Last Valentine's Day, I posted a few fictional pieces describing different aspects of romantic relationships-a tender sonnet for the hopelessly romantic and a wicked horror story for the bitter and jaded.
This year, I seem to be running behind. So, rather than highlight the extremes of love, I thought I'd go for the ambiguous. The following poem is a recent work of mine, and I haven't had time to polish it up as I would like, so it is a little rougher than usual. It captures the idea I was looking for... that a relationship of any sort requires some give and take, some yielding, in order to last. Think of it as riding the waves, Eros-style.
Acquiescent
A body yielding to its surroundings
Deep tissue massage
Hands pressed on flesh
Molding muscle
Coated in a slippery slave
The hardened tendons yield
Bumps are softened
Rough edges smoothed
The salve becomes the mortar
Filling the cracks
Leveling the surface
Into complacent balance
The body relaxed
Becomes the foundation.
