Donations are essential to keep Write Out Loud going    

RIGHTS OF PASSAGE

I fucked you in a mirror,

I fucked you on a dance floor,

in the kitchen

in the garden too;

it may seem all the same to you

 

but i'm proud of my backgrounds,

scenes of spice,

sometimes I forget just where

and really, does anyone care

if i'm Roger Moore or Mack the Knife?

It's just a fucking part of life.

Thanks David. There is a glaring gap between what Christian thinking defends, namely the glory of union and the lusts of the flesh as we all know. One seems a parody of the other. I dated a prostitute(no charge) once who seemed to like me, she thought my Morris Traveller was cool. It was a joyless lliason but she thought Hampstead Heath was the right place. I remember the sense of freedom it gave me.

Your altar scene made me think of a Dennis Wheatley novel!
I think you may not to have go through the fire being an atheist. Keep fair sex in please - often just a dream.

Glad you appreciated the poem.

Brian, sorry mate I got there before you, 1975 or 76. I think Primrose Hill is much more romantic. Have I not seen Tanya's name somewhere?

Thanks Big Sal, always appreciated.

Cheers Hannah - I was having second thoughts on using the F word, but it did add impact, so I left it in.

Thanks for the likes, Jon ,Anya and Darren !

Readers of this may notice the incorrect use of "Rights" rather than "Rites" in the title. One of you discreetly pointed that out. Taking it on the chin, I decided to leave it in even though it was a mistake on my part. It's all a good game, and perhaps it may appeal as an alternative spelling just to show how clever I am!

(just testing). Ray

Tanya, a prop forward, took the top position when we made love at sunset on Primrose Hill. It left a big impression on me.
