Pleasing
by Frank Moore, Wednesday, June 15, 2005
It is natural
Human
To create happiness
Within our combined body
Living together
Just a part of enjoying
Being together
Infusing
Melting
Surrendering into one another.
This is pleasing,
Caring,
Just being together
In being enough,
Not going anywhere,
No separation,
Floating together
In turn-on,
Doing the dishes together
Cleaning house
Making love
Cooking dinner
Feeding one other
Within our body
Without anything to prove
Or to show…
Just actively following
Together the flowing
Blood within us.
THIS IS PLEASING.
It is fashionable today,
Backed up by correctness,
To refuse to please.
But this “pleasing”
Isn’t our pleasing.
It’s appeasing.
There is nothing within our body
To appease!
The wife appeases
Her abusive husband
To not get clobbered…
The 18 year old girl
Appeases her parents
To win love, approval,
Whatever…
To escape a fist
Of power.
Appeasement
Is coins feeding
The meter
Of isolation
And separation.
“I don’t want to please anymore!”
is bleak,
cutting the heart out,
sealing active surrendering,
melting, infusing
up in a cold cell.
And this is why
Appeasing /
Running away
Is fashionable
Today.
NOT VERY PLEASING…
OR PLEASURABLE!
I ain’t writing
This so-so poem
To please you
Or appease you…
It just came out
Of our body
of loving/enjoying
Being together…
Just like kissing,
Washing dishes…
IF I KISS YOU TO PLEASE YOU
It would separate us,
Would be denying.
