I wonder if I am the only one that notices ? This site is supposed to be a Blender of LOVE. But where is the romance here ? Where is the talk of the inner beauty, the forever qualities of the heart? I know I am sounding critical, but I came here looking for beautiful romance, the story-book fantasies of the heart, not for just verbal porn. Don't get me wrong, I love erotic, sensual poetry. I also enjoy writing it too. But, It's a pretty sad state of affairs when the only thing good a man has to say about his wife - are her breasts and thighs, and the great sex she supplies for him. But he never mentions anything about her personality, not a word about her deeds and gestures of the inner qualities of her heart. Oh I know that passion is important too, for love-making and beautiful raw sex are a very important part of any relationship. And I am certainly - all for it. But there must be more. How can you fall in love with just flesh? How long can that last? Oh sure, many here will run to the defense that they do have much more than sex in common, But then why is it that you don't write about it? The majority of poems here are about lust, sex, felatio, cunnilingus, buns, butts, breasts, tits, and the list goes on. Where are the words about their inner worth, their kind gestures, their loving acts of compassion, and gentle words of endearment? Where are they ? Have we become a society that is proud of our sex lives, but embarassed about true intimacy of the heart? Are the words of romance and caring too painful for us to expose ? Yes, this site is free to let any words of romance and love be written. But I wonder - how sad has this world become when the only words of romance and love are written only as soft porn, where the inner grace and the beauty of the heart are left in the silent hushes of obscurity. |
