know your passion
know your pleasure
but learn carefully
your threshold for pain
and to just what degree
that its best fully measured
if done so properly
your very own personal ecstasy
shall greet you happily
at the bedroom door of
life
as good sex often equivocates
good men
and even happier circumstances
good reason stands to make a
healthy profit
in this notion.................
