Before I introduce this weeks poem, just a word about the poetic art. A strong portion of myself greatly rebels against poetry that is inaccessible and incoherent. I think the hyperlink technology is a great way to add to the ability to make a poem more accessible. I am a fan of T.S. Eliot's poetry, because even with his obscure references you knew what the hell he was talking about or he at least gave you a chance to figure it out. Maybe it was all the footnotes in The Wasteland or his redemptive Four Quartets or because of his sing-song Hollow Men:
This is the way the world ends.
This is the way the world ends.
Not with a bang, but a whimper.
Today's WTF poem takes us from the whimper ending wimp out of the world, to the beginning with Adam and Eve and from the fall to the teachings of the New Testament and culminating in the crucifixion of our Savior, Jesus Christ, examined in my own, critical fashion:
Mormon Erotica's Biblical Love Re-Dux
Adam got Eve
Because it wasn't good for man
To be alone,
Because he needed his ass out of paradise
And suffering
In the cold cruel world.
Love your neighbor
As you love yourself
Is pretty bad fucking advice ---
Because most of us
Are pretty self-loathing.
Love your enemies,
Bless them that despitefully use you --
This is the definition of
Romantic love.
God so loved the world
That he sent us his only begotten son.
And look what happened
To Him.
A blog of erotica, with a focus on Mormon themes, striving to reconcile the mind, body, and spirit schism in a glorious orgasm of oneness.

MORMON EROTICA
The blog is devoted to exploring sexual issues arising out of American and Mormon culture. While the prurient may occasionally surface and while the tone may be sarcastic or sacreligious, the discussion is serious. I want to get deep.
