THE SENSUALIST
Folder:
JOURNAL#16 he knows no true word than that of daring romance
he allows his prey but one lingering look
to smolder at a glance
true beauty in its most alluring form does not
require any specific nor stunning physical attribute
the one true defining point of the most unique
human work of art is a clever tongue harnessed only
by an even more exciting mind that's famed for being
astute
cultured creativity hails from the sensational
pinnacle that sets all man's finer desires apart
true depth of spirit lies in the soul
of the poet
the lover
why, even the most patient rogue's heart
all these entities in and of themselves
share threads of a common bond
its called rich, romantic fervor
a flavor for love
A.K.A the spark
gallantly sophisticated love play
takes talent and genuine tenderness
it has to be felt
embraced by one's very own blood
like the masters who create the finer works
of art
they are scholars to the visual side of
romance
Picasso was a natural Sensualist
Renoir, Van Gogh and Rembrandt too
their timeless gifts were visual desire
the near tangible ecstasy
a culmination of but a rare chosen few
today we lavish in their remarkable talent
sense the deep Sensualism viewed in the
lust of their passionate paints
their canvas becomes the spiritual marriage
bed
where all the more magnificent mates of
life meet
linking all physical man to the rapt beauty of
the sensual brain
those today who recognize such link in themselves
are seen as eccentric, vividly erotic, perhaps
even strange
when in fact they are (or could be) models of
modern sensationalism
that we can not allow to be discouraged, trampled
upon or lost
for if we allow the sensualist in us to die
then we stifle the purer self in its everyday living
in short, we snuff out one of the crucial aspects
that makes us unique and separates us from our
animal counterparts
our individuality where being human is concerned.....
