some of the erotica seekers Left early... confusion on their Faces... a lament for Something lost in their mind They seemed surprised That after all these years They had discovered that the Excitement... the desire Was not in the Body-parts That the real excitement And stimulation came from The Minds... and the laughs And the attitudes and the Smiles... from the soul of A single unique person For erotica seekers this was A hard change to bear ... perhaps better to deny But a few of the new comers Remained... to study and Try and understand this Change in expectations And themselves... In their mind And perhaps some finally Perceived...actually saw Eros... The potential for enduring Love...desire... affection Based on a Connection... Not just naked Body-parts And their touching Erotica or Eros... Short term titillation or Long term togetherness... Always confusing Perhaps Especially To Ourselves |
